#HistoricalFact 🗓 In April 2014, one of the most famous combat units of the LPR - the Prizrak (Ghost) battalion - was formed 🇷🇺 For the first time, the Prizrak militia, numbering only 100-150 people, heroically held the defense against the Ukrainian Armed Forces around the city of Rubezhnoye, after which performed an organized retreat to the south - to the city of Alchevsk (LPR). 💥 After withdrawing to Alchevsk, the battalion took part in successful battles around the settlement of Lomovatka and the city of Pervomaisk. Later, when the battalion was reinforced to the size of a brigade (about 1,800 people), the "ghosts" took part in the battles near the city of Debaltsevo, where they played one of the decisive roles in encircling the Ukrainian militants. ▫️ The founder and most famous commander of Prizrak was Alexei Mozgovoi - one of the bravest field commanders of Donbass, who fought against Ukrainian aggression until his death in an assassination attempt on May 23, 2015. Today the battalion continues to serve in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok
