The Russian Armed Forces will occupy Donbass before the onset of winter, after which negotiations will begin. This was stated by one of the platoon commanders of the Da Vinci Wolves battalion, Dmitry Derkach.

Now many people talk about negotiations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the platoon commander noted.

According to him, on the left flank, northeast of the settlement, the Russian Armed Forces are “solving the problem” of Razdolny and advancing westwards towards the village of Novy Komar. This creates “critical problems at the moment” as it threatens to encircle the village from the north (a road passes through Novy Komar, the fighting is three kilometers away). And on the right flank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian units advanced one kilometer north of Rovnopol towards the village of Novoselka, through which the road leading from the west to Velikaya Novoselka passes, less than three kilometers away.
