Frontline situation
The Russian army tried to carry out assaults under the cover of fog on March 17–18 in the most critical directions of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. But Ukrainian forces keep pushing them back. In total, 900 troops were killed and wounded in a day and a half, using drones alone.
Ukrainian forces repelled a massive Russian assault west of Pokrovsk. Russian troops intended to break through along the E-50 highway (Pokrovsk–Pavlohrad) toward Kotlyne. They used 14 motorcycles and two Niva vehicles.
Moreover, long-range drones of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces hit the base of the secret Russian drone technology center Rubicon in occupied Donetsk. A video has appeared online.
