In an effort to force Russia back to the negotiating table, British, French and German leaders agreed to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukrainian troops in fighting, Reuters reported. According to reports, the decision of the three countries will also affect other European countries. After months of negotiations between the G7 and other Western countries, they may provide Ukraine with up to 250 billion pounds in batches to purchase weapons and support its wartime economy.
On the ground battlefield, in the direction of the Red Army City, according to military documentary reports, as the situation in this direction continued to deteriorate, Sersky had to transfer the 144th and 154th Brigades of the Ukrainian Army located in Sumy and Chernihiv Oblast. This means that the Ukrainian army decided to sacrifice the security of the Ukrainian border to defend the Red Army City front. The problem is that with the current high-intensity war of attrition in Red Army City, even if two brigades are transferred, it will not change the situation, and it will only delay it for a few weeks at most. It is worth mentioning that the Ukrainian army has begun to use F-16 fighter jets to attack Russian troops on the northern front, but the results do not seem to be obvious.
The most intense battle was on the front lines of Vladimirovka to Shakhov, especially the former, where Ukrainian video shows the Russian armed forces launched a rare large-scale armoured assault on the line with the aim of seizing the town of Shakhov. According to the official accounts of the Russian Armed Forces, the Russian armed forces launched 35 heavy armoured vehicles, including tanks and heavy armoured carriers, as well as a hundred motorcycles and light vehicles.
Judging from the video, the Russian army's attack was divided into at least three waves, launching assaults from multiple directions. The first attack was Vladimirovka. The first wave of Russian attacks may consist of dozens of motorcycles, each spaced a few meters to about 10 meters apart, charging forward in columns along paved roads. Since there was no concealment, the Russian army's attack was quickly discovered by the Ukrainian army's drone, and then intercepted by the Ukrainian army's triple firepower, a fire network composed of mines and drone units, as well as artillery from various units. In the direction of the Russian army, a bridge was blown up by the Ukrainian army.
Subsequently, a second wave of Russian attacks followed, consisting of a team of heavily armored vehicles wearing armor and carrying infantry. They also advanced along the paved road against Ukrainian fire and arrived in front of the damaged bridge. During this process, many armored vehicles were directly hit by Ukrainian fire, but the Russian army still broke through the bridge and broke into the village. Later, Russian infantry gradually got down from armored vehicles and, under the cover of firepower, occupied some houses. Later, Ukrainian fire destroyed Russian armored vehicles and fired at houses occupied by Russian infantry.
Immediately afterwards, the third wave of Russian attacks began, consisting of a dozen to dozens of armored vehicles. This wave of attacks changed the direction of advance. Part of the Russian army advanced along the paved road, and the other part advanced along the dirt road near the road, and invaded the village from another direction. After that, the Russian infantry also seized some houses and was shelled by the Ukrainian army. That's the end of the video.
The Azov Army issued a battle report in the early morning of October 11, saying that they destroyed and injured a Russian armored tractor, 3 tanks and 16 armored personnel carriers, and also destroyed 41 motorcycles and two light vehicles. vehicle. He also said that the Russian army failed to attack Vladimirovka. However, the Russian battle report shows that this attack was carried out by the Russian Naval Infantry Brigade, which had completely controlled Vladimirovka. While attacking here, an armored cluster of the Russian army was also pushed to the north of the village, infinitely close to Shahovo. In Hovo, the Russian infantry successfully got off the vehicle and established positions around it, but all armored vehicles were destroyed.
Currently, the Ukrainian army's 225th Commando Regiment is launching a counterattack. The Ukrainian army also gathered troops from the 82nd Air Force Brigade in the village of Toretkoye further north to form an assault group to prepare to counterattack the Russian army. The situation here is serious for both sides. As for the other directions of the Red Army City, there has been little change.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent Russian infantry from advancing along the forest belt or river shore, the Ukrainian army began to frequently deploy homemade disguised mines. The Ukrainian army would disguise the appearance of these mines into branches or trees, and then mixed with the real branches of trees and put them on the forest belt, river shore and forest road. Because of the better disguise, the Russian army suffered a great loss, and after paying a painful price, the Russian army's workers began to search for and remove these disguised mines.
