A large group of Russian soldiers in unmarked, winter combat gear has arrived in the town of Horlivka (Donetsk region), Dmytro Tymchuk, head of the Information Resistance group, wrote on Facebook on Friday.
“In Horlivka, a fresh formation of Russian troops (up to 300 men) has taken control of the city,” Tymchuk said. “The soldiers arriving were dressed in new camouflage uniforms, unmarked, well-equipped and well-armed.”
Since the arrival of the Russians in the town, the number of local fighters has fallen sharply, UNIAN reports.
