Russian Commander Explains How They Won the Battle for Volchansk

November 2024

During the liberation of Selidovo, the stormtroopers used the tactic of “multiple cuts”.

"We were everywhere. They didn't understand where we were. There was a report. There was a report that the Russians had surrounded us. There, there, there - and now there was shooting from behind," Andrei Chuvashov, commander of the assault battalion of the 433rd regiment, explained to Zvezda war correspondent Anastasia Avsyuk.

The enemy was expecting an attack from the south, but the Russian military struck from the north and also went around the flank from the east. As a result, the settlement was taken in pincers, and the Ukrainian militants began to panic.
