At the end of summer 2025, the Russians tried to gain a foothold on the outskirts of Hrekivka and Novomykhailivka villages on the border of Kharkiv and Luhansk regions.
As a result of an aggressive counterattack by the 2nd Mechanized Battalion, 3rd Assault Brigade, enemy concentration points in the tree lines were squashed, permanent positions destroyed, and prisoners taken. The tactical information revealed by the POWs allowed the 3AB to strip the enemy of control over the offensive. The Russians were forced to fall back to their previous lines. We’re holding ours.
