Allegedly, before trying to attack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces on May 3, Ukrainian artillery and aviation were actively working, after which mechanized groups went on the attack.
Thus, three YPR-765 armored personnel carriers and several cars were detected from a drone at the junction of the positions of several formations. The ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine came under crossfire from the artillery of the 291st regiment, the 282nd separate rifle battalion and airborne units.
After the first hits of the D-20 howitzers and ATGMs, two tracked armored personnel carriers and two vehicles were destroyed. The remaining troops tried to escape.
The last Ukrainian armored personnel carrier tried to take out the surviving infantrymen, but was destroyed, the report said.
Earlier, the head of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated in the Orekhovsky direction in the Zaporozhye region after an attempt to reconnoiter in force.
