The 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade felt pressure from the Russians along the entire line of combat engagement, repelling a mechanized assault in the Orikhiv direction. The enemy suffered significant losses, and their plan to break through to Mala Tokmachka failed.
The 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade experienced pressure from the Russians, which is observed along the entire line of combat engagement. The enemy recently launched a mechanized assault on the brigade's positions, but their plan failed.
This was reported by Dmytro Pelykh, head of the communications department of the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade, on the telethon, as reported by UNN.
Details
When asked if he felt the summer offensive of the Russians, Pelykh replied: "Our brigade has also already felt this pressure, which is observed along the entire line of combat engagement."
He also spoke about the situation in the Orikhiv direction.
As for the Orikhiv direction, the enemy first began to press on our neighbors and recently also launched a mechanized assault on the positions of the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade with the aim of breaking through and entering the settlement of Mala Tokmachka. We prevented their plan thanks, among other things, to aerial reconnaissance, which noticed this offensive in advance, and then, in cooperation with all units, the enemy was destroyed.
He noted that the occupiers are now recovering after their devastating, failed offensive.
After all, it's no joke that within a few hours they lost a very significant force… Now the enemy acts only exclusively in the dark or gray time of day
