17 Jun: FULL AHEAD: Ukrainians CAPITALIZE ON TACTICAL SUPERIORITY | War in Ukraine Explained

Tldr: The Ukrainians, capitalizing on previous gains, launched successful attacks against Russian forces, using tactics such as smoke screens, armored vehicles, and mine-laden rocket systems. Despite heavy artillery fire from the Russians, the Ukrainians managed to push them out of a key settlement, which was then declared a "gray zone" and expected to be under full Ukrainian control.

• Ukrainians capitalized on yesterday's gains and further developed their success.

• Ukrainians cleared a one-kilometer-wide forest between Sharabianki and Pieter Hatke, securing the Ukrainian flanks against a sudden counterattack from the west.

• Ukrainians covered the whole area with a smoke screen prior to the attack.

• The first target of Ukrainian forces were the farms north of the settlement.

• Ukrainians used several armored fighting vehicles to quickly deliver the assault units right to the contact line.

• The second attack was conducted from the forest, using mostly infantry.

• Ukrainians filled all of their multiple launch rocket systems with mines and scattered these mines all over the approaches to the settlement.

• Russian forces struggled to keep Ukrainians out of the outskirts and after several minutes of fighting, Ukrainians had already entered the western part.

• Due to heavy artillery fire, Ukrainians temporarily retreated back to the forest but quickly came back and continued fighting in the center of the settlement.

• Russian forces were pushed out of the settlement after the artillery fire ended.

• Russian forces conducted a tactical retreat and assumed more reliable positions on the hills around the settlement.

• The settlement was declared a "gray zone" and is expected to be under full Ukrainian control the next day.

• The Ukrainian attack was successful and this development collapses Russian defensive positions along the gully in front of Step Over and Sherbakui.

• This puts Russians in Jerebianki in a very inconvenient situation because all the pressure now falls on this settlement.

• The video ends with a call to support Ukraine and the work the video creator is doing through purchases in an online store with Ukrainian symbols.
