What is known
Bohdan Korzhenko noted that his unit was tasked with carrying out a mechanized offensive on certain sections of the front in order to prevent the enemy from advancing in that area.
According to him, the reconnaissance units of the assault battalion carried out covert movement, logistics, and control of logistical points for the penetration of Ukrainian mechanized equipment. Certain means of cover were also implemented so that our equipment could enter, due to which the equipment successfully entered certain territories and forest areas. In addition, fire control of these forest areas was carried out; there was constant pressure and attack on the enemy.
Thus, thanks to the coordinated actions of the battalion’s fighters, this offensive was successful.
“The enemy tried to throw all available forces at the assault groups of the 1st assault battalion to recapture these areas. He reached such an extreme point that he was already forced to send his UAV operators with three magazines on the offensive against our trained assault infantry groups,” said Bohdan Korzhenko.
The commander of the 1st assault battalion explained that the enemy suffered huge losses in management, as headquarters, command posts, firing positions with mortars, UAVs, communications, electronic warfare systems, and other facilities and equipment were captured.
Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that in Russia, Z-bloggers panicked because of Operation Vivaldi, which is being conducted by the Defense Forces in the Lyman direction.
The successes achieved by Ukrainian soldiers are disrupting Russia’s plans to capture Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. The Russian troops were not only not advancing, but were also losing territory.
Destroying the enemy’s headquarters and command posts is always a good thing. Capturing them is far better.
