The Serebryansky Forest, in Ukraine's Luhansk region, has been devastated by fighting, footage published by Kyiv has shown.
Russian forces have retreated from positions in a contested forest in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk region, Kyiv's military has said, as heavy fighting blazes on further south in the war-torn country.Lieutenant Colonel Sviatoslav Palamar, the deputy commander of Ukraine's Azov Brigade, said on Saturday that the brigade's fighters had pushed Russian forces out of several positions in the Serebryansky Forest, close to the Moscow-controlled Luhansk city of Kreminna.
State Department reversed a decision made back in 2014 to stop the Ukrainian brigade receiving American weapons, a move Azov's commander hailed as key to the unit's 'effectiveness.' The Azov Brigade rose out of the volunteer Azov Battalion, with its roots in far-right and ultranationalist ideology. The fighters were on the front lines fighting pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine from 2014; the battalion's founders were accused of having neo-Nazi sentiments.
