Serhii Naiev, Commander of the Ukrainian Joint Forces, has revealed that he announced a contest among the Ukrainian troops in the spring of 2022 with a cash reward for the first people to destroy a Russian pontoon bridge across the Siverskyi Donets River near the settlement of Bilohorivka (Luhansk Oblast).
Over the past three weeks, Russia has thrown away something like two to four brigades of trained, regular army troops, against the very strongest Ukrainian fortifications, in the area of Avdiivka.
