Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade Chases Russians Out Of Another Donbas Sector

The capture of the village itself is less significant than the message it reinforces about the Russian military's inability not only to advance in any strategic sense, but to hold on to territory they have taken, revealing that the Kremlin's forces, though still formidable, are weaker than they were a year ago or at the start of the invasion.

Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade regained control over the village of Nadiia in Luhansk Oblast.
