Fighters of the 4th Operational Brigade “Rubizh” of the National Guard report radio intercepts indicating preparations of mercenaries from Ethiopia and Morocco.
This was reported on March 18 on the brigade’s channel.
In the past day alone, the enemy carried out nine assault attempts — all unsuccessful. They deployed 11 light vehicles — ATVs and motorcycles — but all were destroyed.
The brigade eliminated 14 occupiers, with four more wounded. Total enemy losses on their sector reached the size of an infantry platoon.
Intercepts frequently mention preparations of foreign mercenaries.
“We expect them as a ‘last reserve’ in assault operations, as the situation in our area of responsibility is becoming critical for the enemy. Near one settlement, up to a dozen Russian marines and special forces are blocked, most wounded. Evacuation is impossible, and attempts to deliver medicine resemble acts of suicide”, — the brigade reported.
Recently, the enemy even sent a suicide motorcyclist to deliver medical supplies — but he got lost, came under fire, and was eliminated along with the cargo.
Meanwhile, in Bilytske, the enemy systematically deceives its own command, reporting full assault groups while in reality only 2–3 disoriented soldiers are hiding without activity.
Priority targets for Ukrainian drone operators in the Lyman sector are enemy artillery and UAV operators.
This was stated by Olena during an Army TV stream on March 17.
“Enemy howitzers, including D-30s, are positioned very close — we’ve destroyed quite a lot of them. They try to camouflage them with branches and dugouts, but we find them, track signals”.
She noted that extensive analysis precedes each strike, involving intelligence and intercept units: “Everything possible is uncovered — and the target is destroyed”.
The enemy tries to avoid Ukrainian drones, while Ukrainian operators continuously improve detection and verification.
According to her, the focus remains on: enemy artillery capable of striking Ukrainian infantry and positions at long range and
enemy UAVs.
“The enemy avoids bringing in long-range artillery here because we’ve made it a major target in two critical directions”, — she concluded.
