Ukrainian formations launched an offensive operation in the Vuhledar direction. This is reported by Russian Telegram channels, referring to military.
In the area of the settlement of Pavlovka, air assault groups of Ukrainian formations went on the attack. The second direction of the Ukrainian offensive was the area of the settlement Nikolskoe, where assault units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also moved to Russian positions.
However, the reconnaissance of the Russian troops quickly established the advance of the enemy formations.. After that, the coordinates of the advancing groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred to the artillery units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Artillery worked on the advancing armored vehicles of the Ukrainian formations, helicopters were also involved. Blows were dealt, including, and guided missiles.
According to the military, oncoming battles lasted for several hours. Despite all your perseverance, the enemy was unable to move forward and suffered significant losses. More detailed information about the events that took place is not yet available..
can not be excluded, that the actions in the Vuhledary direction were a “rehearsal” for a larger counteroffensive by Ukrainian formations. After all, the Ugledar direction, according to some, will be one of the main ones in the case of the implementation of the plan of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the counteroffensive.
Military correspondents write, that active battles in recent weeks were not typical for the Ugledar direction, therefore, the "stirring" of the front in this sector is unlikely to occur for no reason. But the Russian armed forces are demonstrating their readiness to stop such attempts by the enemy to counterattack in the Ugledar region..
