  2. From middle to late December, a ~~third~~ localized Russian assault took place on the village. On 11 December, commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi announced on Telegram that multiple Russian assault companies had been used in the past days to try to recapture the village, but that severe losses had forced them to call up reserves to continue the assaults. On 15 December, this claim was supported by combat footage of a Russian armored assault group consisting of at least nine armored vehicles with infantry on the outskirts of the village being attacked by Ukrainian forces, resulting in the loss of five of the Russian vehicles. On 16 December, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that a further 11 Russian assaults on the village had been repelled – [Wikipedia.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synkivka)

  3. At **06:35** there’s apparently two confused Russians seeking cover near a Ukrainian trench, one is quickly eliminated outside, while the other manages to enter the trench, and is eliminated by the professional soldiers of 2nd Mechanized Battalion of the 30th Mechanized Brigade who pushes forward and engages.

    **The brigade is the only mechanized brigade that does not have any conscripts.** It is also a part of Joint Rapid Reaction Forces. Over a hundred soldiers from the brigade have served in peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone, Lebanon, Iraq and Kosovo.

    Not sure if this is still true, but interesting nonetheless.

  5. Armor blown to shit and only Ukrainian trenches to run to. So many drones being used.

  7. What was up with that got hanging on the back? Did his arm get stuck or was he trying not to be left behind? XD

  8. At 14:25, looks like the mouse the Russians had tied up to a post and tortured in another video got payback! Remember what they say about Karma?

  9. When the war is over, film producers in Ukraine will have enough footage for a mega documentary.

  10. A far cry from the ads of muscular models in immaculate uniforms inviting these poor suckers to make the ultimate meaty sacrifice for Gramps Bunker.

  12. I’m not sure how you watch this vid, then jump on a bmp to go get butchered. I know, vodka and threat of death but sheesh.

  13. Bro some of them in the armored vehicle got drone struck, hopped out and just went to the next vehicle only to get struck again a min later, just insanity
