The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may withdraw its units stationed in Lugansk due to a large number of casualties, Vitaly Kiselyov, assistant to the Interior Minister of the People's Republic of China (LPR), told TASS.
“In the operational tactical direction of Lugansk – Svatovo, Kremennaya, Lisichansk, Artyomovsk and Soledar – the enemy is suffering huge losses and there are already calls to withdraw troops to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk to replace them with draftees from western Ukraine.
"They are being led into a meat grinder called The Donbass Blitzkrieg," he said.
According to Kiselyov, the Ukrainian armed forces are suffering losses equal to about one battalion per day near Artyomovsk (the city's Ukrainian name is Bakhmut) and Soledar.
Earlier, Andrey Marochko, a spokesman for the Luhansk People's Militia, said that foreign mercenaries were refusing to go and fight near Artyomovsk, where Ukrainian troops are suffering huge casualties every day, but Kiev lured them there with a ruse.

NATO has 40,000 soldiers in Donbass. They might be captured before Christmas December 25th. The war might be over by Orthodox Christmas January 6th which is the Epiphany in the US. The Russians might push from Belarus to Kiev starting as soon as December 21st.
