MOSCOW, June 5. /TASS/. Russian forces keep under control all their positions at the Svatovo-Kremennaya section of the frontline, military expert Andrey Marochko, a retired lieutenant-colonel of the LPR people’s militia, has said.

"Not a single position has been surrendered. Everyone is holding the defense, but it is true that the situation is difficult," he said on Russia’s TV Channel One.
