On the morning of December 10, the Russians advanced in a large column from the occupied Vodyane in the direction of Severne, a village near Avdiivka, which they are trying to capture. Having left with 14 units of armored vehicles, the occupying forces tried to seize Ukrainian positions and advance to Avdiivka from the south. It was one of the largest attempts in the last two months. It was two months ago - on October 10 - that the Russians launched the biggest offensive on Avdiivka during the entire nine years of the war.
hromadske journalists watched as the soldiers of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Volodymyr Monomakh repulsed the assault and tried to stop the Russians.
"They crawled a lot today", says tank battalion commander Tymofiy, who leads the unit. In his memory, this is the fifth largest assault since his brigade has been in these positions.
In the end, the assault is repulsed: the landings, which the Russians tried to capture, are littered with their bodies, a few surrender, the rest retreat.
But despite the loss and unsuccessful assaults, the Russians will continue their attempts to capture Avdiivka.
