03 Oct: Wow! Russian Factory Assault TURNS INTO BLOODBATH! | War in Ukraine Explained
Video Summary
The situation in Vens has taken a dramatic turn, with the Russians deploying brutal tactics to try and regain control. Despite this, the Ukrainian forces have made significant gains, capturing the aggregate plant and forcing the Russians to retreat. The plant, which was the last major fortified position in the city, was the focal point of the operation. Ukrainian forces used elite units to launch a week-long assault, which has led to a decisive shift in the battle’s momentum. The plant’s capture has revealed the dire conditions under which Russian forces were operating, with reports of soldiers having to dig wells in the basement to access drinking water and being forced to endure a regime of deception and intimidation by their commanders. The Russians are now attempting to delay Ukrainian advances by digging tunnels and underground passageways, and have redeployed other troops to the area to enforce a defensive strategy. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian forces are capitalizing on the situation, using drone warfare to great effect and inflicting heavy losses on the Russian forces. The outcome appears to be favoring the Ukrainian side, with the possibility of further advances in the coming days.
