Frame from the video of the 14th Brigade Ukrainian troops defeated a Russian armored group that tried to advance in the Kharkiv region near the occupied Pershotravneve settlement. Ukrainian soldiers of the 14th Mechanized Brigade took the fight.
"The Ukrainian soldiers act clearly and accurately," the brigade said of the battle. The Russian military command sent an armored group to storm Ukrainian positions southwest of the village of Pershotravneve. The movement of the Russian armored group was monitored by Ukrainian reconnaissance drones.
The Russian armored group consisted of infantry fighting vehicles and a tank, which moved ahead with a mine trawl and had to use it to make its way through the minefield. The Russian military convoy immediately appeared under fire from various weapons systems, which stopped its movement.
Then the armored vehicles were finished off by Ukrainian FPV drones. During the offensive, the Russians lost an infantry fighting vehicle and a T-80BVM main battle tank.

The situation remains tough for the Defense Forces of Ukraine along the entire line from Masiutivka to Yahidne settlements, where Russians are trying to advance with equipment and infantry. Presumably, the Russian military command has set itself the goal of reoccupying the city of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region.
