Russian occupants have launched an offensive in the Kupiansk sector of Kharkiv region. Here, among others, the Baba Yaga aerial reconnaissance unit is ready to meet the enemy.

The commander of this unit, Ruslan Mazovetsky, nicknamed "Barmaley", is confident that Ukrainian defenders will withstand and win. He said this in a comment to OBOZREVATEL.

Mazovetsky noted that "Baba Yaga" is currently performing combat missions in this area. In the course of their offensive, the invaders lost an ATGM in the hands of the unit. In addition, enemy infantry hiding at a railway station was struck.

Currently, the unit is supporting the Defence Forces and, despite the fact that it is quite hot there, the guys are standing and not letting the enemy advance.

"We have enough means to deter the enemy. We have enough combat gear, willpower, spirit and desire to destroy these non-humans who came to kill our citizens. We will survive and win because we are together, for each other, each for everyone. That is why the victory will be ours. Glory to Ukraine!" - said the unit commander.

As a reminder, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have localised a "major offensive" by Russian occupation forces on the Kupyansk-Lyman line. As a result of the effective actions of the defenders of Ukraine, the invaders lost at least 75 people killed and wounded, as well as a number of vehicles.
