New Russian tactics in Donbas: bait and airstrikes
Ukrainian forces in Donbas are having a tough time due to the new tactics of Russian troops. Russia uses its own soldiers as bait to uncover enemy positions, as well as conducting massive airstrikes and utilizing drones, reports The Times citing the portal 'Glavkom'.
In Donbas, a captured Russian soldier recounted how he and others are sent as bait, leading to losses. Another soldier from a Russian regiment spoke about his long prison sentence, urging to avoid further losses on the frontline.
By using bait, Russian forces create fire pressure on Ukrainian defenders and intensify military operations, complicating the situation on the frontline.
The General Staff of Ukraine confirms successful operations of the Defense Forces and significant victories in various directions of the frontline, but the country remains in a difficult situation due to mobilization issues and troop exhaustion.
Ukrainian forces in Donbas are dealing with new methods of Russian troops that complicate defensive actions. Russian forces use soldiers as bait, and the activity of airstrikes and drones is increasing, requiring maximum vigilance and readiness from Ukrainian defenders to respond to new threats.
