That is, we didn't enter the active phase of the battle with them. When they were leaving Dmytrivka, there was already an active phase of the battle, "Titan explains.
According to intelligence, the occupiers had 21 units of heavy equipment, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks. 8 tanks, infantry of the Armed Forces, and a group of special forces the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine came from our side.
