Ukrainian Defense Forces stop powerful Russian assault near Avdiivka

At night, border guards and soldiers of one of the mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled a large-scale attack by the superior forces of the Russian occupiers on our position near Avdiivka (north of occupied Donetsk).

At the same time, Ukrainian artillery destroyed two tanks, an armored combat vehicle, and an armored personnel carrier of the invaders on the approach to our position.

However, their troops proved undaunted and continued their assault on foot without the support of armored vehicles. Perhaps the invaders relied on the support of their artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles, which dropped grenades with irritant chemical aerosols on our defenders.
