🪖 Assault detachments had to act in conditions of resistance from the well-prepared enemy using all available means to hold positions.
🔥 During the combat, a large number of the enemy armoured hardware was destroyed, as well as small groups of Ukrainian troops, which took positions in basements of destroyed houses. The gunfights continued for several days. Despite desperate attempts to hold positions, the enemy was forced to withdraw and suffered heavy losses.

🏳️ Captured Ukrainian serviceman: ‘We are expendable. Nobody cares for us.’
Captured AFU serviceman Yuri Tatarenko told that Ukrainian command regards its personnel expendable:
‘Many times I heard reports over the radio that someone got shelled and they need evacuation and withdrawal. The command says: ‘Hold on, hold on. We will drop shovels now, repair the dugout’. They say: ‘Shovels? There is nothing to repair here.’
