Shirokyne under Ukrainian military control

Today, news spread through the media that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had withdrawn from the settlement of Shirokyne, thereby ceding it to terrorists. However, this information is not true. In fact, only the Donbas battalion left Shirokyne, having gone on rotation, and the Azov battalion has taken its place. Fighting for the town continues daily, but no one is planning to surrender it.

 

“Друзі менше вірте фейковим новинам !! У Широкіно стоїть АЗОВ та Правий Сектор,Донбас з Широкино вийшов. На даний момент усе спокійно. З 10 лютого Широкине не було під повним контролем терористів і не буде, все інше що вчора і поширювалось це брехня !!” (Friends, believe fake news less!! Azov and Right Sector are stationed in Shirokyne, Donbas has left Shirokyne. At the moment, everything is calm. Since 10 February, Shirokyne has not been under full terrorist control and will not be; everything else that was spread yesterday is a lie !!), - reports Andriy Dzyndzia.

 

“Пошёл активный вброс в сети "Укропы сдали Широкино" Вата захлебывается, постит какое-то левое видео, истерит "шо всё пропало". Только что говорила с бойцом из батальона "Азов". Широкино наше, никто не уходит и сдавать ничего не думает. Вата стреляет, связь плохая. Но наши все на месте, держат оборону. Победим!” (An active influx of "Ukrainians surrendered Shirokyne" has started on the internet. The Vata [pro-Russian separatists] are choking, posting some random video, hysterically screaming "what has everything gone". I just spoke with a fighter from the "Azov" battalion. Shirokyne is ours, no one is leaving and no one is thinking of surrendering anything. The Vata is shooting, the connection is poor. But all our guys are in place, holding the defence. We will win!), - wrote Alena Balaba on her Facebook page.
