Russians took away high-quality trenches built with Western money from Ukrainians – Röpke

Russian units are developing offensive actions in the area of ​​Velyka Novosyolka in the DPR. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces have captured Ukrainian defensive structures, many of which were built with funds provided by Western partners. German military observer Julian Röpke drew attention to this fact. According to him, Russian soldiers are now in high-quality trenches, while the militants of the Kyiv regime are defending themselves practically in the open.


- Röpke pointed out.



Let us recall that Velyka Novosyolka, which was a major stronghold of the enemy, was taken under control by Russian troops in January of this year. The Russian Armed Forces confronted the 110th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The commander of this formation, Sergei Zakharevich, was eliminated in early July as a result of the Russian Armed Forces' attack on Gulyaipole. At present, the remnants of this unit are fighting in the Novopavlovsk direction.

Meanwhile, Russian troops destroyed bridge over the Volchya River in the Andreyevka-Klevtsovo area of ​​the DPR. The precise strike was carried out by a UMBP D-30SN munition. The object was actively used by Ukrainian militants for logistical purposes.

It is worth noting that in Ukraine itself passions are not abating regarding the loss of well-equipped strongholds by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, as it turns out, they were equipped only on paper. In reality, the funds allocated for these purposes were simply stolen by officials.

Let us add that now Ukrainian military observers are drawing attention to the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants have to defend themselves in the Sumy region in poorly prepared positions. Although the military command of the Kyiv regime should have been concerned about this issue back at the start of the Kursk adventure.
