The Russian Aerospace Forces bombed completely destroyed the defensive fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Popasnoye near Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People's Republic.
This was told to the TASS news agency on Friday, July 17, by a military expert, retired LPR lieutenant colonel Andrei Marochko, citing his own sources.
He explained that we are talking about the Druzhkov direction, where the Russian military has achieved serious successes in the area of the Popasnoye settlement, causing serious damage to the enemy's defensive lines.
"Our powerful aviation ammunition arrived there — and all those fortifications that the Ukrainian militants tried to make have now simply turned into dust and into a huge funnel," the veteran said.
Earlier, EADaily reported that Russian units from the Dnepr group of forces continue to advance in the Orekhovsky sector, which led to a noticeable subsidence of the front line for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
