While Ukrainian infantry at zero holds the enemy with machine-gun fire, our artillery literally mixes its fortifications with black soil, destroys military equipment and eliminates the invaders' manpower. In the Donetsk region, fighters of the 59th separate motorized rifle brigade not only skillfully repel enemy attacks, but also deliver crushing blows themselves: the enemy is destroyed by hundreds, dozens of them are captured, according to TSN.

Behind Vodiane you can see the outskirts of Donetsk and there are battles to expel the occupiers from there. A machine gunner nicknamed "OM" shoots through an enemy forest plantation - this is fire for detection. "We shoot when the enemy has been spotted and is moving," he says.

A series of machine gun bursts make the old "Maxim" smoke a little. Manufactured back in the 40s of the last century, this weapon needs special care - to tighten somewhere, not to spare lubrication, but the machine gun works flawlessly and saves lives.

Shooting battles here are a daily routine. The front in this area has long been unchanged, but battles and point strikes continue around the clock. "They can't move any further yet. They try, periodically try, but cut off," the soldiers report.

During one of the last enemy attacks, fighters of the 59th Brigade captured about two dozen invaders. Some of the captives also thank you for taking it. They recognize that this is their only chance to survive.

Just during the removal of TSN, aerial scouts flew to the front edge of the enemy. He sat in the dugouts and shoots our infantry from there. Scouts direct artillery. The first two strokes went far, the next - falls clearly. Artillery literally disassembles the enemy bunker for parts. In fact, mixing with black soil the invaders' equipment, their fortifications and manpower. "There are eight of the pieces for sure. They will not run, they will immediately remove them with a machine gun. On the contrary, they climb into the cracks wherever they can," the soldiers say.

Small aircraft are sent to clean up the Russian dugout behind the artillery. The guys attach homemade explosives to the reconnaissance drone, and in a few hours, under the pressure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, only a pile of garbage, pieces, and sometimes evenly deployed earth remain from the enemy fortifications.

Today, our fighters are mostly calming down the enemy in order to reduce the intensity of shelling, and in the near future, such sweeps of the battlefield will help prepare a counteroffensive. After which, hopefully, it will be possible to return home.
