My colleagues who are engaged in the humanitarian operations visited Logvinovo lately and managed to take pictures of its outskirts, where there was fierce fighting in which the attempts of unblocking the Debalcevo group choked. They got to Logvinovo using the armor provided by the DPR military stationed in this area. Effectively, the Logvinovo proper is pretty much destroyed, it must be rebuilt essentially from scratch. The major part of destruction happened during the fighting of February 9-10 and also on the subsequent fire of the junta artillery and MLRS.
The commander of a tank unit that covered Logvinovo.
