War in Ukraine – fighting for Vuhledar
Back in February, Ukrainian troops defeated the 155th brigade of Russian marines near Ugledar, since then the military and analysts have observed some attenuation of the assaults in this direction.
According to the military, the Russians lost up to 300 of their soldiers daily on this sector of the front. Under Vuhledar, the invaders tried to surround the Ukrainian defenders, but they did not succeed.
One of the invaders from the 155th brigade, taken prisoner by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the recruitment of Russian sailors to fight.
The Institute for the Study of War argued that the Russian Federation did not have the resources to strengthen the Ugledar direction due to large losses in manpower and equipment.
The defeat of the Marines near Vuhledar marked a series of setbacks by the invaders during the spring offensive in the east and caused a wave of indignation among the pro-war Russian audience.
