Newly released archival footage from Ukraine’s Rubizh Brigade highlights a fierce engagement in the Siversk direction, where soldiers of the 🇺🇦 4th Battalion of Operational Assignment successfully repelled a large-scale Russian assault. The video, geolocated and verified by military analysts, underscores the intensity of combat in the contested eastern sector.
According to preliminary battlefield assessments shared by Ukrainian sources, Russian forces suffered significant casualties during the failed offensive:
🇷🇺 Personnel losses: Estimated 18–200 killed (exact figure pending verification)
🇷🇺 Wounded: Between 5–300 injured, with reports varying due to chaotic retreat conditions
The Rubizh Brigade, operating under Ukraine’s National Guard, emphasized the strategic importance of holding the Siversk line, a region critical to disrupting Russian advances toward key logistical hubs. The footage shows Ukrainian troops deploying artillery, drones, and small-arms fire to dismantle the assault.
While Ukrainian casualties remain undisclosed, the Defense Ministry confirmed five soldiers sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Analysts caution that casualty ranges reflect the fog of war, with exact numbers often clarified post-conflict.
