Zelensky also awarded soldiers with the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi and the Order of Courage. Militarnyi recently reported that soldiers of the 65th Mechanized Brigade of Armed Forces of Ukraine defeated a group of Russian invaders who were advancing to storm Ukrainian positions near Robotyne.

A video released by the Ukrainian military shows a group of Russian infantry preparing to storm Ukrainian positions. When trying to move out of their trenches, Russians were spotted by a reconnaissance drone of the 65th Brigade of Armed Forces of Ukraine. To destroy invaders, first Ukrainian artillery or mortars opened fire on them.

After that, Russians were forced to hide for cover.

Further, operators of Ukrainian drones with ammunition and FPVs began to work, attacking Russian infantry, some of whom tried to hide among two previously destroyed tanks. Invaders failed to hide as the Ukrainian drones constantly flew over them, monitoring the movement of Russian infantry.

On January 6, it was reported that Ukrainian artillerymen had successfully hit Russian Nona-S self-propelled mortars in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Mortars had been discovered near the village of Novomykhailivka in the Zaporizhzhia region.
