Trench warfare on the Donetsk front is also a continuous exchange of artillery fire.
The two sides have entrenched themselves: the movements of the front are minimal: pending a repeatedly announced Ukrainian counter-offensive, the situation recalls that of the First World War.
In the Reuters video, a battery of self-propelled howitzers hammers Russian positions near Avdiivka. Three, four shots, then the mortar shells of the opposing forces arrive in response.
The “Dana” howitzers were delivered to Ukrainian forces by the Czech Republic in 2022, the battalion commander explains. To then add: “We are ready for a counter-offensive, but give us more ammunition”.
