Russian troops lost a large-scale tank battle for the city of Vuhledar, Donetsk region. The invaders were ambushed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine - just like during the offensive by tank columns at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. It is reported by The New York Times.

" The Russians advanced in columns, and the Ukrainians maneuvered defensively, firing from a distance or from cover when the Russian columns fell into their field of sight.

When it was all over, it turned out that Russia not only failed to capture Ugledar, but also made the same mistake that cost Moscow hundreds of tanks at the beginning of the war: the advancing columns were ambushed..

Ukrainian military drone footage confirms mine-detonated, artillery-hit or anti-tank missile hulls of Russian armored vehicles in the fields around Vuhledar.

Earlier it became known that the troops of the Russian Federation near Ugledar changed their tactics: during the day they attack, and at night they recover and pull up reserves.
