DIU Servicemen Halt Enemy Advance in Donetsk, Eliminate Over 90 Occupiers
August 22, 2025

The "Bratstvo" (Brotherhood) unit, part of the DIU “Timur" Special Unit, successfully coordinated a combat mission with fighters from the Russian Volunteer Corps unit, effectively halting enemy forces in the Donetsk region.

During the assaults, the unit's fighters eliminated over 90 russian occupiers and captured five more.

FPV drone operators and bomber teams conducted more than 400 combat sorties, delivering precise strikes that supported the ground forces throughout the operation.

The video footage captures remarkable scenes of the unit's combat performance.

Thanks to the practical actions of the Ukrainian reconnaissance fighters, the Defence Forces stabilized logistics within their area of responsibility and prevented the enemy from advancing rapidly toward the Dnipropetrovsk region's borders.

During the mission, the commandos also detected and neutralized several groups of so-called "flag-bearers" — russian soldiers who risked their lives to plant tricolor flags on territory still controlled by Ukraine, aiming to create staged photos and falsely claim the capture of those settlements.

All identified "flag-bearers" were either eliminated or taken prisoner.

The armed struggle continues.

Glory to Ukraine!
