The military is conducting an official investigation into the operation of the 425th regiment in the Hryshyne area. The command urges to refrain from making assessments due to the risk to combat operations.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are studying the actions of a unit that carried out active operations using armored vehicles in the Pokrovsk direction, specifically in the area of Hryshyne. This is reported by UNN with reference to the 7th Corps of the Air Assault Forces.
Details
On March 31, taking advantage of unfavorable weather conditions, a neighboring unit of the 425th separate assault regiment "Skelya" conducted active operations to develop an offensive using armored vehicles in the area of Hryshyne.
A service investigation is currently underway, and the aforementioned actions are being studied and investigated by higher military command, the corps stated.
We ask you to refrain from disclosing unprofessional assessments. They can negatively affect the further course of hostilities in the Pokrovsk agglomeration.
Context
On April 1, Serhiy Sternenko, an advisor to the Minister of Defense and a well-known blogger, published a post on social media with screenshots of videos of damaged equipment. He stated that these were "remains of equipment of the 425th 'Skelya' regiment near Pokrovsk, which was destroyed by Russian occupiers."
The 425th separate assault regiment "Skelya" stated that Sternenko's information was untrue, as "he drew conclusions from Russian sources that deliberately compiled data on damage on different days in different sectors of the front and which are not directly related to the operation on March 31."
Recall
Over the past day, April 1, 146 combat engagements took place at the front. The enemy launched 75 air strikes and dropped 257 guided aerial bombs.
