This is the moment Vladimir Putin's forces were left humiliated when one of his biggest recent assaults of his war on Ukraine ended in substantial losses.
The Russian leader had ordered his troops to capture more territory in the Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, but the push near Kurakhove resulted in mass death and destruction.
The failed assault led to the reported deaths of 40 invaders, and left 37 more injured.
Russia is carrying out intense attacks in multiple sections of the eastern front, but in a Ukraine victory, troops managed to fend off 29 attacks in Kurakhove alone, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, Dmytro Hutsuliak revealed in its latest update.
Ukrainian paratroopers destroyed six Russian tanks and seven advancing armoured combat vehicles as they were hit by kamikaze drones, it said.
The Russian attack group was also targeted by anti-tank gunners, said Ukraine's 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade - also known as the Taurian Brigade.
The Russian army launched the attack from several directions simultaneously early Wednesday morning, the brigade said, while sharing the footage of the assault.
The brutal attack reportedly involved some 57 armoured vehicles, 11 tanks, 12 motorcycles, and 200 assault vehicles.

As the Ukraine/Russia war gets closer to the end, the elite (whose only side is themselves) will have all the usual suspects pouring hundreds of $billions into Ukraine to rebuild (for humanity’s sake) which will provide enormous opportunities for those same elite to skim $billions from the trough. The same will occur in GAZA. It’s just an endless river of money that will flow through the hands of the elite with some of it pouring into the “right” pockets.
Consider this: 5% of $1billion is $50million. Now, multiply that by 1,000 ($1trillion). The numbers are so large now that skimming 5% is hardly noticeable, unless your’s is one of the “right” pockets.
The country would be far better off if Ukraine ceased to exist. Death to Ukraine!
This propaganda that would make Baghdad Bob blush.
Thanks for posting this.
( Pictures speak louder than words)
The breadbasket of at least Europe.
I’m no expert, but in terms of warfare if I read: “…the push near Kurakhove resulted in mass death and destruction.”
I would expect to read a shocking statistic, not this: “The failed assault led to the reported deaths of 40 invaders, and left 37 more injured.”
40 is mass death? Putin is not humiliated by 40 deaths.
Sorry, this goes as click bait.
He didn't have to listen to NATO. His choice. But if a foreign army was invading the U.S., would you negotiate or FIGHT?
Any day now, Ukraine will be marching on the Kremlin. Any day now........

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Kharkiv direction.
Intense clashes continue in the northern Kharkiv region, and significant developments have unfolded particularly around the settlement of Hlyboke, where Ukrainian forces have launched a series of tactical counterattacks.
Here, Ukrainian forces have demonstrated renewed offensive capabilities, capitalizing on apparent weaknesses in Russian defensive lines. Reports from Russian analysts indicate that Ukrainian units are conducting regular counterattacks near Hlyboke, with notable advances from the southwest.
In a significant tactical gain, Ukrainian forces have recaptured territory on the northern outskirts of Hlyboke, precisely an agricultural enterprise, which occupies an area of approximately half a kilometer by half a kilometer. This operation involved deploying reserve units to the front line, showcasing Ukraine’s ability to reinforce and exploit local opportunities.
The intensity of the Ukrainian counteroffensive is evident in their night-time operations. As darkness falls, Ukrainian formations, supported by armored vehicles, launch repeated assaults on Russian positions near the football field in Hlyboke. This pattern of attacks suggests a deliberate strategy to probe and exploit vulnerabilities in Russian defenses.
Geolocated footage has corroborated these reports, showing elements of the Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade engaging Ukrainian positions north of Hlyboke. The first video shows a reconnaissance team approaching the area on various motorcycles and quads, taking advantage of the tree lines cover. Once in range, they perform an FPV drone attack on the area of the agricultural enterprise recently captured by Ukrainian forces.
A second video also shows a Russian attack on this same area, this time by using a self-propelled howitzer system. The fact that Russian forces are striking these areas indicates that Ukrainian troops have successfully regained these positions, marking a shift in territorial control. The original, uncensored combat footage of all operations can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.
Ukrainian forces are not limiting their operations to northern Hlyboke alone. They have also initiated attacks in the western parts of the village. Russian sources characterize these as raids aimed at identifying weak points in Russian defensive lines, suggesting a broader tactical approach by the Ukrainian command. These operations west of the settlement have even included airstrikes. A short video released by Ukrainian air force shows an attack with two Western glide bombs on one of the areas still controlled by Russian forces.
Moreover, reports have emerged claiming a concentration of Ukrainian forces in Lyptsi, south of Hlyboke, which has not gone unnoticed by Russian observers. This build-up may indicate preparations for further operations or an attempt to create pressure points along the front. Russian analysts have expressed concerns about the sustainability of their offensive operations in the Kharkiv direction. They cite insufficient troop numbers, estimating the Russian Northern Grouping of Forces to have only 30,000 to 70,000 personnel.
This force is deemed inadequate for a significant breakthrough of Ukrainian defenses to a depth of 40 kilometers, highlighting the strategic challenges faced by Russian command. The analyst concluded that the Russian military command needs to adopt a defensive posture in the Kharkiv direction due to a lack of necessary forces to sustain offensive operations and cited poor planning as the main reason for this shortage of forces.
And as if this were not enough, internal issues within Russian ranks are further complicating their operational effectiveness. Ukrainian sources report that recently rotated Russian units are struggling with coordination and communication. This has led to alarming instances of friendly fire, particularly during night operations, where Russian forces have reportedly engaged their own troops due to disorientation and poor communication between units.
Ukrainian tactics compound the Russian difficulties. Ukrainian soldiers report successful interdiction of Russian supply and evacuation efforts, utilizing automatic grenade launchers and FPV drones to inflict casualties during these vulnerable moments Despite these setbacks, the Kremlin still claims its commitment to establishing a “security zone” in Kharkiv Oblast. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov recently reaffirmed that operations to this end will continue until Russian forces achieve their objectives, framing it as a measure to protect Russian border settlements. This corroborates reports that the Russian military command is regrouping troops in an effort to continue offensive operations in the Kharkiv direction.
Overall, the situation in Hlyboke direction remains highly dynamic. Ukrainian forces have demonstrated their ability to conduct effective counteroffensive operations, exploiting gaps in Russian defenses and capitalizing on enemy coordination issues. However, the Russian efforts to maintain their presence in the region despite their precarious situation suggest intense fighting will likely continue in the coming weeks. The insufficient Russian troop numbers, as reported by their own sources, may present further opportunities for Ukrainian decisive advances in the zone.

I would not support the use of America in NATO's proxy war against Russia.
The Russians have been suffering over 1000 casualties every day for months now. Casualties now over 570,000 since they started in 2022.
Obviously, the path now to Uke victory is by Massive Hyperbole. Like, Hitler in the bunker the morning of April 30, 1945.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Nor do I. We should have been out of NATO long ago; let Europe fight among itself if it chooses. But do you expect Zelinskiiy to reject NATO help when his country's been invaded?
If an invasion happens here will you negotiate or FIGHT?
Doom on Putin and his Roosski armies. I wonder how many ethnic minorities are being dragooned to serve in this army? On the Ukrainian front lines. Or have signed up for big bonuses that might or might not materialize.
Have another Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich cookie, PIF.

I expected Zelensky not to forfeit Ukrainian citizens, power grid, soldiers, sovereinty etc. in exchange for money, nor that Zelensky would sacrifice the infrastructure and people of Ukraine for NATO's proxy war on Russia, clearing the way for the unelected elites of NATO/UN/WEF to further their efforts to rule the world.
Zelensky is a willing pawn and is well paid for it. I don't support the lies that 'the Ukraine was invaded' for no reason or that it's really Putin who wants to rule the world. So your 'invasion happens here' continues to be your stalking horse; you'll twist your response to make it seem like it's comparable to a true enemy of United States invading us, when in fact your Ukraine example is proxy war.
The US has been invaded by Trojan War tactics - Biden is the puppet our enemies have in place. Our border is a fake entry point of our enemies who pose as 'refugees'. That, I certainly fight against in the information war. The US treasury is being drained by gifts of taxpayer funds by our enemies for their proxy war in the Ukraine - again I fight via the information war.
Anyone with half a brain could figure out that Ukraine could never win a war with Russia.
“So they don’t need anymore U.S. taxpayer dollars, huh? That’s a good thing.”

Most US weaponry costs for Ukraine stays in America.
It goes to the American workers, American industry, and the renovation of the entire American army. We get rid of a lot of old stuff (going to Ukraine) and getting new replacements.
America has also sent a lot of outdated ammo to Ukraine. That ammo was planned to be decommissioned for very high costs.
Instead, it’s being “sold” to Ukraine - crippling Americas worse enemy alliance (Iran-Russia-North Korea) in the process.
It’s not a win-win situation.
It’s a win-win-win situation for America.
