**Ukrainian Defenses Withstand Russian Assaults**
Russian forces have been launching up to 10 daily attacks on the Ukrainian defenses near Myrnohrad. Despite their efforts, they have not been able to gain a foothold in the town.
The recent reports reveal that the life expectancy of Russian soldiers in this sector has dropped to just two weeks. This is due to the high failure rate of their attacks and the resilience of the Ukrainian 38th Marine Brigade.
**Russian Strategy Exposed**
The main goal of the Russian forces is to reach the outskirts of Myrnohrad and initiate urban combat. Securing a foothold in the town’s southern part would provide a base for operations and facilitate further gains through urban warfare. However, their failure to establish this foothold now would force them to contend with muddy terrain, delaying advances until January or February.
**Ukrainian Forces Prepare**
The Ukrainian forces have been preparing for these attacks by strengthening their defenses and fortifying positions to counter Russian offensives effectively. They have also honed their artillery tactics to devastating effect, targeting Russian troop concentrations and adding significantly to their casualties.
**Russian Casualties Mount**
Combat footage from the area reveals Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian forces trying to establish positions in trenches. Large Russian assault groups of up to 20 soldiers break up in panic and disorganization after Ukrainian drone strikes start, canceling their assaults as a whole. Many Russian soldiers are tracked and eliminated in trenches and dugouts one by one.
**Russian Morale Takes a Hit**
The relentless casualties are taking a devastating toll on Russian morale. Disturbing combat footage has emerged, showing soldiers overcome by despair and a sense of impendent death wandering into local cemeteries to sit and await the inevitable strike from Ukrainian drones.
