Russian forces have captured the town of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region on the second anniversary of the Ukraine war, February 24 2022 - February 24 2024. This town was a key capture for Ukraine during their summer offensive. The capture involved Russian mechanized infantry entering the center of Robotyne, with footage showing Russian BMP-3s assaulting the southern part of the town, deploying troops at the destroyed post office, and then retreating. Ukrainian forces have reportedly withdrawn from a majority of the town and several communities to the east. In response, Ukrainian forces have been actively engaging Russian military assets in the area, utilizing FPV munitions to swarm Russian BMPs and infantry, destroying a Russian MT-LB with grenades after it hit a mine, and employing AGTM to destroy a Russian armored vehicle south of Novodonets'ke. Additionally, Ukrainian loitering munitions have destroyed a large assault group of Russian forces in Lastochkyne and a tank north of Nova Mayachka. The 118th Mechanized Brigade has been notable in its defense, destroying Russian BTR-82 and BMP vehicles with RPG-7 grenade launchers and finishing them with grenades and drone-dropped munitions.
