“The homeless look and non-statutory shoes of the Russian military should not surprise. The footwear and uniform of the Russian Armed Forces are of very low quality, thus the Russian military is always stealing and looting to get dressed, put shoes on and keep warm,” the journalist wrote.

Also, nearby the settlement, the equipment of the Russian military was destroyed and seized.

In particular, MT-LB armored personnel carriers designed to transport personnel and cargo were neutralized.

A modern Russian T-72B3 upgraded tank modification, which has a thermal imager equipped with a French camera Thales Catherine FC, was seized.

In general, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reclaimed control over the settlements of Oleksandrivka, Fedorivka, Ukrayinka, Shestakove, Peremoha, and part of Cherkaski Tyshky in the Kharkiv region.

According to the General Staff, the enemy is increasing the number of troops in the Slobozhanske direction. Units of the Eastern Military District garrison are being relocated from the village of Urazovo in the Belgorod region of Russia to the territory of Ukraine.
