The successful attack was carried out on a symbolic day.

The military of the 59th mechanized infantry brigade of the AFU successfully attacked Russian army groups near Avdiivka at three positions.

The operation was planned. The Russian troops were defeated on the 9th day of the death of Hero of Ukraine Dmitry Kotsyubaylo with the call sign "Da Vinci".

This was reported by the military correspondent Yuri Butusov.

"Of course, it was all well planned, as it should be, in advance; it was not emotional," he stressed.

Ukrainian defenders managed to capture four Russians during the attack.

They are Sergey Obdovsky from Tver, Yakov Dairov, Yury Kitov and Samrat Ertleus from the Orenburg region.

The military correspondent says that previously residents of ORDO were the backbone of the 110th brigade, and citizens of the Russian Federation were there only in the command staff and military specialists.

However, the situation has now changed. The brigade is almost entirely staffed with Russians, including soldier positions.

This indicates that invaders in the occupied territories of Donbas have no one else to mobilize and send to the front.
