Yesterday, Russian forces launched a large-scale assault in southern Ukraine near Pyatykhatky, Stepove, Lobkove, Mala Tokmachka & Mali Shcherbaky with ~320 troops, ~40 armored vehicles, 3 tanks & 10 buggies.

Ukrainian defenders, warned by aerial recon, hit them with drones & artillery. After a 2-hour battle, 29 vehicles and 140 Russians were destroyed. No Ukrainian positions were lost.

Today, the 14th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine "Red Kalyna" repelled a massive assault in the Pokrovsk direction, with over 240 Russians reportedly killed or wounded. Losses include ~96 motorcycles, ~21 armored vehicles, 2 cars, and 2 artillery systems. Another example of increased Russian mechanized attacks across the front line.

Total madness today on the Pokrovsk front — according to preliminary info, up to 150 (!) Russian motorcycles took part in a new assault. Ukraine didn't lose a single position according to Ukrainian military sources.
