Why has Russia been trying for so long to capture the village of Mala Tokmachka, and still unsuccessfully? Audio version of the explainer

Russian propagandists regularly talk about the assault on the village of Mala Tokmachka in the Zaporizhzhia region. A video compilation of statements about the village’s imminent capture quickly became a meme: for several months in a row, "war correspondents" have been calling Mala Tokmachka "almost cleared." When and how did the front reach this settlement? And why did the village become so important for the Russian army? Listen to Meduza’s explainer, and you can read the text and view the map here.
