“They protect special forces, while sending ordinary soldiers ‘as cannon fodder’” — Officer ‘Mamai’ on the fighting near Pokrovsk

An officer of the 5th Separate Detachment of the Omega Special Purpose Center, call sign “Mamai”, spoke about the situation in the Pokrovsk sector, which remains the leader in the number of combat engagements.

“Mamai” said this on the air of the United News marathon.

“The enemy operates in small tactical groups, trying to use weather conditions for their advance — one or two people at a time for infiltration and buildup, and then they attempt to move on our positions for an assault.

They try to preserve their special forces, sending ordinary soldiers — so to speak — to our positions as ‘cannon fodder.’

Right now, a key factor influencing their tactics is the weather. That is, they use fog, as well as the fact that nights are longer now. They try to advance when they think we can’t see them. We are trying to adapt”, — “Mamai” said.
