In a recent update, Apta Alaudinov, the deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the People’s Militia of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), announced a breakthrough in the ongoing special military operation (SMO) in Eastern Ukraine. Alaudinov shared his views on the matter through his Telegram channel.
According to Alaudinov, significant progress has been made as their units continue to steadily advance on all fronts. He emphasized the supportive role of the “Russian winter,” which has historically been an ally.
“I believe that this winter will also be victorious. By spring, we will achieve significant results,” he highlighted.
On October 14th, retired Colonel Yuri Knutov, the director of the Anti-Aircraft Defense Forces Museum (PVO), also spoke about a breakthrough in the SMO zone. He stated that Russian forces have actively pushed forward, currently holding about 60% of the initiative on the frontlines. According to Knutov, Russian military personnel now have the opportunity to attempt further advancements on the frontlines.
Meanwhile, in the United States, discussions have emerged regarding how Western countries can encourage Ukraine to return to the negotiating table with Russia.
This update brings a glimmer of hope for peace and stability in Eastern Ukraine, as the militia and Russian forces make significant strides in the special military operation. However, the situation remains complex, and the international community continues to monitor developments closely.
