Russian troops are actively accumulating manpower and equipment at remote positions in the Donetsk region, preparing for a large-scale assault. This was announced by the head of intelligence of the anti-aircraft missile and artillery division of the "Rubizh" brigade, Danylo Borysenko, on the air of the "Kyiv24" channel. According to him, the enemy is currently using the tactics of small groups, trying to gain a foothold on the approaches to Ukrainian positions.
"We all expect a massive assault, but for now it's a small-group tactic. They try to infiltrate the landings and establish themselves in small groups of 2 to 5 people," Borysenko said.
Against the background of the enemy's tactical maneuvers, an important role in deterring attacks is played by FPV drones, which the Ukrainian military uses to destroy the enemy even on the approaches to advanced positions. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the risks for the Ukrainian infantry and provides better protection of the front.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, active resistance to Russian forces continues in the Kurakhiv direction. In the last day, 47 combat clashes took place here. The most intensive attempts of the enemy to advance are observed near the settlements of Illinka, Novoselidivka, Voznesenka, Novodmytrivka, Dalnye and Antonivka. Despite the increased pressure, the Ukrainian defenders firmly hold the defense and stop the advance of the enemy.
In addition to hostilities, the situation in the region is complicated by the actions of the Russian army, which recently destroyed the Ternov dam of the Kurakhiv reservoir. The destruction of this hydraulic structure could lead to water supply problems and cause additional humanitarian challenges for local residents.
