The Ukrainian military "dragged" Russian troops into a trap in Severodonetsk. The enemy suffers losses and receives hard counterattacks.

Aleksey Arestovich, the adviser to the head of the President's Office, said this on his Facebook page.

"I recently spoke here about the enemy's increased operational and tactical skills - the Russian troops. And now - watch your hands. We dragged the Russian troops into a trap in Severodonetsk, pretending to" surrender "the city," he wrote.

According to Arestovich, now the Russian command is in shock. The Russians reported about the “capture” of Severodonetsk, and now they have received a tough counterattack from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "The defenders of Ukraine are now liquidating Moscow comrades," the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office noted, even though the occupiers have superiority in aviation and artillery.

"Our troops show incredible courage, and the commanders are tactical talents. There are in a very tough battle. The Russian command is now throwing all available forces to hold (note, not to capture - to hold!) Severodonetsk. Ours are now tearing the enemy like lions, despite his fire superiority," Arestovich added.

He also recalled that the Ukrainian military had already captured the occupiers, as previously reported by the head of the Luhansk OMA Serhiy Gaidai.

"The battle is not over, our defenders will continue to "tear" the enemy and show real skill, which the enemy envies."
