#Ukrainian Defender #Yevdokym_Serdiuk from #Pokrovsk, #Donetsk region, joined the #56th Motorized Brigade in 2022 and fought in #Zaporizhzhia and #Donetsk regions, including in #Bakhmut. In 2023, he lost both legs in a #Russian drone attack.

Now, #Yevdokym is working as a prosthetics instructor at the #TYTANOVI rehabilitation center, helping other Defenders learn to walk again.

#Yevdokym visited a shopping mall in Kyiv dressed as Santa.

@MAKS23 I think we should all remember that its almost month from #Russia announcement that #Pokrovsk is fully encircled.

As I understand many Ukraininians die there every day but since a week no progress was made by Russians.

Basically its #Bakhmut 2.0 but this time though everything is covered by #drones so human warfare in Pokrovsk can't attack nor defend the city.

Un oficial ucraniano (officer_33) comenta que en la primavera de 2025, un soldado ucraniano pasaba entre 200 y 300 días en una posición del frente. Anteriormente era entre 60 y 70 días, lo cual significaba una barbaridad que provocaba multitud de quejas. Ahora hay casos de hasta 470 días, lo cual no deja de ser hasta causar baja. El mismo oficial confiesa que hay muchos más casos que terminan así, que no con una "salida exitosa".
Si recuerdan, hace tiempo, dos años quizá, ya alertamos que la media en el frente de un ucraniano era de +/- dos meses antes de ser rotado. Por entonces la del ruso era de 15 días, excepto durante la ofensiva ucraniana en #Zaporiyia y los Wagner en #Bakhmut.
#Ucrania
El frente de #Siversk según #MilitaryAnalytics, que coincide con el resto de analistas, sean filo-rusos o independientes.
Nadie en su sano juicio podía esperar, la pasada primavera e incluso este verano, que en noviembre veríamos algo así, la ciudad más fortificada y de difícil acceso del #Donetsk, hasta ahora ucraniano, ayer con un 25% de ella tomada y prácticamente cercada.
La gente que sigue la guerra y los medios en general, miran #Prokovsk; sin embargo, hay ciudades estratégicamente más importantes, aunque nosotros no entendamos el porqué. Es lo que tiene convertir ciudades en símbolos. El ruso utiliza Prokovsk para desgastar, tal como hizo en #Bakhmut, mientras avanza en #Guliaipole, #Siversk y #Kupyansk, que son los centros estratégicos que más cuentan para poner de rodillas a #Ucrania y la #OTAN
Dos mapas de dos maneras de ver la situación, tan parecidos que, excepto el formato, muestran lo mismo, pero lo explican de manera distinta. El independiente de #Suriyakmaps y el filo ucraniano independiente de #MilitaryAnalytics. La realidad es que el ruso siempre deja una salida medio suicida en los cercos. Así evita bajas mientras las provoca al contrario. En cuanto a #Pokrovsk, el ucraniano infiltra gente diariamente, que muere o, en el mejor de los casos, es capturada, solo para decir que la ciudad aún resiste.
En una guerra militar de políticos contra militares siempre ganan esos últimos. La #OTAN lo descubrió a finales de 2022 en #Bakhmut, pero sigue igual.

Quote by FACitb:
“May 6, 2023
We had a challenging day, thinking we were going to a location more than 13 miles away from the front line. Upon arrival, the city felt like a movie set, deserted and with many destroyed buildings. Before we arrived, we were told that we had to work wearing bulletproof vests.
Eventually, we found out that our location was only 5 miles away from Russian artillery.
Despite the danger, we decided to start cooking and many people showed up.
Unfortunately, only one oven was available because the other one was broken. Luckily, we managed it fairly well, but working with bulletproof vests was almost impossible. Throughout the day, we heard war sounds, which we almost got used to.
Around 3:00 pm, the military ordered us to quickly pack up due to a Russian drone sighting. There was no room for discussion, and we had to pack up immediately.
We also had a tough night, sleeping in Sviatogirsk, as we were constantly disturbed by incoming and outgoing fire.“

Nine years on the front line, eight of them as a volunteer. Battles for #Pisky, #Avdiivka, #Savur_Mohyla, #Shchastia, and #Bakhmut. The first volunteer awarded the title Hero of #Ukraine during his lifetime. In 2022, #Da_Vinci was included in the “30 under 30: Faces of the Future” ranking by #Forbes.

#Dmytro became a symbol of a new generation — strong, principled, and wholeheartedly devoted to their country. He passed away at 27, but he will remain forever in the hearts of #Ukrainians.

Moscovian logic .

Moscovian : Odesa is a ruzzian town .
Moscovian : we are going to destroy Odesa.

Oh and btw could the landscape of Belgorod or Rostov receive the same treatment than Bakhmut or Vovchansk.
