Ukrainian Armed Forces stop Russia's breakthrough in one of sectors

"In the Novopavlivka sector, Russians tried to break through the defenses of our defenders in the area of Kostiantynopil, Bahatyr, Odradne, and Komar," said the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops.

However, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold back the Russian attack, destroying Russia's superior forces.

Novopavlivka direction

In early March, the Russian army had stepped up its forces in the Novopavlivka sector.

Also, in late February, Russians continued to storm the positions of the Ukrainian military in the Novopavlivka sector. As a result of the assault and fire, some of the Ukrainian positions were destroyed.

In addition, Ukrainian soldiers repelled a Russian offensive in the Novopavlivka sector. Russia's attempt was thwarted, and their equipment was destroyed.

The Russians tried to take advantage of the bad weather to break through the positions of Ukrainian defenders. Russians sent three armored personnel carriers with infantry and a bunch of motorcycles to break through, but it did not help.

"They failed to take the defenders by surprise. The convoy of vehicles was stopped and burned, and the infantry was dealt with later," said the Ukrainian army spokesperson.
