17 Feb: TURNING POINT! Russians LOSE A MAJOR STRONGHOLD! | War in Ukraine Explained

Today, there are a lot of interesting updates from the Pokrovsk direction.

Here, an elite Ukrainian Special Forces battalion launched a daring assault to reclaim a heavily fortified Russian stronghold south of Pokrovsk. Armed with precise tactics and detailed knowledge of the compound, they executed a flawless operation that left Russian troops unable to respond, dealing a devastating blow to the Russian operations at Pokrovsk.

The goal of the Ukrainian forces in this area is to retake the Russian-controlled fortifications to the north of Pischane. This is because these powerful positions are part of a larger Ukrainian network of defenses on the outer perimeter of Pokrovsk. The Russian control of some of these positions is a significant threat to the Ukrainian defense of the city, as they could utilize these positions to launch further assaults.

To achieve this, the Ukrainian command deployed the Shaman Special Forces Battalion of the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service. Shaman Battalion is one of the most elite units of the Ukrainian military, with a long list of successful covert operations, they were the ideal choice to be sent in for the task.
