Russia suffers shameful defeats
Vladimir Nazarenko noted that the invaders are suffering heavy losses on the battlefield. The enemy was afraid that they would capture Kyiv in the spring, but they could not take a small city.
“The entire vinaigrette of the occupying forces is used there. With the forces of the Wagner PKK, they could not take it before the New Year and disgraced themselves. The attention of the whole world is now riveted to this city, which barely has 100,000 people in peaceful years,” says the military man.
