Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the 3rd separate assault brigade, commented on the current situation at the front.
‘I do not think that the Russians will be able to capture Kharkiv. But most likely, the capture of the city is not currently the goal of the Russian Federation. There will be an increase in pressure – we can see it from the intelligence data. But it is still more likely they have a task to stretch our resources, weaken forces in other directions and reduce our reserves,’ Zhorin said.
According to him, Russia is also gathering forces in the Sumy direction.
‘In general, the situation at the front is quite difficult, and it will definitely not be easier in the near future – on the contrary, a difficult summer with difficult battles is ahead,’ the officer concluded.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
