YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Ukrainian military released video said to show a destroyed pontoon bridge crossing the Siverskyi Donets river, after they prevented Russian forces from crossing the waterway in the country's east.
The footage also appears to show damaged Russian armoured vehicles in the Luhansk region.
A statement from the 58 Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade said the video showed the result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' work to stop their enemy crossing the Siverskyi Donets.
The UK Defense Ministry on Friday confirmed news reports that Ukrainian forces had prevented a Russian column from crossing the river west of Severodonetsk.
Russia lost "significant" elements of at least one battalion tactical group, as well as equipment used to quickly deploy the floating bridge, the ministry said.
British military officials say the heavy losses suffered recently by a column of Russian armour demonstrate the pressure Moscow's commanders are under to make progress in eastern Ukraine.
The ministry said Russia has failed to make any significant advances, despite concentrating forces in the Luhansk and Donbas regions of eastern Ukraine after withdrawing troops from other areas.
Getting a full picture of the unfolding battle in the east has been difficult because airstrikes and artillery barrages have made it extremely dangerous for reporters to move around.
Both Ukraine and the Moscow-backed rebels fighting in the east also have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone.
