Ukrainian units have been spreading disinformation within the Russian Armed Forces 2nd Army Corps’ area of engagement about a potential offensive using various radio frequencies, a military expert from the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), Lt. Col. (Ret.) Andrey Marochko, told TASS on Tuesday.

According to Marochko, the Ukrainian troops have been trying to deceive Russian reconnaissance units in the 2nd Army Corps’ area of engagement.

"Ukrainian fighters have recently been sending false signals about an impending offensive or strikes allegedly being planned on unconfirmed targets. These so-called ‘radio games’ play out two to three times a day," he added.

Ukrainian army’s losses increase by 30% in Krasny Liman area, says LPR officer

The Ukrainian army’s casualties in the Krasny Liman area have increased by about a third recently, Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) people’s militia Lieutenant-Colonel Andrey Marochko said on Tuesday.

"The losses of Ukrainian militants have increased by about 30% lately, according to various estimates," the retired LPR officer said in a live broadcast on Russia’s TV Channel One.

A video of the likely death of a mercenary from Britain in the Donbass came into the possession of RIA Novosti.

The recording was made on the action camera of a Ukrainian soldier who later died.

Marochko told TASS earlier on Tuesday that the Ukrainian military experienced a shortage of munitions and problems with the evacuation of its wounded soldiers in the Krasny Liman direction due to the successful advance by Russian troops in that frontline area.
