[Video Comment: The real difference between the two sides was that the defenders had heavy fire support and the attackers didn’t.
One of the first artillery/mortar rounds that came in actually almost landed in the defence trench. The fire mission thankfully did clear away the Russian attack force.
The attackers did try to suppress the trench with small arms fire, while another went through the wood. However, I couldn’t see a heavy weapon, belt fed machine gun even, to give enough suppressive fire to really pin down the defenders.
The Ukrainians have the communications and organisation for their fire support. The Russians don’t seem to. However, as a defender I would have wanted another defence trench covering this one. To defend such an isolated position is going to be dangerous, very.
This is brutal. How many have to die for Putin’s folly? The more kit and everything we can give the Ukrainians the faster this war will be over, and the killing can stop.]

The village of Maksymivka was captured at the very beginning of a full-scale war against Ukraine. Russian troops set up their advanced positions there, from where they fired on Mykolaiv and other peaceful cities. Now there are traces of invaders everywhere in the village - abandoned positions, burnt equipment and countless ammunition. What residents remember, more in the story.
Meanwhile Mykivka is lost, Bakmut just about fallen, Avidivka same. Avidivka most important, as that is the city that has been shelling Donetsk since 2015. Once Avidivka is eliminated, Vlad accomplishes his first stated objective; liberation of the Donbass.
For a much fairer balance, I suggest the Military Summary Channel. Words are cheap, video and maps are priceless in drawing conclusions. Dima uses both Western and Russian battle maps, both agreeing with each other.

Don’t get sucked in by western MSM, virtually no reporting on the Ukies dire situation. In any case it is becoming more obvious every day:
Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP.
