“As for Lugansk, it needs to say that it was a possibility. We had to strengthen in Kambrode, which was the dominant point over the city. Unfortunately, the negative role played in the events under Ilovaiskaya. Again, in such matters as war, required precise coordination and professionalism. In 2014 there were many factors that we are more hindrance than help.” he said.
