Information about the large losses of Russian marine infantrymen from the 155th separate brigade during the battles for the village of Pavlovka in the Donetsk region – the “stuffing” of the Ukrainian special services, said Primorye Governor Oleg Kozhemyako. This is reported by Moscow Times.
“We sent this appeal (i.e. marine infantry) to the competent authorities and to the military prosecutor’s office to clarify the situation. It is possible that this is a stuffing from the enemy – Ukrainian special services,” the words of Kozhemyako are given in the telegram channel of the Russian government region.
An appeal to Kozhemyako on behalf of the Marine Corps of the 155th brigade of the Pacific Fleet appeared on social networks the day before. In it, the military complained about “big unjustified losses” during the battles in the Pavlovka area.
“As a result of a carefully planned offensive by the great commanders, we lost about 300 people killed, wounded and missing in 4 days. 50 percent of the equipment was destroyed. This is only our team …” – the appeal says.
According to the commander of the Vostok battalion, the “People’s Police” of the DPR Alexander Khodakovsky, the Russian troops during the attack on Pavlovka “found themselves in the fire bag.” Also, information about the difficult situation of Russian troops in the Pavlovka area was confirmed by the Wargonzo telegram channel. ” Everything is objectively bad in Pavlovka, ”he wrote. According to him,“ extremely depressing news ”comes about the position of the 155th brigade.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not yet commented on the situation with marines in Pavlovka.
