Ukraine wanted to restore a small part of the defense line between Osheretino and Keramyk, while preventing Russian forces from continuing to advance in the direction of Novoaleksandrovka.

However, these counterattacks could only partially slow down the advance of the Russian army, and this is not according to Kiev’s calculations. 

The counterattacks ended late on Friday With the defeat of the Ukrainian forces, who were forced to retreat towards the stream northwest of Arkhangelskoye.

Just when they thought they had run far enough and started to slow down, an attack from Russia hit the front of the Ukrainian military column, causing many Ukrainian soldiers to be covered in smoke, and others to be swept aside.

It is unclear exactly when this video was filmed, and to what extent the damage was caused to Ukraine.

Analyst Julian Röpke said in the German newspaper Bild that according to According to the sources he knew, the Russian army already controlled southern Arkhangelskoye and was halfway between Solovyov and Sokol.
