Russian column assault fails in Orikhiv direction — Ukraine's 128th Brigade

She said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“The 128th Brigade has been in the Zaporizhzhia sector for quite some time, namely in Orikhiv. Previously, the Russian forces used the tactics of small assault groups, using buggies, motorcycles and armored vehicles to transport infantry. However, recently they decided to act differently,” noted Dzundza.

According to the head of the communications department of the 128th Brigade, the day before yesterday, April 16, the Russian troops decided to attack in a large group - a column that included tanks and other equipment.

“Our guys worked very hard and did not let the enemy through. Our reconnaissance men, UAV operators, artillerymen and, of course, infantry did a great job. The Russians suffered significant losses in both manpower and equipment,” emphasized Dzundza.
