good
503 Marine Batallion near Donetzk. 503 was at Mariupol in full force and now near Donetzk. How can it be? Or its new batallion?
there is no evidence that all units of 36th marines brigade were in Mariupol on the moment when it was blocked
Video by Ukrainian TV TSN shows soldiers of 503rd Marines Battalion in Donetsk Oblast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue61w7HctLk
There still might be some elements of 503rd in Mariupol, but the majority seems to be elsewhere.
Uh, sorry, see theres another Andriivka.
Are you sure the Russians took Andriivka? Or is it a little mistake, and you mean Brazhkivka?
Thanks for your great work.
Thanks
Spelling errors on maps:
-“Derhachi” not “Dernachi” (to the North of Kharkiv)
-“Bakhmut” not “Bakmut” (to the North of Donetsk)
-“Slovyansk” not “Slavyansk” on the big map (if you follow Ukrainian spelling rather than Russian)
Thanks for noticing it, I’ll correct it.
Thanks for updates.
