Aftermath of the recent tank battle between Vuhlehirsk and Debaltseve. Vuhlehirsk and another village now in Russian hands, but Debaltseve still holding out though - in theory - surrounded for about two weeks. 7500 civilians evacuated westwards last week.

In this battle Ukrainiane lost three tanks, Russia twelve or so.

For some more context, here is a Russian map of the frontline, Debaltseve is just above the middle of the lower right quadrant, for those of you up to speed on the eternal :enemy:, it's easy to spot ДЕБАЛЪЦЕВО, surrounded by a lot of :enemy: red.

Russian TV channel Lifenews is close to FSB/SVR/siloviki, didn't post all their Donetsk airport stuff due to the number of corpses involved, here's the same presenter rolling into Vuhlehirsk four days ago, doesn't go into detail regarding the 400+, possibly 500, Russian forces slabbed while taking it.

Russian soldiers from 200th Motor Rifle Brigade (Murmansk) enter Chornukhnye near Debaltseve (Ukraine). They had the upper hand in fighting then, but taken some losses since this footage was filmed.

From a few days ago, Russian regular had an irregular get p%ssy with him, kicks off in response.

Tame compared to a lot of the intra-necine fighting on Russian occupied territory, regulars versus GRU irregulars versus locals versus chechens versus cossacks versus everyone.

From end of Jan, Russian regulars don't know where they are, ask locals (near Debaltseve).

Debaltseve was cut off last week just before the Minsk talks. Most of it fell to the Russians in the last 48 hours. Ukrainians holding on but another disaster as per August last year in the pipeline.

Before the supposed 0000HRS ceasefire kicked in last Sunday, several volunteer battalions went on the offensive east of Mariupol due to Russian forces moving kit north to the Debaltseve kettle. It was also a middle finger to Kiev, but not really an official mutiny as they are still not under central command. They got halfway to Novoazovsk but fighting is heavier now.
