Combat operation of the 3rd OShBr, during which soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Assault Battalions stopped an attempt to break through the front line and cleared Krasnogorovka of enemy forces. The video footage was shot on GoPro-cameras of the raid participants. On the eve of the occupants managed to advance on a certain section of the settlement and begin to set up for defense. It was necessary to act quickly to dislodge the enemy without giving them a foothold. On this difficult site sent fighters of the Third Assault. "This task was assigned to us at 2 a.m. and in the morning we were on our way," recalls friend Estet, commander of the assault platoon "Miron" of the 1st Sturmrota, 2nd Assault Battalion. After entering the city, the brigade's units went on the offensive. Fighters began mopping up building after building, and the enemy desperately defended. From the intercepted conversations of the enemy it became clear that the occupants were doing badly. However, the Russians held on as best they could. The occupiers ignored the offer to surrender and go for an exchange. "Their skills were not at a high level. But the level of resilience and motivation was inherent. Even being surrounded, although they had, of course, no opportunity to retreat, to run away, because they would have been killed immediately, they still fought, fought back. It cost us some effort to destroy them," says friend Darwin, deputy company commander, TVO of 3rd Assault Battalion, 1st Assault Battalion.

Under the desperate onslaught of the Third Assault Brigade's fighters, the surviving occupants retreat.

This is the final part of the documentary trilogy The Offensive. The first-person combat footage shows the offensive actions of the Third Separate Assault Brigade during the summer and autumn phase of the Ukrainian offensive in the Bakhmut sector. The end point of the brigade's offensive in the Donetsk region was Andriivka. Having cleared the bank of the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas Canal from enemy forces and secured their positions, the brigade's fighters began a new stage - storming the approaches to the occupied village of Andriivka. The assault rifles are moving from trench to trench. They are under fire from small arms and grenades, including thermobaric grenades, are being used one after another. The occupiers are offered to surrender, but there is no time for long persuasion and the Russians have a limited choice - either to be captured or killed. "I'll smoke you out!" one of the fighters comments and continues to pour. So, through forest belts, occupants' trenches and fierce fighting, the stormtroopers approach the settlement and begin the liberation operation. The complete defeat of the enemy 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Russian Federation by the Third Assault Brigade, the constant dynamics on the battlefield, the sounds of explosions, shooting and the moments when you say goodbye to your life, your comrades and loved ones. And all of this for the sake of raising the Ukrainian flag and the brigade's flag over the liberated land
