"The enemy tried more, probably, based on some PR considerations, to advance in the direction of the Donetsk airport, but there the valiant "Sparta", understanding everything, realizing everything, did everything as it should", — he said .
According to him, in the end, the allied forces destroyed the group of fighters almost completely. Pushilin also said that he spoke with the military at the front line. He noted the successful actions of the soldiers and their unchanging fighting spirit. Since February 24, a special operation has been underway to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. Vladimir Putin called its task «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to him, the ultimate goal is the liberation of Donbass and the creation of conditions guaranteeing the security of Russia itself. The Russian army, together with the forces of the DPR and LPR, completely liberated the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic and a significant part of Donetsk, including Volnovakha, Mariupol and Svyatogorsk.
