These images show Ukrainian forces destroying a column of Russian tanks near Avdiivka.
The footage shows the destroyed Russian tanks scattered across a battlefield, with what appear to be dead Russian soldiers lying on the ground.
Other Russian war machines can also be seen on the battlefield after they were apparently stopped dead in their tracks.
The images then cut to Ukrainian kamikaze drones honing in on some of the Russian tanks and hitting them, causing one of them to burst into flames and burn profusely as it is destroyed.
The footage then shows at least one other kamikaze drone heading towards a Russian war machine before a large explosion is seen as it is apparently destroyed.
Other explosions are seen as the Russian military vehicles are hit before the footage ends.
The images were obtained from the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade ‘Magura’ of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Sunday, 12th November, along with a statement saying: “Mercilessly subtracting occupiers!
“The expert work of our fighters from the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, who shoulder to shoulder, together with their combat brothers from friendly units, are destroying Russians on the Avdiivka direction.
“In this video, we show the ‘love’ of invaders for Ukrainian land and the promised fragment of a tank burning with the tricolour of occupiers.
“Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine every second!
“Only together we will win!”
The images and statement were also relayed by the Defence Forces of the Tauriy Region on Monday, 13th November.
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022 in what the Kremlin is still calling a “special military operation”. Today marks the 630th day of the full-scale war.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between 24th February 2022 and 15th November 2023, Russia had lost about 314,290 personnel, 5,377 tanks, 10,104 armoured combat vehicles, 7,647 artillery units, 884 multiple launch rocket systems, 582 air defence systems, 323 warplanes, 324 helicopters, 5,675 drones, 1,562 cruise missiles, 22 warships, 1 submarine, 10,020 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 1,083 units of special equipment.
Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russian forces are losing men and equipment faster near Avdiivka than they did during months of battle near Bakhmut.
He said that the greater losses inflicted on the Russian forces will make Russia’s overall position in the war worse.
Gyunduz Mamedov, a former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine, has said that the Russian military has “eliminated” nearly all of Ukrainian literature in the occupied parts of the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The German Defence Minister, Boris Pistorius, has said that the European Union will miss its target of supplying Ukraine with one million artillery shells and missiles by next March.
The comments, the first public admission by a senior European minister that the goal would not be reached, were made ahead of a summit of EU defence ministers in Brussels today, Wednesday, 15th November.
German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall has said it will supply Ukraine with 25 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks as part of an order that has been paid for by the German government.
The United Kingdom and Ukraine have reportedly agreed to discounts on insurance against military risks for export to Ukraine, including through the Black Sea corridor, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
He said: “This will make the Black Sea corridor more accessible to a wider range of exporters.”
Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s Chief of Staff, has said that Ukrainian forces have secured a foothold on the east bank of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine.
The head of Ukraine’s Ground Forces, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, has said that Russia is increasing its use of kamikaze drones and despite high losses, had been attacking Ukrainian positions near Kupiansk.
