**Ukrainian Troops Use Desperate Tactics to Push Back Russian Forces**
In the city of Toretsk, located in the Donetsk Oblast, Ukrainian troops are using an unconventional strategy to fight back against Russian forces. The tactic involves demolishing entire buildings that contain Russian positions.
This desperate approach is a result of the brutal evolution of the war between Ukraine and Russia. Despite suffering heavy losses, Russian forces continue to advance along multiple sectors of the 800-mile Ukrainian front.
**Ukrainian Forces Demolish Buildings to Reclaim City**
In Toretsk, the situation is dire. A town of 35,000 before the war, it is now a battleground. Ukrainian forces have resorted to demolishing entire high-rise buildings that contain Russian positions in an effort to reclaim the city.
The Ukrainian strategy is straightforward: destroy the buildings and force out the enemy. This approach has been demonstrated by the 1st Omega Detachment of the National Guard, who carried out a swift raid on a Russian-held building under cover of darkness.
**Explosives Used to Demolish Buildings**
Under the cover of night, Ukrainian guardsmen planted powerful explosives in the building and then made a rapid withdrawal. The subsequent detonation devastated several floors of the building, forcing Russian forces out.
This tactic speaks to the desperation of Ukraine’s situation as Russia’s wider war on their country enters its fourth bloody year. Despite heavy losses, Russian forces continue to advance, and Ukrainian troops are forced to use extreme measures to fight back.
