He added that the uniqueness of the operation was that the Ukrainian military attacked the enemy, who outnumbered them, and won.
Success depended on detailed planning, non-standard solutions, coordinated work of artillery, anti-aircraft defense, BPS and intelligence. But the heroes of the battlefield were tankers, sappers, scouts and, first of all, attack aircraft.
The brigade's offensive actions made it possible to repel the enemy's blow from the direction of Makiivka and relieve tension from other critical areas of the front in the lanes of neighboring brigades.
Now the occupiers are increasing the use of aviation, MLRS and long-range artillery. The enemy is trying to regain what was lost. But the Third Assault Guard holds the boundaries.
