Russians made an unusual assault in the Kharkiv sector, using armored vehicles. But the Ukrainian National Guard soldiers still stopped the Russian invaders, according to Ukrainian National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko.
“Russia risked a bold assault in the Kharkiv direction, but it failed. Russians do not often use armored vehicles in this area of the front. This time they moved forward under the cover of armored personnel carriers,” he says.
According to the general, the aerial reconnaissance men of the Ukrainian Spartan brigade responded immediately and stopped the Russian occupants with accurate FPV drone strikes and drops.
