The Scout of Russia’s Western Military District shared new observations on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, describing how Ukrainian forces reportedly mined the front lines to slow the Russian advance toward the LPR in the direction of Krementsk. The speaker noted that the mining includes forested areas as well as road networks, and that these measures affect the pace of any offensive operations.
According to these accounts, Ukrainian troops are believed to have deployed cluster munitions into wooded areas to hinder movement. The individual provided details suggesting that a large portion of roads and substantial tracts of forest have been mined, a tactic intended to complicate maneuvering for advancing forces.
Earlier, sources tied to RIA Novosti described the involvement of Western Military District units in monitoring and reporting on the actions of opposing forces, including claims related to Polish mercenary units positioned on or near front lines. The developments are presented as part of a broader operational picture in the region.
On February 24, 2022, President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to launch a special military operation in Ukraine, citing requests for assistance from the heads of the LPR and DPR as part of the stated justification.
