Exclusive footage of intensive combat work by stormtroopers of the Artan special forces unit of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in Stepnohirsk on the Zaporizhia Front.

During the operation, which took place in close coordination with adjacent units, military intelligence special forces conducted a series of active offensive actions to oust the Russian occupiers from the city and stabilize the situation in the settlement.

The equipment on which the GUR special forces groups were driving to storm the invaders’ positions was attempted to be attacked by an enemy FPV “Zhdun”, but was destroyed in cold blood.

As a result of fighting in difficult urban conditions, the Russian occupying forces were knocked out of fortified positions, and key locations in Stepnohirsk came under the control of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine.

The fighting continues!

Glory to Ukraine!
