21:02 Assault troopers told on the use of motorized transport in the capture of strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the South Donetsk direction

The servicemen of the "East" group of forces use buggies and dirt bikes to overcome open spaces on the way to enemy strongholds. The high speed of our soldiers prevents the enemy from using attack drones and artillery against them.

Motorized riflemen and tank crews used such tactics in the recent assault on the village of Urozhainoe. They were the first to break through the defense, exhausted the enemy and created conditions for the further advance of the marine units.

18:05 Taken straight from home: former serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forcestold, how he became expendable material for the Ukrainian regime

The mobilization resource in Ukraine is running out, and even those with chronic health problems are recruited to serve. Such units are only good for "meat assaults". That is why there is no fighting spirit in the units. The result is logical: part of the unit dies on the spot, and part voluntarily surrenders.

A similar fate awaited the unit of Sergei Kozhemyako. The former serviceman of the 33rd Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine chose to save his life and does not regret his decision. He says that he was very surprised by how the Russians treated prisoners.

"Nobody beat us, broke our fingers, or mocked us. They gave us food, smoke, and provided medical care to those who needed it. Everything turned out to be completely different, and not like they constantly say on television," the prisoner of war notes.

Having retreated to adjacent Vovchye, Ukrainian formations can roll back further – in the direction of the line Sergeyevka – Zhelannoye – Novozhelannoye.

At the same time, west of Yevgenovka, the Russian Armed Forces leveled the control zone in the fields along the Brodok pond near the Volchya River. And in Novoselovka Pervaya, battles are taking place in the center of the settlement, where Russian fighters advanced along Zelenaya Street on the northern outskirts and drove the enemy from their positions in the forest belt west of the C051807 road leading to Umanskoye.
