The Mykolaiv paratroopers defend the borders of the Donetsk region while Russia starts another push.

These images show Ukrainian paratroopers defending the borders of the Donetsk region as Russia begins its push into the region. The move comes after Russia captured Lysychansk, cementing its hold on the neighbouring Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine. The footage reportedly shows Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russian troops on the borders of the Donetsk region. They can be seen travelling on an armoured personnel carrier, piloting a drone, and operating a tank in the rural countryside.
