'There has been no sight of equipment for over a month, the main assaults are meat assaults. Pairs, trios,' the serviceman said, describing the enemy's tactics of attacking in small infantry groups of 2-3 people.

According to him, in some cases, enemy units temporarily hold positions in shelters, but Ukrainian defenders effectively respond to such attempts.
