Ukrainian Special Assault Brigade Defends Avdiivka Against Russian Forces

The Ukrainian army's 110th Mechanized Brigade retreated from Avdiivka, a Ukrainian stronghold, under the covering fire of the 3rd Assault Brigade, as they faced a desperate shortage of artillery ammunition due to blocked U.S. aid. The 3rd Assault Brigade, trained for assault, is now employing active-defense tactics to hold strategic positions and buy time for the 110th Brigade's withdrawal. However, experts caution against launching a serious counterattack, emphasizing the need to conserve resources and avoid risking the 3rd Brigade in a futile battle for a city that Ukrainian forces cannot hold.

"Ukraine's Best Brigade Deployed to Defend Avdiivka Amid Russian Offensive"

Ukraine is reinforcing the eastern city of Avdiivka, the current locus of Russia’s winter offensive, with the 3rd Assault Brigade, one of the best brigades in the Ukrainian army. The decision to reinforce the city comes after Russian troops breached Avdiivka and approached the main supply road. The reinforcement signals Ukraine's commitment to defending the city despite the risk, and it may have been influenced by a change in leadership within the Ukrainian military. The deployment of the 3rd Assault Brigade aims to relieve pressure on the supply lines and counter Russian aggression, but the shortage of ammunition poses a significant challenge for the Ukrainian forces.

Surviving the Forest: Ukrainian Brigade's Battle to Reclaim Bakhmut

The 3rd Assault Brigade, a Ukrainian volunteer corps, is engaged in a counteroffensive to reclaim the village of Andriivka and the city of Bakhmut from Russian-controlled territory. The brigade, considered one of Ukraine's best and most experienced, has been fighting nonstop since January. Progress has been slow, averaging 700-1,200 meters every five days, allowing Russian forces to dig in and mine the territory. The brigade faces the daunting task of reclaiming the forested areas leading to Andriivka, with casualties mounting and the cost of the counteroffensive weighing heavily on the country. Despite the challenges, the brigade remains determined to push forward and reclaim Ukrainian territory.

Ukrainian Troops Score Victories Against Russian Forces in Eastern Conflict.

The 3rd Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian army claimed to have dislodged the Russian army's 57th Motor Rifle Brigade from a key defensive position south of Bakhmut after a close-quarters trench battle. The Ukrainians claimed to have killed 30 Russians and captured 10 prisoners, but it is unclear how many casualties the 3rd Assault Brigade suffered. The brigade was formed around the survivors of the Azov Regiment, which fought in the brutal siege of Mariupol, and potential prisoner-exchanges could be deeply personal for them. The counteroffensive's resumption signals new, more aggressive Ukrainian methods in some sectors.
