Ukrainian Paratroopers Repel Russian Assault in Kurakhove Sector

Ukrainian paratroopers managed to repel a Russian mechanized assault in the Kurakhove sector.

The footage from the battlefield was released by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi.

The Russian command deployed armored vehicles and infantry to breach Ukrainian defenses south of Maksymilianivka.

Ukrainian reconnaissance drones monitored these movements, coordinating artillery and attack drone strikes.

The Russians deployed a tank at the front of the convoy to clear a path through Ukraine’s “dragon’s teeth” defense line.

As the convoy advanced, paratroopers from Ukraine’s 46th Airmobile Brigade systematically targeted and destroyed Russian equipment and infantry.

“We watch, we see, we burn. The skill of Ukrainian soldiers leaves no chance for the Russian invaders,” noted Syrskyi.

The Ukrainian General Staff said that fighting is ongoing near Illinka, Berestky, Novoselydivka, Novodmitrivka, Voznesenka, Maksymivka, Antonivka and Katerynivka in the Kurakhove sector.

“18 out of 32 attacks of the Russian invasion army have been repelled in this area so far. Fierce fighting is taking place,” the General Staff said.

Previously, on November 7, the General Staff reported that the Russian army attacked 93 times in the Kurakhove sector alone over the past day. This is an absolute record for the daily number of attacks in one direction and well over half of the total number of attacks on the entire front line.

The invaders are using combined assaults – they are trying to get close to Kurakhove from both the north and the south.

“There are a lot of them. The enemy – from the front line, from the south and from the north – are trying to cut off our logistics routes, and this particular Kurakhove-Zaporizhzhia highway, which is one of the key highways,” stated the 46th Airmobile Brigade’s press officer.
