The Russian army loses the battle for Gulyaipole, but does not retreat
According to Vladyslav Voloshyn, as of today, the most difficult situation is near Hulyaipol and in the Hulyaipol direction in general.
Moreover, the number of enemy assaults in the Oleksandrivka direction also increased.
As for Hulyaipol directly, fierce fighting is still ongoing there.
Russian invaders try to infiltrate, but the Ukrainian Defense Forces stop and destroy the Russian soldiers.
What is important to understand is that on December 27 alone, Russian troops on this section of the front lost almost 400 men.
This is one of the record indicators of their losses, but despite this, the enemy continues to conduct assault operations, conduct infiltration attempts, try to bring their reinforcement groups to Hulyaipole, pull up reserves, and even from some other directions, for example, from Verbovoye, they withdraw their units from there and try to bring them to Hulyaipole in order to gain certain positions, — explained Vladislav Voloshyn.
