The Russians are utilizing the tactic of infiltration. Which means a sure variety of Russian small teams continuously put strain on Ukrainian positions and attempt to bypass the primary line… and transcend the primary line of Ukrainian positions…
Once they [the Russians – ed.] go additional, they’re already attempting to combat with Ukrainian digital warfare techniques or Ukrainian drones, or simply attempting to collect someplace.
We have to perceive that these are small teams of a number of folks.

However you need to perceive that it's not about taking management of this territory. We’re speaking a few small group of Russians, about 5 to 10 folks, who acquired there. And that is completely not what it seems like on the map. It's not like they took management of the whole route they coated. No, they made their method and tried to cover in a single basement someplace.
In fact, reserves have been despatched there to knock them out and kill them."
