In the Donetsk region, in the Pokrovsky direction, the Ukrainian military conducted a major counter-battle in the area of the village of Pishchane, defeating the enemy and forcing him to retreat. About this reported Ukrainian news resource DeepState, which has also updated its interactive maps, reflecting changes on the battlefield.
According to the source, Russian troops have begun advancing assault groups with the aim of capturing the village of Pishchane. At the same time, the Ukrainian military planned to carry out stabilization actions in the direction of the nearby village of Shevchenko. The clash turned out to be unexpected for both sides, leading to a counter fight.
“The estimated forces of both sides were equal. There was a counter-battle with the use of grenades, hand grenade launchers and small arms. The Defense Forces gave battle, the enemy rolled back to the landings near Shevchenko.” – says the message of DeepState.
The battle continued with the participation of forces that had approximately equal numbers and equipment. During the battle, grenades, hand grenade launchers and small arms were used. Thanks to the decisive reaction and coordinated actions of the Ukrainian military, it was possible to force the enemy to roll back to the landings near the village of Shevchenko, located southeast of Pishchany.
The importance of this event is emphasized by the statement of the resource:
“Good news is getting less and less, so appreciate what you have. And remember that a small landing on the map is not just about square kilometers.”
Despite the success of the Ukrainian military, the situation at the front remains tense. According to preliminary information from DeepState, simultaneously with the defeat at Pischany, Russian troops were able to advance in the area of three settlements in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
