Ukrainian military equipment destroyed near Urozhainoe
The village of Piatykhatky has recently become one of the main battlefields of the Ukrainian offensive in the Zaporozhie region. After two weeks of heavy battles, the Ukrainian military declared control of the settlement on the morning of June 19.
Piatykhatky is a small village which had the population of only 300 citizens in 2001 and is located 25 kilometers to the west from Orehov. However, today this is an important settlement, control of witch could pave the way for further advance of Ukrainian forces.

After the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) managed to advance in the area of Lobkovoe and the village came into a gray zone, Ukrainian forces launched another attack on the village of Piatykhatky located nearby. The large-scale offensive operations began on the night of June 17, after the rains ended and the AFU regrouped their forces during the pause. Heavy battles for control of the village have been ongoing for several days. Already on June 18, Russian officials in the Zaporozhie region claimed that the village was captured by the AFU but on the next day it was repelled by Russian forces.
As of the evening of June 18, Russian forces reportedly left their positions in the village which is located in the lowlands and took defence on the heights located nearby. Piatykhatky came into a gray zone.
On the morning of June 19, Ukrainian units shared new video claiming control of the village. The 128 mountain assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is reportedly fighting there. However, in several hours, forces of the Russian 429th regiment of the 49th diviaion, which includes the Storm-Ossetia battalion flag of which is seen fallen on the Ukrainian video, reportedly resumed the battle and repelled the AFU from the settlement.
The AFU are now holding control of the western part of the village, equipping firing points in the local houses and trying to develop an offensive on the Russian strongholds in the area.

Several days ago, the death of Aivengo Tekhov, Deputy Commander of the Storm-Ossetia battalion was confirmed in Piatykhatky. Today, the reports about his death are actively used by the Ukrainian media to spread lies that the entire battalion was allegedly destroyed.
Most likely, the battle for the village of Piatykhatky is ongoing and neither of the warring sides is holding the full control of it. The Ukrainian military is unlikely to remain in the village which is heavily shelled by Russian artillery from the commanding heights, that’s why the AFU are expected to continue their advance to attempt to capture some more advantageous positions.
Ukrainian forces fighting in the village:
Control of Piatykhatky would allow the AFU to attempt attacks on the eastern flanks of the Russian grouping deployed near the village of Kamenskoe on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River. If the AFU advance westward, Russian forces are likely to retreat from the area in order to avoid their cut off. The village of Piatykhatky is located on the road to Vasilievka, an important node on the shore of the Kakhovka water reservoir, where the AFU are expected to attempt their attack; if they manage to strengthen the stronghold in Piatykhatky.
The loud claims of the Ukrainian military from the Zaporozhie front lines rarely correspond to reality. As it was the case in the villages south of Valikaya Novoselka, Russian forces are following the so-called ‘active defence’ tactics. After prolonged heavy battles, Russian units retreat and allow the Ukrainian groups to enter the settlements in lowlands where they further launch counterattacks and inflict heavy losses to the advancing Ukrainian units. The main goal of the Russian military is not to save control of some small villages in the area but to destroy as many enemy forces as possible before the AFU reach the main lines of the Russian defence in the region.

The situation remains unchanged on other frontlines in the Zaporozhie regions, where the AFU continue attempts to break through Russian defences but only suffers heavy losses.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, three Ukrainian attacks were repelled in the area of Valikaya Novoselka over the past day. One tank, 12 armored combat vehicles, as well as a foreign-made combat vehicle were destroyed.
Two Ukrainian attacks were repelled in the area of Malaya Tokmachka. As a result, two Ukrainian tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles and two armored combat vehicles were destroyed.
Total Ukrainian losses in this direction during the day amounted to more than 100 Ukrainian servicemen, three tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, 14 armored combat vehicles, four cars, two self-propelled artillery installations “Gvozdika”, as well as howitzers D-20, “Msta-B” and D-30.
and for how long they will remain there? again 2 days? like the pyrrhic victory in novodonetskoe?!
these dudes are dying for the continued prosperity of the ethnic banking mafia and the corporations controlled by this mafia. i would not call ukrainians very smart or even just smart. of the beneficiaries in this war, i do not see any ukrainians or russians, and not even those assholes of americans. with huge profits, only a very small group of people. these are all worthless deaths.
weapon sales flourish and availability of fresh organs is guaranteed. this conflict will last forever as mentioned in orwells 1984. btw why are the artillery craters so flat compared to them we have seen alongside the (real) trenches of wwi?
killing people with mortar is more efficient way than using high calibre guns of wwi as heavy projectiles tend to dig deep into soil than explode while light weight mortar spreads shrapnel on the impact to a tree leaf. the same principle applies to anti-armour penetrating projectiles designed primarily to kill the crew not to destroy the armoured vehicle thus when hitting ground the crater is insignificant.
well said. modern artillery comes in various forms for different purposes. you have heavy penetrating shells that will tear up the land. you have he munitions that is primarily tasked with impacting and causing as much surface/area damage, in addition to special air burst shells that detonate at a fixed altitude to spray the area with fragments. there are many more but these are just a few types to name.
it’s a question of prestige, if the usa loses, its equipment turns out to be weak. think how the support of billions goes to waste. you can’t admit that. here was a good article from a military expert on why nato can’t win in ukraine.
brics is bigger, more powerful even its gdp is bigger.

it will be so until there are no more manpower in ukroland. “demilitarization” is this. it is sad, demential and stupid. the ukro defeat is more than clear. this tragedy is a result of a nazi corrupt goverment ruling a rotten fanatized population. they are guilty for their own destiny, as well as our disgusting childish politicians are, all genocidal.. everybody in the west should learn from this tragedy, that we created.
the unconscripted ukrainian man is becoming an endangered species. soon the kidnapping gangs will run out of quarry. they they too will be sent to the meat grinder.
it’s already bleedingly obvious that nato is sending their mercs in to be the new cannon fodder as the ukronazis run out of little boys and old men to send to the front lines.
should be real interesting when the russians capture their first merc pilots from downed f-18s and f-16s.
will they treat them as prisoners of war, or just interogate and execute them as the mercenaries that they are?
ziolendsky types formenting nazi bandern senseless nationalism right wing to the cause, when in reality they are the fodder to put pressure on russia to give up it’s lands stolen by the ziobolsheviks. in the end no ukrainian men and lots of ziolendsky types.
it is now pretty obvious that d’gengis kahn did not spent any time shooting wadds in ukraine. in fact it looks like the mongols avoided it completely as no genes have filtered down.
i thought the tatars are related to the mongolians. they have tatars in ukraine. the goths used to be in ukraine til they were forced out by the huns.
and then conan come with his cimmerians to disloge the scythians. they were aligned with the old medes.
truly incredible videos.
so the tank drove into a big hole in the ground? is that easy to do or a schoolboy error?
also, are the russians now enlisting manga characters?
the nazi-fascist ukraines can declare whatever they want, but reality is what matter, and this reality is extremely horrible for nazi-ukraine army. poor ukraine soldiers who are used by usa-otan just to weaken russia.
indeed, you cannot win a war without high moral on your troops, if they go forced to fight russia that created them and grown ukraine they will die easy for sure. this war is about land, resources and weaken russia to collapse them and divide in several small countries and enslave their entire population.
who will be the next target if russia loses? could be china, india, or could be brazil, or any other country who choose the masters of the universe the creators of the empire. only them can rule, everybody else must lie down their heads before them.
they can declare any thing, but the truth is the opposite.
nato should stick to attacking shopping malls and wedding ceremonies and bombing civilians that is where their strength lies. a bunch of global bankers and their holding mic companies with a usa zombie in chief to do their looting. maybe war should be waged against those who wage war for profit rather than armies.
instead of russian retreating before ukro thugs cut them off . why not russia force cut them off from 2 direction and launch attack on stepove from 2 direction.
i am very surprised russia is not using carpet bombing in such situation like in the first video. artillery shelling can do very limited job
those imbeciles in kiev and nato will never ever sever the crimean land bridge.
retaking territory already lost and waiting for a counteroffensive in which to lose it again isn’t a victory. it’s a development. i guess the western press need their little ‘victories’. an aggressor’s war is run by liars and cheats and all manner of scum.
would this be the same ukrainian army that denied losing bakmuth even though russia had kicked them out of every single building there?
this all looks like gray zone area. russia holds the high ground. ukraine just keeps sending men to die for literally nothing.
left the lowlands and took positions on the heights. sounds like a planned meat grinder by the russians. artillery and air power will pound these postions day and night.
the reason the ukraps died is because they were wearing the acu digital camouflage. that is the worst camo pattern ever made!
russian withdrawal is hohol trap; hohol govt after miserable failures pst 2 weeks report russian offensives on 2 fronts—jens sawyer in lgbt group therapy beg for burger
yesterday i saw a video with russians and also osetia flag lol
well, the solution is that the village desapears…
it is not clear nazi-ukraine meaning of victory. if after taken one small place, they are demolished by russian artillery and planes. this usa-nato offensive using their nazi-fascist ukrane soldiers will last just another couple of weeks. then, these people will see what a russia offensive is.
