MOSCOW, February 3. /TASS/. The Russian military does not allow the Ukrainian armed forces to gain a foothold on the entire front line, DPR head Denis Pushilin said.
"We are observing the liberation of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, which in turn allows further access to other fronts and, of course, prevents the enemy from gaining a foothold. This is true in almost all areas," he said during a Rossiya-24 TV broadcast.
In particular, according to Pushilin, the Russian troops are breaking into Ukrainian defenses near Velikaya Novoselka, preventing Ukrainian units from establishing a defense.
