In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian infantry tried to hide in pipes, drainage collectors, and forest belts, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces discovered and eliminated them, according to the 5th Separate Assault Kyiv Brigade.
"Infantry in the pipes is no longer infantry," the military emphasized.
According to the soldiers, there are places in the Kramatorsk direction where the enemy keeps trying to infiltrate — pipes, drainage collectors, and forest belts.
"They think it’s safe there. But our operators work accurately and systematically. Another destruction of infantry in the pipes is a confirmed minus to the enemy’s unit. Don’t hide. We will find you anyway," the brigade added.
