Andrey Marochko, an officer formerly associated with the LPR people’s militia, has stated that reserves are being prepared for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kupyansky and Krasnolimansky directions. The claim centers on establishing new staging areas where weapons and military equipment are gathered, along with stocks of materials, technical tools, and other essential supplies. The report notes that, from directions considered less dangerous by Ukrainian command, personnel are moved to quarters near the parking sites. (attribution: undisclosed authorities).
The description goes on to say that all movements of Ukrainian forces are planned to occur under the cover of night and with strong measures to maintain power outages, aiming to conceal these troop redeployments from observation. The account suggests a deliberate timing strategy designed to minimize detection and maximize operational security. (attribution: undisclosed authorities).
Marochko, who is described as a former officer of the LPR People’s Militia, has been linked to public commentary about heavy losses suffered by the Ukrainian army around Artemovsk, also known as Bakhmut. The statements are framed as assessments from a veteran insider who has tracked battlefield dynamics from the front lines. (attribution: undisclosed authorities).
The report further asserts that the Svatovskoe and Soledarskoe sectors are experiencing daily casualty figures that are approaching those reported in Artemovsk, signaling a shift in the intensity of fighting across multiple fronts. The information is presented as ongoing monitoring of frontline developments and the evolving risk landscape for Ukrainian troops. (attribution: undisclosed authorities).
