body armor is still left behind. this was not artillery unit versus artillery unit. here in these woods in this town, it was infantry versus in in in infantry. close proximity fighting. ukrainian soldiers race toward an unseen enemy. carrying between them what is likely the weapon that could do something like this. ukrainian drones capture the destruction of russian armor. sitting ducks on the lone road through the trees. and here on the ground, you can still see the remnants of two destroyed armored personnel carriers. the body parts of the soldiers that were inside still litter this area. ukrainian forces say some 500 russian soldiers and 40 armored vehicles made their way into this part of the forest, and if they were able to continue and get through, it could have changed the tide of the entire war. moshun sits only three miles from kyiv s city limits and
ready to execute in a more efficient way in the donbas. our assessment is they are still struggling with a lot of these problems. also our assessment is that part of the reason that we re talking about shaping operations in the donbas is because the russians are trying to learn from their mistakes, and so in the last few days, we have seen them move in, as i said, command and control enablers, aviation support, largely helicopters, moving in artillery unit, ahead of what would be massive ground move mpts by troops or larger ground movements by troops so it appears as if they re trying to learn from those mistakes but again it remains to be seen whether they actually fix their problems. in a video discussing a new russian offensive, the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said quote, we will defend ourselves, we will fight, we will not give anything ukrainian. and fighting continues in southern port city of mariupol. aides from the city s mayor says intense street fighting remains
