RT reported that the Russia-Ukraine conflict over the past week was marked by fighting in many locations along the front line, with the Russian army reporting new advances in Donbass. Russian forces also continue to hunt for high-value assets in the Ukrainian rear, attacking redeployed troops and equipment.
On July 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of Urozhaynoye, a large village located southwest of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
The village has witnessed fierce fighting and suffered heavy damage over the past few months.
Drone footage shows Russian soldiers planting a flag on the roof of the local administrative building.
On July 19, the Russian Ministry of Defense said the Russian army took control of Yuryevka, a small village located west of the town of Gorlovka, Donetsk.
This development appears to signal that Russian forces are expanding their control after breaching Ukrainian defenses last week, when troops entered the village of New York (also known as Novgorodskoye) northeast of Yuryevka.
Continue attacking the logistics facility
The Russian military continues to focus its efforts on attacking Kiev's military logistics facilities, including units and assets that are being redeployed.
Russian forces launched an attack on the train station in the village of Budy, Kharkiv region. The army used two Iskander tactical ballistic missiles to attack a train carrying a lot of military equipment.
According to Moscow's estimates, 20 pieces of equipment, including 3 German-supplied Marder infantry fighting vehicles, were destroyed in the attack, while up to 120 Ukrainian soldiers were killed or wounded.
Another Iskander attack was reported on July 16, when missiles carrying cluster warheads struck a Ukrainian training range near the village of Peresechnoye in the same area.
Russia deployed super heavy bombs
On July 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense officially acknowledged for the first time the use of the FAB-3000 "super bomb" with extremely high explosive power, equipped with a universal planning and calibration module (UMPK).
The military released a video showing the FAB-3000 being installed on a Su-34 fighter-bomber.
The Su-34 was seen carrying only a single bomb on the central tower. This bomb extends its wings immediately after separating from the aircraft and continues to glide into the target.
Another video featuring the winged FAB-3000 shows the altitude at which they are deployed. Rare footage shot from a Su-34 in clear weather shows the plane apparently dropping the giant bomb at an altitude of about 10,000 meters above ground.
