Russian troops are holding positions against the attacks of the 77th Air Assault Brigade


On the front line near Borova in the Kharkiv region, Russian troops do not retreat in their attempts to break through the defenses of the Ukrainian 77th Air Assault Brigade. The relentless enemy attacks the positions of Ukrainian defenders daily, causing damage to logistical routes.



Victor Petrovich, a serviceman of the 77th Brigade, shared about the difficult situation at the front, where Russian assault groups are trying to push forward, using vegetation for cover and movement. Although under pressure, Ukrainian fighters continue to hold the defense at their positions.



'The enemy is not destroyed and tries to advance every day,' emphasized the military.


The main blow is dealt by Russians to the rear infrastructure, using drones to locate Ukrainian positions. However, the greatest threat is logistics, which is complicated by geographical conditions.


The defender explained: narrow geography complicates logistics, especially when the enemy controls crossings over the river. Therefore, maintaining defense in this area is particularly challenging.



The defenders continue to hold the line on the front, suffering greatly against the constant attacks of Russian troops. Logistics and geographical conditions complicate the ability of Ukrainian defenders to maintain their positions, but they desperately continue their fight.
