a distance trying to damage a position enough to then storm. not just a part of the front is in danger of tank attack. but believe me, if they come in we will meet them adequately with those shots. right now is the ukrainians were attacking they launched a counter offensive weeks ago and have taken a few dozen settlements. the advance is low jordan recipient. we liberate the settlement that we can when we do, we don't move into the village. but we make sure the russians are gone. we don't go in, in order not to risk our soldiers live. that is important. when the command thinks that we have enough weapons and how soldiers will happily move for you for other super duty period. as we travel to another position scorched,

we can't get information on how many modern western weapons they have. at this section at the front. we are constantly told it is not enough and move on more boldly. because a break from the shelling lunch in the trench when the soldiers have been living here too for many months village is no decent strikes or not hillary dump has a high mile much of a rocket launchers disrupt the russians. it's attention opponent, dr. lee to less shelling from their side for a certain period of time. but the russians also adjust their logistics. they learn the lessons from al highmark and far ranging artillery. unfortunately, the war is not just a permanent turn in our favor. it's a process and it keeps changing itself here in the trenches at their own front. it's about patients moving forward carefully and keeping focus garage wheel.
