According to Euromaodan Press media outlet, this brutal tactic was starkly evident in their latest assault, where over 400 Russian soldiers launched a single-day offensive that ultimately highlighted the limits of numerical superiority against well-prepared and resolute defenders. The Russian goals toward Pokrovsk are centered on capturing the city and establishing a strategic foothold, as the city is a critical urban center, serving as a logistics and transport hub. A Ukrainian servicemember recently stated that Russian forces were redeploying a significant number of troops from Novooleksiivka to break through toward the line of villages of Shevchenko, Dachenske, and Lysivka. While continuing to attack Dachenske and Lysivka, Russian commanders also put a lot of effort into advancing along the railway north of Zhovte to capture the village of Shevchenko. This move would allow them to put the Ukrainian forces defending Dachenske and Lysivka under additional pressure, threatening to collapse the rest of the Ukrainian defense line to the east. If successful, the Russians can also use Shevchenko as a staging ground for their future operations against Pokrovsk, as the village is close to one of the city neighborhoods. To achieve this, Russian forces engaged themselves in a desperate gamble, concentrating their efforts on this direction, launching wave after wave of infantry assaults. According to the Ukrainian fighter from the 24th Battalion, the Ukrainian reconnaissance counted hundreds of assault troops surging toward fortified Ukrainian positions. The aim appeared simple yet devastating: to overwhelm through sheer numbers, leveraging the human wave tactic that has become a hallmark of Russian regional operations. These troops were predominantly foot soldiers, advancing with non-substantial mechanized support due to the heavy losses of armored vehicles in the previous weeks. This even led to one assault captured by Ukrainian drone operators, showing how the Russians were trying to attack using a “Zhiguli” LADA car but failed spectacularly after being struck by a hail of bullets. Despite the scale of the assault, the Ukrainian defenders were well-prepared to hold their ground. They were positioned strategically along the first line of defense and used a combination of entrenched positions, artillery, drones, and minefields to devastating effect. Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn of the Ukrainian armed forces noted that minefields played a crucial role in their defense, destroying a significant portion of the scarce Russian military equipment at the very beginning of the assault. Without armored support, Russian troops advanced across open fields, leaving themselves highly exposed to Ukrainian counterfire. Waves of attackers were cut down before they could even approach the Ukrainian defensive lines, crushing into the well-coordinated and prepared resistance. Despite the Russians sending hundreds of soldiers to breach the frontline, the relentless Ukrainian defenses turned the battlefield into a scene of devastation. http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
