"There was no command from the General Staff. Everything was left to chance. Debaltseve is lost. This is a big mistake of the sector command. The soldiers were almost surrounded," – "Gross" said.

Recall that the commander of the 128th Brigade – Serhii Shaptala – was awarded the title of the Hero of Ukraine
