There was a battle 3 days ago in a forest zone near the village of #Dolgonkoye. A detachment of a #Russia|n forces’ reconnaissance battalion emerged in view of a reinforced position of #Ukraine|ian troops.

Two MT-LBs of the reckon team were hit with ATGMs, and gunfire was opened from 30-40 metres on the soldiers when they “dismounted.” The #Russia|n reckon team found cover and started firing back.

Almost all were wounded, and on withdrawal, one of the soldiers got hit with a bullet in the heart, but continued firing back for another five minutes, providing cover to his retreating comrades.

He managed to utter: “Go on, guys, I am fucked,” and continued providing cover for his brothers in the last minutes of his life. As a result of the clash, the reckon team lost two, almost all were wounded, and their vehicles were hit.

But not only did they manage to make it to their own lines, but one of the reckon team stayed with the bodies of his comrades, & waited all night until he was picked up by a rescue crew. A true act of heroism, worthy of the highest military honour.

As for the #Ukraine|ian fighters, they once again left their dead in place and left. An ideal situation, which saw them catch our reckon team unawares, turned for the #Ukrainian forces into a defeat.

On the whole, it seems that the #Ukraine|ian army in our theatre of the campaign is breaking. They leave behind their corpses; the #UA prisoners arrive in bulk. Haggard, exhausted, terrified, with doom in their eyes and anger at their commanders.

A huge difference from the photographs on their cellphones, where they strike macho poses before coming to the front.
