Vyacheslav “Lyutyi”, commander of the “Shershni Dovbusha” strike UAV battalion of Ukraine’s 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade, shared the information to Espreso TV.“Enemy forces often appear where we do not expect them, targeting mortar crews and UAV pilots. This forces our units into small-arms combat to repel attacks. The enemy frequently camouflages themselves in civilian clothing, which complicates targeting, as we cannot engage actual civilians,” Lyuty said.He also stressed the importance of NRVs (non-rigid vehicles) for moving around the city amid UAV strikes, noting that soldiers often have to traverse areas on foot. “Yesterday, I covered almost 20 km both ways fully equipped. Delivering even basic provisions is challenging, which is why NRVs are critical,” he added.Ukraine’s General Staff reported that on Saturday, October 25, there were 181 combat clashes along the front, with Russian troops attacking Ukrainian positions 76 times in the Pokrovsk direction.
