🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Maryinka
situation as of 17.00 February 23, 2023

🔻In Marinka, fighting continues inside the city. Soldiers of the RF Armed Forces storm enemy strongholds, actively using artillery and tank groups. The forces of the 79th Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still holding the line.

▪️Due to the difficulty of the assault directly through the center, Russian troops changed tactics and moved on to cover Maryinka from the south and north.

The units of the RF Armed Forces advanced at the tire repair plant and opened the way to the south to the village of Pobeda.

▪️Over the past few days, soldiers of the 255th Regiment of the RF Armed Forces have broken through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the Maryinka-Konstantinovka road and reached Pobeda.

Along the way, they attacked the fortified area of 79 odshbr in the fields east of Pobeda.

▪️The offensive to the south from Maryinka came as a surprise to the Ukrainian paratroopers.

Russian troops took advantage of the disorganization in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and were able to enter the village itself. Now the fighting is already going on inside the settlement.

🔻The Ukrainian command expects the start of the offensive in other areas, including in the north of Maryinka and in the Krasnogorovka area.

Electronic warfare crews were deployed to the combat area, and the units of the 79th brigade were supplied with drones purchased by volunteers.
