The video was taken by Ukrainian air reconnaissance units on the battlefield near Ocheretin, in the direction of Pokrovsk. This footage gives a small insight into the scale of Russian attacks on Ukrainian positions. The occupiers use scorched earth tactics to achieve success at the front – they wipe the inhabited areas from the surface of the earth.
The drone footage shows that absolutely all the buildings were destroyed in the attacks. Most of the residents of Ocheretin have fled the area, and the Ukrainian military has acknowledged that the Russians have gained a foothold in the village and, unfortunately, continue to advance slowly.

The Russians are obviously preparing and all the facts speak for it. What we see is the concentration of forces at the border, the drawing of reserves in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. No doubt they are preparing for another ground attack. Most likely, it will start in the district of Kharkiv region. We don’t know all of the enemy’s plans, but we do know what the scenarios might be.
The Ukrainian military does not rule out that the Russians could also seize the city of Chasivyar – and the Russian attacks may succeed because of the lack of ammunition in the Ukrainian armed forces.
At the moment, the occupiers HAVE concentrated a force of 25,000 soldiers around Chasivyar – and with the Ukrainians still waiting for military help – the fall of Chasovyar is likely only a matter of time, as it happened earlier with Avdiivka. The capture of this small Donbas town, located on a strategic high ground, would give the Russians a better position for further advance on the last major cities of the Donetsk region. – Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Kostiantynivka.

These towns are only 20-25 kilometers from the contact line and are subjected to massive attacks day and night. In recent weeks, the Russians have been terrorizing Ukraine’s second largest city, Kharkiv, every day by sending rockets, aerial bombs and drones at it.
Last night, the occupiers launched 13 Iranian Shahed drones over Kharkiv shortly after three in the morning. Most of them were shot down, but two strikes hit the center of the city. It is reported that four people were injured, including a small child.
