19:48 Posted by military analyst Boris Rozhina (Colonelcassad):

By the evening of February 9 Logvinova situation in the region remains uncertain. Catching the morning of the M-103 in Logvinova VSN suddenly slammed the lid debaltsevskogo boiler (in fact the first time all the offensive). The junta naturally take countermeasures aimed at unlocking the M-103 in Logvinova, which led to protracted fighting, which began in the morning and are still going on. If the day the junta radiated over the countermeasures taken by the well-known optimism, then in the evening message on the other side began to come is not so happy.
That is, in the evening to clear the area of BCH Logvinova troops junta apparently could not and fights out there are still ongoing, which means that the track is still cut. Of course militias will seek to dig in the area Logvinova and surrounding heights, and then throw back from Kalinovki reinforcements, simultaneously attacking processing part of the junta. Junta is very important to take Logvinova and report that the track is unlocked, otherwise tomorrow we can expect mass hysteria about the boiler, which risks to fill up the current bosses APU, for Muzhenko 100% will be assigned guilty.
Guide VSN denied information on entering the center Debaltseve. Fights here as usually go on the outskirts of the city and near the yard. For access to the city center is likely to take an active DRG VSN leaking into the building from the "glands". Basically when you hold Logvinova need in the assault Debaltseve not, simply keep the lid of the boiler, where they remain without supplies grouping APU will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, if not unlocked from the outside.

That's sad about people lost tanks militia under Debaltseve, but completely indifferent attitude to captured T-64BV in Uglegorsk - as if it should be. and to those tanks storage in the basement of a recreation center and a lot more then useful. It turns out that Logvinova column APU, which went on attacking reinforcements Debaltseve tank and BMP militia. those multiple losses, including zamkombata. militias (of concrete built a makeshift roadblock stop).
