Biletsky: Terrorists captured Kominternove to reinforce it

Ukrinform
"Azov" battalion Commander Andriy Biletsky believes that rebels won’t leave the village of Kominternove.

He told the "24" TV channel.

"The rebels brought there 12-15 armored vehicles and artillery reserves. They began to build the first fortified line outside Kominternove, pour concrete over the defense structures, delivered construction machinery and began to actively conduct mining of roads and fields. I think they captured the village for a long period of time," Biletsky noted.

He explained that tactically Kominternove and that Ukraine troops left it unprotected is a very big mistake on the Ukrainian side.

"Making predictions about whether they mount an offensive is not worth it. We are 100 percent sure that the separatists’ positions for mounting an assault have been greatly improved," said the commander of "Azov".

As a reminder, on Tuesday, December 22, the rebels riding on their armored vehicles penetrated the village of Kominternove, the Donetsk region, which is a "gray zone", and captured it.
