Putin's troops flee occupied territory as Russia loses ground for first time since 2024

This is the breath-taking moment a high-stakes Ukrainian armoured assault team smashes straight through Russian lines in a dramatic tactical blitz. Operating under the cover of brutal weather conditions, elite Ukrainian assault teams utilised mine-resistant MRAP vehicles to navigate treacherous dirt roads heavily scattered with Russian anti-tank mines and deadly debris. The high-velocity mechanised assault successfully broke through the outer perimeter of the Russian defensive lines in Stepnohirsk, suppressing enemy fire positions with heavy machine guns and automated grenade launchers. Supported by tactical FPV drone operators hunting down retreating forces from above, the coordinated pressure completely shattered the Russian consolidation, forcing surviving troops to flee south. Former Intelligence Officer Philip Ingram breaks down how this decisive tactical victory has completely disrupted the Russian riverbank advance toward the regional capital of Zaporizhia, reversing the momentum in one of the most hotly contested sectors of the frontline.
