The Russian military’s Vostok [East] Group of Forces repelled six more counterattacks near the Haichur River line in Zaporizhzhia on February 17, inflicting heavy losses on Kiev forces.
One counterattack saw the 1st Separate Assault Regiment, more known as “Da Vinci Wolves,” attempting to advance near Ternovatoe in armored formation. In a second, the 5th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade attacked near Rizdvyanka. The third counterattack was carried out by the 210th Assault Regiment, which attempted to advance to the southeast of Vozdvizhevka.
Two additional counterattacks were carried out by the 95th Rifle Division, one near Alexandrovka, and another close to Hai.
The last counterattack took place in the direction of Staroukrainka. It was carried out by the 225th Separate Assault Regiment.
The drone units of the Vostok Group of Forces played a key role in repelling all six Ukrainian counterattacks. Kiev forces lost four armored vehicles, including two BMP-type infantry fighting vehicles, along with more than 2 platoons of troops while attempting to advance.
Kiev forces began launching coordinated counterattacks close to the Hacihur River line last week after bringing large reinforcements, including several assault formations and foreign mercenary groups, into Zaporizhzhia.
The Vostok Group of Forces has so far held up its positions with great success. However, Ukraine will likely continue to launch counterattacks for the next few days, or even weeks.
Kiev forces are taking heavy losses, but the main object of these counterattacks is not necessary to regain, but rather to slow down the advance of the Russian side. In recent months, the Vostok Group made significant gains in Zaporizhzhia, breaking through one Ukrainian defense line after another, from the Yanchur River to the Haichur River.
These losses will eventually catch up with Kiev forces, and once they can no longer launch counterattacks, the Vostok Group of Forces will likely resume advance faster than before.

delay to purposefully waste time nato could have launched a massive attack on russia 4 years ago ..they procastinated then still are now and still will for years .they’ll just keep up appearances and play the game .
what games? where are the cards?
war games you idiot. they’ve never said…. oh we can’t join in this years games because we’ve no forces or equipment but since this operation suddenly they’ve left their balls home.
be a polite brutus, papa karamazov, and go play golf.
exactly it’s too obvious like sfs fudged trollope and votes.
even in genghis khan times kiev was russia, capicci, bandera’s halfkaps, alflings or orcs? lets call the oxes and the cows by their names, ladies first, van der leyen it’s (nor is) a nazi cow, kaja kallas it’s a ss nazi cow. that’s enough.
let’s get to the point russias greek orthodox and the nazis are catholics. it’s always been that way . rome versus greece .
brutus, for god’s sake, they are all catholics apostolics, but you are better, you are only half upside down.
the vostok group is busy but, intact. a key point nato puppets will not share in media theater by their masters orders. negations serve no purpose.
it’s a theatre use your brain you’re not going to see a heater or egg beater you’re going to see a theatrical production . you wouldn’t say it like heater so don’t spell it like it . negotiations deceive the viewers the soldiers dying in the mud that the elite care . its theatre of operations. imo
like this rubbish propaganda
” the secret war inside the vatican |secret vatican files ep 2 .
what a load no one needs any oil it isn’t scarce its too abundant, like diamonds or land . they have to hide it fence it in shut down wells limit production deny knowing where theres huge oil fields still untapped, deceive the world to rig profits for themselves. they know its renewable too created by the earths plates grinding against themselves producing oil all the time.
and they know, and now i’m certain they’ve always known , that energy is readily available all the time naturally generated for free by the planet acting as an induction coil generator using the north south magnetic poles and i reckon the egyptians knew and the pyramids were power plants really and because it’s not rocket science , it’s elementary basic magnetic fields . observation lightening emanates from the ground up .
aqui estás pior do que há um bocado, e já fizeste um salto mortal de pernas para o ar!
and don’t forget the point: van der leyen it’s (nor is) a nazi cow, kaja kallas it’s a ss nazi cow. that’s enough.
