Goggle translate (for speed) of the first communique on the page, with extensive fixes:
The situation in the northern part of the front is heavy. The enemy captured Krasny Liman, after a short battle , providing overwhelming superiority in everything . Local militia suffered heavy losses . Now NationalGuard harasses population there. The fall of Liman - a heavy blow to Slavjansk . We could not help his tiny garrison , as an assault has also started against us.
From 5 am the enemy for several hours fiercely bombed and shelled Semenovka from dozens of different weapons , attack aircraft and helicopters . Actually, shelling continues right now. As a result, there are losses . As they have already been announced , I can name them : 7 killed and 10 wounded.
After that, the enemy attacked Semenovka from the direction of Seleznevka usding tanks and armored personnel carriers and infantry of National Guard . After a long hard battle the enemy was forced to retreat , losing 2 APCs and armored " Humvee " , and 1 T-64 tank (unfortunately , the equipment did not remaine in our territory and is already evacuated ) . Small arms fire was damaged and made Mi-24 helicopter to force-land. (Again, it is rapidly being repaired - can't consider it downed - just temporarily incapacitated ) . Enemy losses in manpower unknown. Given the huge advantage that the enemy has in all kinds of weapons , I believe the success of this fight quite a feat of our militia . It is unfortunate that these feats they have to make using ATR from WWII and saving each cartridge . However, if it goes on like this , and they will soon run out of them . And then we are done in. But we will still defend Slovyansk to the end! Even if nothing and nobody helps .
Our intelligence unit in the Red Lyman also suffering serious losses from the fire from the air, managed to ambush and destroy two motor unit ZU-23 -2 of the enemy.
Krasnolimanskaya company reported a 1 downed SU . I can not yet either confirm or deny that.
Kramatorskaya company destroyed 1 BTR-80 .
On the western side, as a result of attacks by Sloviansk DRG, 1 enemy BMP was destroyed.
In any case , the enemy constantly uses against us planes - 2-3 gunship at a time ( changing the links between them - they work from several airfields ) and 6-7 combat helicopters .
Columns of artillery, infantry and armored vehicles to continue to creep onto Slavic literally from all sides . The correlation of forces of 10 to 1 - it is now " happy past". "Hurricanes" are on the way to our division, while Semenovka was already shelled from "Grad" today. Number of self-propelled howitzers and conventional 122 mm and above are already well over fifty , and I don't even count mortars. The opponent's goal - to close the ring around Sloviansk once and for all .
