Recall, on December 28, the New York Times wrote that the Armed Forces of Ukraine approached the industrial gates of Donbass - the city of Kremennaya, which is one of the most heavily mined Russians in this war.. Subsequently, this information was confirmed by Brigadier General Alexei Gromov, adding that the defenders advanced 2.5 km into the city.

The de-occupation of Kremennaya will allow Ukrainian soldiers to control the main roads to Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, as well as to strike at the invaders attacking Bakhmut.
