**Russian Forces Change Tactics in Ukraine**
Russian troops are now using motorcycles to attack Ukrainian positions near the town of Siversk. These vehicles are only fueled for a one-way trip, which means Russian commanders don‘t expect their soldiers to return.
According to Stepan Barna, commander of the Edelweiss 10th Mountain Assault Brigade, Russian forces have changed from using large groups to attacking with smaller groups on motorcycles and other vehicles. This new tactic is designed to break through Ukrainian defenses quickly.
**Motorcycles Used for One-Way Attacks**
Barna confirmed that Russian forces are using motorcycles in their assaults. Some of these vehicles are intercepted by Ukrainian troops, but others make it to their objectives. The motorcycles are only fueled for a one-way journey, which suggests that Russian commanders don’t expect them to return.
“We seize many motorcycles,” Barna said. “It’s clear that they are only fueled for a one-way journey. That means the motorcycle definitely won’t return.”
**Heavy Fighting Continues**
The Siversk front is located in eastern Ukraine, near the town of Siversk. Ukrainian forces have been fighting off Russian attacks, and recently repelled a massive assault on December 14. In that engagement, Ukrainian troops eliminated 52 Russian soldiers and destroyed several vehicles.
