Vostok Group of Forces assists Ugledar civilians and destroys AFU firepower in its vicinity

The Vostok Group's combined arms formation from Transbaikalia, who participated in the liberation of Ugledar, provide comprehensive assistance to more than 100 local residents who remained in the city. Servicemen deliver medicines, food, and articles of the bare necessities to people, and offer to evacuate them to a more safe place if necessary.

Talking to the locals, it is clear that our military personnel have already done the most important thing: the people of Ugledar feel liberated for the first time in a long time.

'It was very difficult, in every way, and now it's easy inside... the sons will see their mother on television, everyone is alive, don't worry,' said one of the local women, without holding back her tears.

The citizens refused to move to the territory controlled by the Kiev regime, despite being held at gunpoint in the basements by AFU assault rifles. The nationalists tried to literally shoot people out of the town, regularly shelling houses where civilians were hiding, a school, a hospital, and when running away they took whatever they could.

'It is hard to describe how we were robbed, how the hospital was destroyed, how people died. From the side of Kurakhovo, such shot shells flew and directly to the hospital. There were lorries full of sofas, children's bicycles, fridges, and pans, and so on. They drove and smiled,' said one of the local women.

The Vostok Group of Forces continues to push the enemy back and build on the success. Some of them advanced northwest of Ugledar and near Vesyoloye approaching Bogoyavlenka.
