I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-ninety-third day of the war.
Day 793: Apr 26
Today, there are a lot of developments in the Avdiivka direction.
Here, Russians are attempting to outflank the Ukrainian defenses to the north, while Ukrainians launched countermeasures to undermine the Russian offensive.
On the northern flank of Avdiivka, Russians are simultaneously attempting to advance towards the west and to the north. The long-term strategic goal of Russians to the North is to advance toward the Ukrainian city of Kostyantynivka, linking up with their offensive operation near Chasiv-Yar. The main idea of this operation is to take the Ukrainian forces in New York and Toretsk into a pocket.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that in attacking Kostyantynivka from the south, the Russians must first take control over several hill ridges, all of which are under Ukrainian control. The eastmost hills are the first important step for Russians to take, as they allow Ukrainians to make constant flanking attacks on any possible Russian offensive north. As such, Ukrainians have established multiple strong fortifications on the heights and in multiple settlements around New York. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russians have been unable to break through these Ukrainian defenses. Therefore, Russians are attempting to bypass these fortifications by outflanking Ukrainians from the West.
But before Russians attempt such a large-scale flanking operation, they must first take control of the Ukrainian settlement of Novokalynove. Novokalynove is of high tactical and operational value for both the Russians and Ukrainians, as it is situated at the source of the Kalynivka River, linking the two heights together. As such, it severely threatens the Russian spearhead north by forcing the Russians to allocate forces to defend themselves from possible Ukrainian counterattacks.
During the preparation stages of the Russian spearhead towards Ocheretyne, Russian forces also used artillery and FAB-500 glide bombs to bomb Ukrainian positions in Novokalynove. Ukrainians responded by performing counter-battery operations with artillery and FPV-kamikaze drones. A video released by the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade shows the destruction of 2 Russian D-30 howitzers. Another video released by the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade shows them engaging and destroying 3 Russian MSTA-S self-propelled guns and a Grad-21 multiple rocket launcher system. Further released geolocated footage also shows Ukrainians intercepting one Russian T-90M tank on its way to resupply after an indirect fire mission. This shows the effect of Ukrainian counterbattery operations, as Russians were forced to use their tanks as artillery guns to compensate for their destroyed artillery.
After intense Russian artillery barrages and air strikes, Russian forces launched multiple waves of attacks on the settlement. Ukrainian sources reported that Russians had infiltrated the settlement with groups of 5 to 6 soldiers at a time to delay detection and provide a smaller target for Ukrainian artillery. Through this, Russians managed to quickly take control of the dairy farm and advance along multiple tree lines around the settlement. Geolocated footage shows that the fighting here was very intense. One video shows Ukrainian cluster munitions hitting Russian assault groups in the forest while simultaneously, Russian FAB glide bombs hit Ukrainian positions further down the line.
To stop the Russian advance, Ukrainian forces quickly performed counterattacks on the Russian assault groups and started destroying them with FPV kamikaze drones. Ukrainian drone operators shared geolocated footage of them engaging Russian assault groups in the dairy farm, as well as occupied houses on the outskirts of the settlement. Ukrainian soldiers of the 47th mechanized brigade also shared footage of counterattacks with Bradley infantry fighting vehicles east of the settlement. The video shows how the Ukrainian Bradley first drives up to the Russian positions in the tree line. The Bradley then lays down suppressive fire while a Ukrainian assault group dismounts, makes their way into the trenches, and clears out the Russian attackers. Ukrainian fighters also shared footage of another counterattack south of the settlement. Here, Ukrainians used a tank and a Western armored vehicle to drop off and support another assault on Russian infantry in the tree lines.
Ukrainians realized that Russians would continue to execute these costly pure-infantry attacks on the settlement, no matter the cost.

Any word on what happened with the unit that disappeared the 115th???
Where is the AZOV battalion?
@@kskeel1124 azov was mostly reformed into the 3rd assault brigade - who have been fighting relentlessly across ukraine, in every one of the worst battles. probably the single most effective infantry unit that exists on the planet right now.
thanks so much for your coverage btw RFU, you are the only 'reporting' channel I trust to report on battlefield action.
@DomWood
I agree. So many other channels are just clickbait. They just recycle videos and reports of things that happened days and weeks ago.
The Ukrainians are following a wise strategy. I've read that tactics are for amateurs. Logistics are for professionals. The Russians have to get their men and equipment to the front in order to fight. Their logistical supply lines are the weak point. That's where they must be hit hardest.

LOL. If you went on this guys video titles Ukraine would have been in Moscow last year. It's stupidly biased in favour of Ukraine.
@@nail3rtrue
@@nail3r I suppose we could always trust the Russian view point.
Ukraine is entirely run by Jewish Nazi Satan worshipping Islamic fundamentalists.
50 of the 24 HIMARS systems have been destroyed by the Russian armed forces.
Not forgetting how Russia would be taking control of the whole of Ukraine within 10 days following the fall of Kyiv.
Reporting from Ukraine.... now it may be a bit of a shock for you..... reports on the current situation.
I suppose he could have behaved like Russian reporters who would suggest Russia has still only lost some 6000 troops since the start of this conflict... which begs the question... if the losses are so small, then why does Russia need to keep sending troops to Ukraine?
@@nail3r thats why we watch the videos Ivan. The title is for the alg.
Russian propagandists are saying they are already in Paris, but reality after 10 years is the fact that Russia has only advanced to a dairy farm. _Lol!_

In the most recent videos Shoigu looks depressed and devastated.
It's his honest assessment of the situation.
Body language never lies.
maybe it has to do with his deputy going to jail?
@@kevinmullner4280 Maybe.
I personally think that his deputy had the job to manipulate the US Republican party not to send support for Ukraine.
And as he failed he got punished.
But this is just my theory.
thought he always looked that way. guy is such a useless idiot

"Yes, your husband was a good soldier, he helped occupy... a dairy farm."
"Oh." (awkward silence) "Well, at least it's something."
(longer, more awkward silence) "Um, yeah... turns out though, the enemy retook it later the same day."
the sad reality is, that most russian deaths will not be reported back to their families.
they KNOW that their husbands, sons and brothers have died because they lose all contact, but lacking official confirmation prevents them from collecting the benefits they desperatly need.
but the field commanders cant be botehred indentifying all the corpses, nor reporting them as likely KiA, because , hey, as long as they are not 'dead' your unit stil gets combat pay for those soldiers. corruption thrives, while ordinary people pay the price.
in some sense, i feel pity for the russian civilians. stuck in an authoritarian regime that increasingly puts your needs at the very bottom of its agenda
Yeah... except it's 20% of what used to be Ukraine.
@@arnesieper8332 maybe one of the reasons they won't stop and desist?😮
@@arnesieper8332 They had their shot at liberty in the 90's just like all the other former Soviet Republics but they failed to hold on to it like Ukraine and Poland and the Baltic States and nearly a dozen others who became free and stayed free
Frankly I stopped feeling sorry for them, they have no one but their selves to blame
@@conclaveluminis It still IS Ukraine.
Currently occupied by Russian barbarians.
This will change and they will be removed.
Still annoys me that most Rus gains were because of a lack of artillery shells that were pledged but not given on time
You can always head on over yourself.
I wouldn't be overly concerned with the Russian advances. Firstly because they were brought into check at great cost to the Russians, which is a major blow to the Russian war machine at home. Secondly because Ukraine has little ability to push the Russians back. This is a war of attrition and Ukraine don't have to outlast Russia, just Putin.
@@gnorweb7339 No, After Putin there will be another dictator that continues the war, maybe worse than Putin. 70% of the Russian people back him so this will continue for as long as Russia has resources to fight. There should be concerted effort to strike on Russian factories and resource production, everything that builds stuff for the frontline. And I highlight that CONCERTED part. So far we are just giving Ukraine stuff and they do what they want with it, and it's not working. United they stand, divided we fall...
Ukros are losing, cry more
Americans don't realize how close russians are to New York.
The real problem could be debated, but it can't be, using this plattform, it is simple to deeply contriversal.
Correct. Many Senior Democrats could easily be placed in Moscow and not be out of place. Probably welcomed as comrades.
@saintsone7877 remind me, which party prevented the Ukraine aid bill from coming to the floor for 6 months? And is presently attempting to undermine American democracy?
Sure as heck ain't the left leaning ones.

The trolls in this thread pointing out this channel's "Ukraine bias" are hysterical... There's no need to be, or pretend to be, neutral to give accurate and honest reports and competent, well-delivered analysis, which is what this man does. Tbh when people claim to be neutral - about genocide - I don't bother with them.
Yes, true, but Ukraine has to learn how to defend itself, how to organize, equip, train and finance a military, how to secure its borders and how to run a corruption-free government. It's alot to do, but this war is speeding all of that learning curve up (on the bright side). Hopefully, they don't run out of Ukrainians before that happens.
@@1midnightfish There is no proof that Russia is commiting genocide, wellni haven't heard of it meanwhile the Ukraine have been murder Russians for a decade
@@zipperpillowdo you fall asleep in the last two years?
@@Folgeantrag There are no short-cuts to either founding a country or keeping one. You don't get one just because you want one. Ask Tibet, ask the Kurds, ask the American Indians, ask Poland, ask the Prussians, ask the Inca, all peoples who lost their countries. The great thing about winning your own country, is that afterwards, it's yours.....for awhile. You can rest/sleep after you get there. You can't keep what you can't hold onto. My family built a farm in Ukraine from raw grasslands into orchards and a town. Stalin took that. Don't lecture me about Ukraine. I've seen this movie before.

The brainwashing worked for you
That Russian feeling when your salient becomes a pocket and gets oopsy-daisied.
Each, no. This is breach is a terrible news to Ukraine. Until now Ukraine has not managed to close any of these. R u s kie have much more meat, don't care about losses and their bombs and artilery are are still overwhelmingly strong.
it's a mixed bag for the russians - this attack shows they're better organised and capable of more complex operational actions, and it overall slots into their military strategy while serving a political purpose (protecting the occupied territory of donetsk), but it also shows that ukraine can, time and time again, react and respond in an intelligent, contextual way with limited resources and unfavourable conditions.
overall a breakthrough was inevitable in this situation - and it's still objectively a very bad situation - but ukraine has been in this position for months, and has clearly planned for the worst. it'll be vicious fighting, but I am hopeful that ukraine's forces will punish russia for overextending and de-organising as they attempted to press this salient.
Cope harder
Yeah good news on channel completely biased towards ukraine. State owned crap propaganda. Deletes and filters comments and sl far been mostly wrong. The sailent is widening by day and ukrainian troops are fleeing because they the nearest hideout are several km away and they cant do a counter. This was a huge loss and massice success on for russians. You lie to yourself all you want but the situation on front is dire.
@@DomWood definitely this. It's not that either russians are steamrolling all over ukraine, nor that ukrainians are slaughtering wave after wave of russians. It looks a lot like ww1, in that one side gets an at least temporary advantage, but then struggles to exploit it
Another good report, keep it up Team!
