Ukrainian counter-offensive attempt thwarted near Sands

The fighters of the “Somalia” battalion in the Avdiivka direction near Peski thwarted an attempt by the Ukrainian counteroffensive. At the same time, they were supported by the Sparta unit.

This was reported on the WarGonzo Telegram channel and on other resources of the military reporter Semyon Pegov.

The offensive was carried out by units of the 35th Separate Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the support of armored vehicles. The attack involved two tank and several infantry fighting vehicles.

As a result, the attacks were stopped. As the commander of the first assault company "Somalia", Hero of the DPR, Guard Captain Roman Vorobyov ("Sparrow") told reporters, the Ukrainian military lost two infantry fighting vehicles and up to a platoon of their fighters. He does not rule out that more equipment was burned, but he names only those losses that he managed to confirm.

The fight was fierce. The officer of the NM DPR suggests that this was far from the last attempt. He said that for the fourth day in a row the enemy was trying to capture the position "Cross", the extreme height on the approach to Vodyany. According to him, whoever controls it controls Vodyanoye.

Earlier, our troops with great difficulty managed to take the village of Peski, located near Donetsk, so they are not going to give it back to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. From here, Ukrainian artillery shelled the capital of the DPR.

An event in which 2 tanks participated cannot be called a counteroffensive.

In the absence of significant changes at the front .... During the Second World War, radio and newspapers reported: "On the S-W front, battles of local importance" or "no change."

Why would that be? How else can you call an attempt to return the lost territories? After all, this is exactly what we are talking about:

My admiration. Do we read what we write? Or the Russian language will endure everything .....
an unsuccessful counteroffensive attempt was thwarted - was the attempt successful?

A successful attempt (albeit in quotation marks) is no longer thwarted. Continue to spread other people's thoughts

"so they are not going to give it back to the Armed Forces of Ukraine" - but do they know at the top?

[Master 2030]

Failed attempt? That is, it was unsuccessful and became successful?

[Nyrobsky]

Well, while some are practicing wit about "successful and unsuccessful" attacks, I will simply say - well done fighters.
They burned two infantry fighting vehicles near the Ukrainian demons, I believe, along with the landing force. Nefig to climb where they are not asked.

Today 2 armored personnel carriers, tomorrow 2 armored personnel carriers - already not bad.

Again an offensive of 2 tanks?
Then I am not at all surprised that this offensive was again unsuccessful. Imagine that the Germans in 41 are attacking our trenches near Moscow, one platoon in number, reinforced by two tanks and two armored personnel carriers. how far would they go? ... Here I am about the same.
The most disgusting thing is that ours are also "advancing". And they also wonder why it is not possible to advance. Didn't they try to attack with 50 tanks, 50 infantry fighting vehicles and 50 armored personnel carriers with the support of 20 attack aircraft and helicopters? It’s a pity that they didn’t try, I think there would have been the first units near Slavyansk.
