Dmytro Lykhovii, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Tavria operational strategic group, said his forces had withdrawn from areas near Stepove.
In the footage, the APCs simultaneously run over landmines and take a huge hit from the resulting explosion, showing Ukraine is still able to strike blows against the Russian forces.
While Ukraine defied many experts’ expectations with its resolute defence of Kyiv back in 2022, there is now concerns that two years of fighting have left soldiers low on ammunition and energy.
Speaking on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once again called on Western allies to boost Ukraine’s supplies and help it win the war.
He admitted that “the problems with the supply of ammunition” were impacting the situation on the battlefield.
Zelensky added: “The interaction between us, between neighbors, between neighboring regions, between all partners, has become a factor that along with the resilience of our people in Ukraine, does not allow Putin to prevail.”
In February, the EU passed over £40billion in military aid after months of resistance from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the past.
US aid for Ukraine is still waiting to be passed through the House of Representatives in Washington as Republican lawmakers continue to block the funds.
