Ukrainian troops repulsed a Russian armored attack near the village of Pobieda, Donetsk region.

The 33rd Mechanized Brigade said that the Russian invaders had launched an offensive early in the morning on the Ukrainian border.

For this purpose, the Russian command chose tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, which were equipped with additional protection.

This additional protection consisted of protective grilles and electronic warfare systems installed on the vehicles.

The tanks were also equipped with KMT-6 rolling trawls to pass through Ukrainian minefields.

The principle of the trawl is based on pushing mines out of the ground and throwing them beyond the projection of the tracks.

The Ukrainian military spotted the Russian invaders on the move near the occupied town of Mariinka and began to strike.

To destroy the Russian troops, anti-tank missile systems were actively used to stop the vehicles.

“Our ATGM operators worked effectively: they hit five units of equipment. The unfinished armor was finally stopped by drone attacks,” the military said.

The brigade named the number of damaged vehicles and manpower:

• 3 tanks (destroyed);
• 1 IFV (destroyed);
• 2 tanks (damaged);
• 5 invaders (eliminated);
• 4 invaders (wounded).

“The invaders who tried to take our positions burned brightly on the battlefield,” the brigade noted.

To recap, the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade is also actively suppressing Russian attacks in the Mariinka sector. On June 20, the paratroopers repulsed a hostile assault attempt in the Mariinka sector.
