Unique footage of the combat work of the crews of Russian tanks during the assault on the outskirts of the village of Kamyshevakha on Saturday, May 21, was provided by the correspondent of Izvestia Denis Kulaga.
Tanks work by interacting with aviation: tankers approach the firing points after the air forces have worked through the terrain.
Earlier in the day, the military commander of Izvestia showed footage of the storming of the outskirts of Kamyshevakhi by the Russian Marines. One of the servicemen said that now the purpose of his unit is to block the enemy in the village. They work together with artillery and aviation.
On May 19, Izvestia showed footage of shooting from a captured Ukrainian T-64 tank at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The combat vehicle went to the Russian Guards when the Ukrainian security forces abandoned it with ammunition.
The special operation of the Russian Federation to protect the population of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics continues in Ukraine and in the Donbas, the beginning of which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24. Moscow explained that its tasks include demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. On April 19, the Russian side announced the beginning of the next stage of the military operation — "the complete liberation of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics."
The situation in the region significantly worsened in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics announced the evacuation of residents to Russia and appealed to Moscow for help. On February 21, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR.
