The Ukrainian agency UNIAN published a video received from an unmanned vehicle near the city of Debaltsevo in February 2015.

On the footage taken, according to the agency, scouts of the self-proclaimed NDP, there are traces of the explosions of shells and smoking military equipment of Ukrainian siloviki.

Debaltsevo in January-February 2015 became the center of confrontation in the Donbass. Ukrainian security forces were surrounded by militiamen, while Kiev did not recognize this state of affairs. Later, the authorities of Ukraine were forced to declare a "planned withdrawal of parts" from the city and its environs.

Acting head of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic Leonid Pasechnik called the fighting in the Debaltsevo area a turning point in the history of the People's Republic of China. The liberation of the city, he said, united all those who were not indifferent to the fate of Donbass.

The expert of the Center for Military and Political Journalism Boris Rozhin broadcast Sputnik radio that the defeat at Debaltsevo still has its impact on the APU.

"Debaltsevo along with Ilovaisky (battles near Ilovaisky occurred in August-September 2014 - ed.) Were the biggest defeats of the Ukrainian army, and up to now this experience is dominating the Ukrainian military, who are afraid of going into large-scale offensive actions because of the risk of repeating the lesson, received from Debaltsevo ... This is a reminder to Kiev about the consequences of military adventures, which he undertook in attempts to destroy the republic (Donbass), "believes Boris Rozhin.

He also expressed his assumptions about the tactics of the Armed Forces in the Donbass in the near future.

"Kiev has repeatedly indicated that it will make every effort to support the situation of war in the territory of the republics, this will be due to the shelling of the positions of the armies of the People's Republic of Germany and the People's Front, front-line settlements, with the actions of subversive and reconnaissance groups both at the front and in The provocations in the form of local offensive actions at the level of company tactical groups are possible, and there may be attempts to disrupt the normal socio-economic life of the republics by sabotaging infrastructure objects. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that such a scenario will not be realized, and the generals in Kiev know this, "Boris Rozhin believes.
