Today, there are a lot of developments in the direction of Svatove.
Here, Russians built up a large strike force to launch a new offensive in the east but were completely undermined by the famous Ukrainian 3rd assault brigade.
The main Russian goal in this direction is to retake control over the Luhansk region, one of the primary initial goals of the Russian invasion. To achieve this, Russians tried to launch an offensive last year to take the Ukrainian town of Borova and reach the Oskil River. The wide river forms an impenetrable natural obstacle, which would help Russians solidify their control over the Luhansk region. During their offensive last year, Russians were able to cross the smaller Zherebets River and create a narrow bridgehead. Ukrainians were initially able to halt the Russian advance and slightly push Russians back due to reinforcements quickly arriving in the area but were unable to fully eliminate the bridgehead. The main reason for this was a shortage in equipment and artillery ammunition, as US military aid was being held up in Congress. Now, Russians are trying to use what remains of their bridgehead as a platform to launch a second attempt to take Borova.
Ukrainian military analysts reported that Russians were building up a large force of approximately 10 thousand personnel and 450 pieces of military equipment, including 250 various artillery systems. Russians also moved several mercenary groups in this direction to reinforce their offensive potential. The analysts noted that the presence of these mercenary groups, mainly used for assault rather than defensive actions, indicated the Russian intent to try a second attempt at taking Borova.
Russians also launched a strategic attack on Ukrainian logistics, targeting a Ukrainian hydroelectric dam with an Iskander missile. This dam also functioned as a bridge over the Oskil River that Ukrainians used to supply their forces to the east, meaning the strike effectively weakened Ukrainian logistics. However, as the dam was built to withstand large quantities of water, it was structurally sound, and despite being heavily damaged by the strike, it was not beyond repair, as Ukrainians soon demonstrated.
In general, it was clear that Russians were planning a massive offensive, and Ukrainians could not passively sit in wait for Russians to build up their strength. Because of this, the Ukrainian high command moved in the well-known 3rd assault brigade to reinforce the region and take up an active posture to undermine Russian preparations and cripple the offensive before it even started.
The third assault brigade, after arriving in the region, immediately launched constant FPV drone strikes as Russians were gathering their forces. Their drone operators targeted Russian positions, vehicles, infantry, stockpiles, and warehouses with FPV kamikaze drones and drone-dropped grenades. It’s important to note that the brigade shared new video compilations of these strikes nearly every day. As every video showed the destruction of dozens of Russian soldiers and equipment, it’s impossible to understate the effectiveness of the Ukrainian strikes and the immense damage they did to Russian preparations. If you want to get access to the original uncensored combat footage of the Ukrainian strikes, you can find it on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.
To compensate for their heavy losses to Ukrainian drone strikes, Russians were forced to move extra forces to the area. Simultaneously, Russians started launching probing attacks on Ukrainian positions along the bridgehead. Oleksandr Borodin, spokesperson of the 3rd assault brigade, stated that Russians were conducting near-constant small infantry assaults in their direction and, occasionally, even using tear gas on Ukrainian trenches. The Zherebets River also complicates reinforcing these probing attacks with armored support, causing the Russian infantry to mainly keep to the tree lines during their assaults.
The 3rd assault brigade also shared a multitude of footage of them repelling these assaults, fighting off and destroying the Russian infantry with drones, small arms fire, and grenades. One video shows how a Ukrainian soldier repelled a Russian attack but got wounded by an explosion in the process. The footage then switches to another Ukrainian soldier as she bravely makes her way to the wounded man through...
