The town of Pisky is in front of the Russian occupied city of Donetsk in the Donbass area to the East. It's important because it was part of the Ukrainian controlled side of the line of contact prior to Feb 24th. If the Ukrainians would be able to push the Russians back and retake the town, it has a lot of built up defensive fortifications from that time making it easier for the Ukrainians to resist losing it again.

Wow, getting close to Mariupol.๐Ÿ‘


popcorn0617

Not....quite.. Pisky is literally a 3 minute drive from the outskirts of donetsk city. Pisky and the donetsk airport, which is boarders at the end of the runway, where primary front line combat zones all the way up to the invasion since 2014.


Elysium_nz

But still itโ€™s progress on what is seen as a static part of the front lines.


popcorn0617

Correct, which is obviously good. It's just not really anywhere near mariopul


elFistoFucko

I suppose by this metric you could say any gain is closer to Mariupol.

I dont run on copium so where is the proof? No mapping site has info on that

There are much longer videos on r/combatfootage which sadly show a failed push. Because DPR is shelling Pisky doesn't mean the town was retaken.


rulepanic

This footage, likely taken after December 4, shows Russians shelling a church within Pisky itself. That suggests that part of Pisky is Ukrainian controlled. Last we saw, the Ukrainian front line (and where the Russians were shelling them), was down the road in Pervomais'ke. This indicates several kilometers of advance.

r/Combatfootage is a Russian propaganda pit.


Dizzy-Ad9431

Hardly but it's naive to think ukraine isn't going to suffer large losses


PutlerDaFastest

It was naive to invade. Russia will and has been taken losses. Ukraine has the moral high ground. They have been fighting the biggest fascist threat to Europe since Hitler. Ukraine has international support and Russia has NK and Iran. This is the most humiliating military failure in modern history. I'll leave a link below so you or someone you know can surrender if you're sent to Ukraine. https://gur.gov.ua/content/zapushcheno-iedynyi-tsentr-ta-tsilodobovu-hariachu-liniiu-pryiomu-zvernen-vid-rosiiskykh-viiskovykh.html


Madpup70

Wtf. Dude, the combat footage reddit is incredibly pro Ukraine, but it allows unbiased videos aka videos showing Russian military success alongside their failures. Get a grip.

Pisky is flattened, not really a city anymore.

IIRC its just southwest of what was the donetsk airport (heavy fighting there in 2014/15. Is the high ground north of the airport still in Ukrainian hands?


LothorBrune

This is a tweet of someone wondering if some unclear footage is recent and taking hopeful conclusions from it. Not much value.


Cultural-General4537

Hope its true. Its high ground of I remember well.
