Details: The brigade reported that the Russian forces launched an unsuccessful assault on Mala Tokmachka using a composite motorcycle platoon. Despite changing tactics and employing technical innovations, the Russians were defeated before they reached the settlement, which Russian propaganda has claimed for the past year and a half to be under Russian control.

According to the Ukrainian military, several Russian motorised rifle regiments and brigades sent their troops into the assault at an unusual time. Instead of attacking at dawn or dusk, the assault began at 18:00 on 16 June, in broad daylight and with full visibility.
