Ukrainian defenders repel Russian assault in Donetsk Oblast: equipment destroyed, around 40 troops killed
Source: Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group on Telegram
Details: The Russian military command sent an assault column of 18 motorcycles and 10 cars to break through to the village of Bahatyr in Donetsk Oblast on 26 April.
Ukrainian forces reported that, thanks to the professional work of their headquarters in organising intelligence, Russian troops were detected in advance and their column was targeted.
"Close cooperation between brigades, proper organisation of intelligence and clear command of operations prevented the enemy's intentions from being realised.
Out of 18 motorcycles, 15 were destroyed, and 9 out of 10 vehicles were damaged. Enemy losses in manpower amounted to about 40," said the Vuhledar Tactical Group of the Ukrainian defence forces.

A landscape of death: What's left where Ukraine invaded Russia
Advertisement Then there were the unburied. When I visited the area in March, the fields were scattered with carcasses of cows and pigs, and with the corpses of civilians and soldiers. The uniforms visible among the fallen were mostly Russian. Amid shattered homes, other bodies had lain decomposing for months, seemingly untouched, the circumstances of their deaths unknown. I reported there for six days, escorted at times by members of Russia's Chechnya-based Akhmat special forces unit, which had fought to reclaim the area and was helping with evacuations. Drone attacks remained frequent. The sounds of incoming and outgoing fire were constant. Mines, unexploded drones and rockets lay everywhere. Deminers worked tirelessly, while soldiers sifted through rubble and woodland, collecting remains. The devastation has fueled anger within the community against Russian authorities, as well as against Ukraine and its Western supporters. Kursk represents the rare place in this war where Russian civilians found themselves under the control of Ukrainian forces, while large areas of Ukraine still remain occupied by Russia. Advertisement 'People should have been evacuated,' said Oksana Lobodova, 47, whose sister Olesya, 38, fled the village of Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and joined her in the city of Kursk at the beginning of the incursion. Their mother remained in nearby Russkoye Porechnoye; they last heard from her in August. 'How were people supposed to survive?' Lobodova said. 'Seven months in winter, without water, without food, without medicine, without communication, without electricity -- sick pensioners! 'What difference does it make if they were killed or died on their own?' she added. 'They were left there.' Russian officials have said that more than 150,000 people were successfully evacuated from the Kursk border region and that the idea the government did too little to help people escape was false information spread by the Ukrainian news media. But senior regional officials and former officials have been forced to retire, arrested on suspicion of corruption and, in one case, fired and then found dead. The body of Lobodova's mother was recovered from her backyard in Russkoye Porechnoye after Russian forces retook the village. According to Lobodova, authorities said she was killed by shrapnel. She was 68. Lyubov Blaschuk, 76, whom I met in a shelter, said she was from western Ukraine and had moved to Sudzha in 1986. In those Soviet days, she said, 'everything was one.' She spoke of NATO expansion as a cause of the war, reflecting arguments in state media. She characterized Ukrainians as victims of propaganda who blamed everything on President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Advertisement 'Fine,' she added. 'Let him be at fault. But it takes a lot to twist people's minds like that.' Her views on Ukraine found many echoes in the shelters. The conflict's toll in this area was most visible in villages cratered by bombardment that I visited near the former front line. The smell of decomposing corpses rose from the rubble, and I saw bodies in civilian clothing. For most, I did not see an obvious cause of death, though shrapnel had torn the buildings. One body lay in a bullet-ridden car. In the kitchen of one house in the village of Martynovka, I saw a largely naked body of a man bearing signs of violence at close quarters: a wound to the neck and a hole in the chest that appeared to be a gunshot wound. Who killed these people, and under what circumstances, is unclear. No one was living in these villages, and I could find no witnesses in the shelters. The New York Times previously documented two instances of indiscriminate use of lethal force against Kursk civilians early in the incursion, actions that may amount to war crimes. But reporters were unable to establish who was responsible for those deaths. One of Russia's top law enforcement bodies, the Investigative Committee, has accused Ukrainian forces of torturing and killing a civilian in a residential building in Martynovka, and of killing two other residents of the village. Russian officials and outlets blame Ukraine for other deaths, including in the village where Lobodova's mother died. State media has published reports describing harsh treatment of civilians, rarely providing evidence. Advertisement Russian authorities denied requests by the Times for more detailed information. In a statement, the Ukrainian army said that its forces had fully complied with international law in Kursk, assisting civilians and trying to rescue survivors of Russian bombing in Sudzha. It denounced the Russian accusations as fakery and propaganda. People I spoke to who were in Sudzha during the occupation generally reported respectful treatment by Ukrainian forces within the town, including some medical help and other aid. 'They didn't touch us,' Blaschuk said. 'Neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians -- they fought each other, but no one touched civilians.' One woman who remained in the town, Olga Novoselova, said the Ukrainian forces had arrived with the greeting: ''Good day, Slavs. We don't harm civilians.' 'And that was it,' she added. 'But still, it was stressful -- there were a lot of patrols. You could get stopped four or five times, even just trying to go somewhere with the dog.' The Ukrainian forces fortified their positions and laid minefields that may take the Russians years to clear, even with North Korean help. By holding the territory, they hoped to divert Russian soldiers from battles inside Ukraine and provide a bargaining chip for future negotiations. A high-stakes operation appears to have allowed some Russian troops to emerge at an unexpected point. Russia drained a mileslong section of the gas pipeline that passes through Sudzha and refilled it with air. Then it sent soldiers through to attack. Akhmat soldiers who traveled the pipe spoke of having helped deliver a telling blow. One, who gave only his call sign, Skull, in accordance with military protocol, described emerging almost 10 miles behind defensive lines, wearing a blue armband to confuse Ukrainian forces. 'When the enemy realized we were there,' he said, 'they started to retreat very quickly.' Advertisement Their stay was brief. While I was reporting, the Akhmat fighters were summoned away to face another potential Ukrainian advance. Russia has since launched another bloody cross-border attack, targeting Ukraine's Sumy region. Many of the civilians who remain speak of their yearning for an end to the war. Even during the isolation of the occupation, Blaschuk said, people here heard the promises of a quick deal proclaimed by Donald Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign. 'Everyone was waiting -- waiting for Trump to end it all, to force peace,' she said. Now they are waiting on another promise, a promise of reconstruction from Putin. 'Vladimir Vladimirovich said that we will rebuild the Kursk region. Yes, it will be better than it was,' said Nikolai Ivanenko, a resident of the village of Kazachya Loknya now sheltering in Kursk city, using the Russian president's patronymic. He drew on a previous brutal conflict to justify his hope: 'We saw Chechnya, they rebuilt the most modern cities -- there were ruins there.' Novoselova, still in Sudzha, had a certainty of her own. 'The time will come, I'll pack my things, my animals, and leave here for good,' she said. 'Whether he rebuilds this city, as you say, or not, I still won't be able to live here anymore.'

Russian strikes kill 13 across Ukraine, while Putin attacks Kyiv's previously safe western cities as part of new strategy: ‘It's truly terrifying'
Russia unleashed its fourth major attack on Ukraine this month, killing at least 13 civilians Saturday as it rained hundreds of drones and missiles down on Kyiv's western cities — once considered safe from the onslaught. The Kremlin launched 623 drones and 26 missiles on its neighbor, Ukraine's air force said, including 319 Iranian-made Shahed drones. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin's military has leaned heavily on the so-called 'kamikaze' drones as part of its new campaign in recent weeks. Ukraine's military managed to shoot down nearly half of the drones and most of its missiles — but the blistering barrage still left a trail of death and destruction across the war-torn country. Advertisement 6 A Ukrainian firefighter works at the site of a Russian drone strike Saturday in Lviv, in the west of the country. via REUTERS A 26-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man were killed by falling debris from a drone in Chernivitski, near the Romanian border, regional Gov. Ruslan Zaparaniuk said. 'The fear just went through my whole body, everything felt numb, and my head was foggy,' a Chernivtsi resident named Yeva told the Kyiv Independent. 'I grabbed my baby — as he was naked, just in a diaper — and ran barefoot to the parking lot.' Advertisement Fires ripped through the western city, torching homes, administrative buildings, shops and cars — leaving behind collapsed structures, torched cars and piles of charred rubble. 6 An apartment building in Chernivtsi burned from the Russian strikes. via REUTERS In Lviv, near the Polish border, six people were injured, including an 11-year-old boy, Gov. Maksym Kozytsky said. The Russian drones destroyed 46 residential homes, a university building, the city's courts and about 20 commercial buildings, officials there reported.

Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images 'It's truly terrifying,' added Anastasiia Yatsenko, another resident. 'Your heart jumps out of your chest when you hear the sound of a Shahed drone, then gunfire, then an explosion.' Russian troops were also effective in their continued attacks on areas along the border and occupied territories. Three Ukrainians were killed in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, where Russia captured a first village this week after a months-long incursion. In the neighboring Zaporizhzhia region — the site of a nuclear plant — two civilians were killed in the attacks, Gov. Ivan Fedorov said. Advertisement Four more people were also killed in the Sumy region by a Russian guided bomb and another four were slaughtered in Donetsk, local officials reported. 6 A two-story residential building was destroyed by a Russian drone strike in Lviv. Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images Russia's Ministry of Defense said it targeted defense industry targets across several Ukrainian cities. The ministry said it also struck a military airfield. That follows the deadliest month of the war on record, when 232 civilians were killed and 1,343 injured in June, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. The Kremlin has ramped up its long-range attacks in recent weeks, including firing off more than 700 drones Tuesday during the most intense attack on Ukraine since the invasion began in 2022, and topping its record for the third time in two weeks. Experts believe that the recent wave indicates a change in strategy by Putin. 'They've never had a technical problem reaching western Ukraine, whether Lviv or any other region,' Israel-based military analyst David Sharp told the Kyiv Independent. 'It has always been a question of priorities.' Advertisement 6 Volodymr Zelensky speaks with world leaders. REUTERS Zelensky said Saturday that the pace of Russian strikes demands decisive action – and 'can be curbed through sanctions right now.' 6 Smoke billows over Lviv buildings after Russian strikes. AFP via Getty Images 'Tough secondary sanctions are needed against everyone helping the Russians produce drones and profiteer from oil,' he posted to X. Advertisement 'This war can only be stopped through strength. We expect not just signals from our partners, but actions that will save lives.' President Trump meanwhile announced on Friday that he plans to make a 'major statement' on Russia early next week — as the Senate considers legislation to force sanctions on Putin. The president has openly flirted with stepping up sanctions on Moscow — as well as imposing penalties on customers of Russian oil, minerals and other goods. Advertisement The US has also resumed sending military aid to Ukraine earlier this week, after Trump reversed a decision by the Pentagon to stop shipments.
