"Russian airborne forces have quashed the counterattack attempt by Ukrainian militants in the special military operation.
Ukrainian
motorized infantry supported by tanks and artillery aimed to regain
previously lost positions. However, Kiev troops found themselves under
heavy fire. Russian forces unleashed massive firepower – grenade
launchers, anti-tank weapons and artillery. A bulk of Ukrainian forces
were eliminated in moments, while the rest of the Ukrainian militants
had no other choice but to retreat." Sputnik
