We press them hard, and they try to regroup. Ours settle down in the Butovka mine area. 75% n.p. Peski are behind us. We went to Avdievka. We press.

I do not rule out that we will take Avdievka into the ring. In recent days, the wounded have gone, mostly shrapnel and shell shock. Normal personal protective equipment is required. Okay, worn trunks, that's not so bad. There are no normal helmets, there are also Soviet “bowler hats” and incredibly heavy non-Kevlar “armor”: that is, a rag and metal plates.
