Report on the current situation in Svatovo
from @Cmiye (BlueBeard):

About 70 percent of the population has left the town. There is no panic, but the remaining people are very tense. They categorically refuse to talk on camera and are openly afraid to show their faces because of the uncertainty of tomorrow. But, judging by their accounts, the locals have decided not to ignore the evacuation recommendations.

The road to Starobelsk is under our control and absolutely safe. We also control the road to Kremenna, but there is still a danger of shelling, and the military did not recommend driving on it using non-armoured vehicles.

All is quiet as far as the shelling of the city is concerned, there is no shelling yet, not even the distant sounds of artillery fire can be heard.

I managed to communicate with soldiers from the 201st base who were transferred to the conflict zone from Tajikistan. They recently withdrew from Borovskoye. According to them, the enemy is now 20 km away from Svatovo. At the moment, withdrawn and incoming forces, including those called up for mobilization, are gathering in the Kremenna-Starobelsk-Svatovo triangle.

According to their commanders, in the next few days, they will start to strike with large caliber artillery at the accumulations of Ukrainian troops and then our offensive will follow.

I emphasize in red that this information was reported by the fighters and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the information. The fighters describe the withdrawal as tactical in principle.

I will post the video interview with the fighter a little later, but unfortunately, the sound did not turn as well as it could have.
