Ukrainian special forces have launched a counter-offensive in Pokrovsk using US-made Black Hawk helicopters.
The goal of the operation was to reopen supply lines in the besieged city, which has held out for more than a year against a Russian offensive but now appears on the brink of capture.
Video provided to The Economist showed a team of 11 soldiers fanning out across a field after climbing down from a Black Hawk helicopter.
Gen Kyrylo Budanov, the Ukrainian intelligence chief, was reported to be personally leading the operation from a nearby location, in a sign of its potential significance.
Russian forces are close to encircling Pokrovsk, according to Deep State maps, with only a 10km gap left through which to bring in supplies and evacuate the wounded.
On Saturday morning, there were fears for the fate of the GUR infiltration team as footage taken by Russian drones purportedly showed a series of strikes in the same area where the men were dropped.
The Telegraph has not been able to verify the footage and Ukrainian military officials have yet to comment on the operation.

How did it work out for them?
These special forces troopers are eleven of the thirteen border guards on Snake Island who refused to surrender to a Russian warship and were all awarded the Order of Twerk by Zylynskyy himself, posthumously.
So, 1) the Telegraph couldn't verify the video from The Economist about "11 soldiers", and 2) "Ukrainian military officials have yet to comment."
Pelsoi's wrap up smear comes to mind as the structure of reporting on other media reporting on that which has not be verified.
After almost four years, Russia has penetrated 100 miles.
About where the were in 2022.
I'm happy for you. Since Russia is so inept and powerless, there's no need for our nation to pony up more funds, when the EU can and should fund the war.
It would help if the OP knew the outcome of this distarous operation before she rushed to post British propaganda.
A disaster indeed - but Little Zelya successfully killed more of his men, and kept The Grift goink for another day.
“there’s no need for our nation to pony up more funds”
We aren’t. Now you can REALLY be happy!
That is, unless you are pro-Russia.
“It would help if the OP knew the outcome of this distarous operation before she rushed to post British propaganda.”
So far, Russia has spent over a year trying to take this city.
And Putin thought he could take Kiev in three days!
Can the Western Gaslight Media lie any harder?
Little Zelya and "Snuff-Boy" Syrsky have everything well in hand.

Do you have to be an ass every day?

Looks like TG’s wifey let him out of the basement for the day. 😉😂😂
What an amusing response. I am quite pleased that our Trump-Vance administration is looking for the EU to buy the weapons and provide the funds. Quite pleased.
I almost forgot about that one! LOL
Another one of Pinocchio Zelensky’s tall tales!
According to him, 13 Ukrainian border guards “died heroically” defending an island base against the Russian Navy.
“Russian warship, go f*ck yourself!” were the soldiers’ final words, or so his story went.
The Ukrainian guards ultimately turned up alive as Russian captives.
The entire story of courage under fire, including the Snake Island defenders’ famous last words, was a myth and a lie – Just one more of Zelensky’s fabricated
BS story.
They have become impossible to count.
Childish response. Grow up.
LOL! You are doing a lot for the integrity of this site.
Good way to chase away lurkers that don’t want to put up with immature idiots.
