Russian forces suffered catastrophic losses attempting to sever Ukrainian supply lines in the Kurakhove direction by advancing on motorcycles and quad-bikes, destroyed by Ukrainian drone strikes and minefields.
Russian troops have advanced in Malynivka, Bahatyr, and near Novosilka, settlements strategically positioned near the H15 highway and Mokri Yaly River.
A failed Russian assault near Bahatyr used such cars alongside motorcycles. Ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed 24 of 28 vehicles, repelling the attack.
