59 Russian Attacks In One Day On Kurakhove Defeated By Ukrainian Forces

The scale of the Ukrainian defensive effort against larger Russian forces is brutal. 

But the fact that the Russians are incapable of succeeding given their advantages is a testament to the Ukrainians' training, leadership and skill. JL

Kateryna Denisova reports in the Kyiv Independent:

Ukraine's 46th Airmobile Brigade repelled a Russian attack in the Kurakhove sector. The unsuccessful attack involved seven tanks and 11 infantry fighting vehicles, with Ukrainian forces destroying seven pieces of Russian equipment. Russia is carrying out intense attacks in multiple sections of the eastern front, with attempts to break through Ukraine's defenses in Donetsk Oblast toward Pokrovsk and Kurakhove. Ukrainian troops fended off 59 attacks in the Kurakhove sector over the past day alone, Ukraine's General Staff said in its latest update on Oct. 21.

Ukraine's 46th Airmobile Brigade said on Oct. 20 that it had repelled a Russian attack in the Kurakhove sector in Donetsk Oblast, releasing footage of the engagement.

Russia is carrying out intense attacks in multiple sections of the eastern front, with attempts to break through Ukraine's defenses in Donetsk Oblast toward the towns of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove.

Ukrainian troops fended off 59 attacks in the Kurakhove sector over the past day alone, Ukraine's General Staff said in its latest update on Oct. 21.

Russian forces tried to break through Ukraine's defense lines and capture the village of Maksymilianivka to create conditions for further advance toward Kurakhove, the 46th brigade said.

 

The unsuccessful attack reportedly involved seven tanks and 11 infantry fighting vehicles, with Ukrainian forces destroying seven pieces of Russian equipment.

"Two more damaged tanks managed to roll back," the brigade said. The fate of the 28 fleeing Russian soldiers is unknown, the unit added.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify these reports.

Earlier in the day, Ukraine's National Guard said that Russian forces are attempting to storm the Selydove sector in Donetsk Oblast, using large numbers of infantry. The town of Selydove is located some 25 kilometers (15 miles) from Kurakhove.
