Signs of a new Ukrainian counteroffensive on the eastern front are on the horizon, Ukrainian soldiers serving in that area told AFP today.

This front has remained stagnant for a month, after the liberation, in early October, of the axis Kharkiv-Izium-Liman.

“The trend is good from our side, the front line has advanced quickly and well” this week, said a Ukrainian special forces officer from the village of Zaryshne. “We are concentrating on the Svatove-Kremina road axis to cut off the Russian supply line” to occupied Lisitsanskcontinued the officer, who asked not to be named.

The city Saturday, which Moscow seized on March 6, is considered “key” to the logistical support of the Russian military in this occupied region of Luhansk. Ukrainian forces are moving up from the south, mainly on an axis parallel to the Svatove-Kremina highway and the road through Nefske.

“In his direction Nefskeour army is advancing very well, towards Kremina the situation is more complicated due to the daily shelling,” said this officer.

“We will not talk about specific communities, the army general staff will do that, but we can say that the Svatove-Kremina highway is essentially under the control of Ukrainian forces,” Luhansk Governor Serhiy Gaidai said last Friday , speaking on Ukrainian public television.
