He noted that in the Liman and Sinkovka areas, motorized rifle formations repelled four counterattacks by assault groups of the 32nd and 41st mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian army. The mission was accomplished with the support of aviation and artillery fire. The enemy brigade was reinforced with armored vehicles.
