This is why there’s been so much fighting in Slovyansk......Slovyansk is key to all other areas.
Strelkov’s update talks about another ambush. They tagged another convoy northeast of Slovyansk.
He’s been very tight-lipped about claiming opposition losses, but this time he says “a lot of killed and wounded.”
Report of Igor Strelkov
The results of yesterday shelling of Slavyansk by the Ukrainian gunmen: one woman was killed, the other was badly wounded.
The results of our second lying-in-wait on the road Kharkov-Rostov. (Yesterday I have already written that we had burnt one armoured vehicle by the shot from “Mykha”). Today one armoured vehicle was put out of action with the shot from light anti-tank weapon.
(Unfortunately it didn’t burn and was towed), one KAMAZ was burnt the other was destroyed. The enemies lost a lot of killed and wounded. The self-defense forces are free of losses. As a result of the lying-in-wait the rest of the convoy of the Ukrainian army which headed to Slavyansk turned back.
The enemies shelled Cherevkovka a few times at night.
Everything is calm since the morning.
Yesterday the enemies have been shelling our locations. But everything was in vain. Our recon elements had been disturbing the enemies postings in 1 km to the South-East of the town Krasniy Liman. The results are still unknown. We are free of losses.
Ten self-defensers killed at the battle for the town will be buried today.
