Ukrainian paratroopers have already destroyed hundreds of units of Russian equipment near Novomykhaylivka, Donetsk region.

The 79th Air Assault Brigade reported that together with other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, more than 300 units of equipment had been destroyed.

The paratroopers managed to neutralize this amount of equipment in 6 months of fighting near Novomykhailivka.

The battle for the small village, which used to be home to only 1,500 people, began in late fall.

To seize this settlement, Russians concentrated 10 brigades and regiments totaling up to 30,000 soldiers on a narrow section of the front line.

“And every day Russians throw tanks and armored combat vehicles into the attack, sparing no infantry. We have destroyed 314 units of enemy equipment,” the military said.

The brigade noted that this was proven information as of today.

The paratroopers also released a map documenting the destroyed Russian equipment.

“Novomykhaylivka and its surroundings today are one of the largest cemeteries of enemy equipment of the Russian-Ukrainian war. These are thousands of Russian invaders who suffered a shameful death here,” the military added.

Novomykhailivka is located about 12 kilometers south of Mariinka, which Russian forces have been trying to capture since 2014.

Russian forces have intensified these assaults since the beginning of October 2023, and now they control the site where Mariinka was located, the settlement itself no longer actually exists.

As previously reported, the paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade demonstrated another repulsion of a Russian assault near Novomykhailivka.
