Commander of Ukrainian AFU’S USF: Enemy launches spring-summer offensive campaign
Robert (Madyar) Brovdi, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, believes that the Russian occupation army has launched a spring-summer offensive campaign, noting that in just a day and a half, on a front line stretching approximately 100 km from Rodynske to Huliaipole, the USF managed to destroy more than 900 enemy units.
"The sharp weather change on March 17-18 in three critical areas of Donetsk and Zaporizhia sectors (Dobropilia, Pokrovsk, and Huliapole sectors), as well as the enemy's planned and somewhat overheated start to the spring-summer campaign, pushed the enemy to resume assault operations under the slump of the long-awaited inclement weather in March. A reliance on invisibility, according to old military canons, should have worked...," he wrote on Facebook.
Madyar noted that the enemy began its offensive at midnight on March 17, "having simultaneously deployed infantry, motorcycles, armor, and horses accumulated at a distance in a good dozen areas," noting that the enemy's losses that day amounted to more than 500 personnel, including 292 killed and 221 wounded. Brovdi noted that from midnight on March 18 to 12:00, the enemy had lost 277 men, 141 of whom were irreparable losses and 136 wounded.
The commander noted that the enemy had not managed to penetrate a single section of the aforementioned area in a day and a half, and that the overall losses of the occupiers were significantly greater.
