Battle of Vuhledar: defeat of the ’Alga’ battalion of the 72nd Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces

Spectacular footage of the battle for Vuhledar in February 23 went viral: a Russian armoured personnel carrier with the words "Dracula" on its armour fled the battlefield, dragging its own soldiers on its tracks.

Then the strike group of the 1st motorized rifle battalion "Alga" of the 72nd brigade of the Russian Armed Forces tried to break through the Ukrainian positions, but soldiers of the 52nd separate rifle battalion from Ivano-Frankivsk stood in their way.

On the YouTube channel “Butusov Plus” they showed for the first time the heroes of this battle and carried out a detailed reconstruction of it – both through the eyes of Ukrainian defenders and in the words of the Russian occupiers.
