In the Pokrovsk sector, Russians attempt to advance during snowstorms. At other times, unmanned systems fight in their stead.

This was stated on Army TV by Yuliia Stepaniuk, Head of the Communications Unit of the 117th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade.

According to her, with the onset of frost, the intensity of movement by so-called “individual foot soldiers from Russia” has decreased, when one or two servicemembers attempt to infiltrate between the positions of the Defense Forces. Instead, the number of drones — both reconnaissance “optics” and FPV drones — has increased dramatically.

The Russians attempt infantry advances either during snowstorms or under the cover of fog. Previously, they even left their flags behind, but they have since stopped doing so.

“If any flag appeared somewhere, it was immediately destroyed, burned, and the ground around it scorched. Everyone knew that nothing could be placed on our territory — no flags of any kind. That stage has already passed. They know that it is simply impossible to play these games with us”, — the brigade representative emphasized.
