Russia took control of the village of Tonenkoye
On March 21, AVP reported that the Russian army achieved significant success in the Donetsk People's Republic (self-proclaimed), gaining control of Tonenkoye village and Alabastrovaya station. Previously, the Russian army gained control of the village of Orlovka, part of the strategic actions of the Russian Armed Forces in this direction. Such events represent significant changes on the front lines and could significantly influence future campaigns in this area.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the defense line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine runs through Tonenkoye, Orlovka and Berdychi. This is considered one of the most solid defense lines. However, despite the strong resistance of Ukrainian forces, Russian units still showed high effectiveness in operations. Currently, in this area, the Russian army has captured two-thirds of the settlements and is preparing to attack Berdychi from many directions.
Faced with Russia's continuous attacks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are under a lot of pressure. The loss of key positions forced them to make difficult decisions on their next course of action – whether to hold Berdychi, possibly incurring heavy losses if they continued to resist, or retreat to the defensive line.
In recent days, Ukrainian forces continued to actively resist in battles in the settlements of Novomikhailovka, Pobeda and Pervomaiskoye. In these areas, despite fierce Russian attacks, the Ukrainian army still maintained its position.
Ukrainian patrol boat destroyed in Odessa region
Also on March 21, information about a Ukrainian patrol ship being destroyed by a Russian Lancet drone was posted by AVP. According to reports, the incident occurred in the port factory area in Odessa. Details of the attack and its aftermath have not yet been made public.
The Russian Lancet drone is widely known for its characteristics and ability to be used successfully in combat. This type of drone, equipped with a modernized chassis and enhanced weapons, poses a significant threat to the enemy. They are capable of carrying out targeted attacks on important objects and equipment.
The destruction of the Ukrainian patrol boat shows that the Russian military successfully controlled the situation even at a significant distance from the front line.
