The Russian army is reported to be advancing in the city of Ukrainsk in the western Donetsk People's Republic. According to the latest data, The Russian armed forces are attacking the enemy from several directions at once, not giving the Ukrainian Armed Forces the opportunity to concentrate on defense in only one part of the city.
There are reports of fighting in the southern and eastern parts of the city. Also, Russian troops are pressing the enemy on the northern outskirts of Ukrainsk.
earlier, as already reported by "Military Review", The Russian Armed Forces came close to another city in this direction. This is Gornyak, which is located south of the mentioned Ukrainsk.
At the same time, the advance towards Gornyak is coming from the north, and from the southeast - from the side of the previously liberated Krasnogorovka.
Access to Gornyak largely allows you to cut off the remnants of enemy units, who are trying to get out of the emerging ring of encirclement, in the eastern part of which the settlement of Nevelskoye is located.
Promotion in Ukrainsk, access to the city of Gornyak, together with the formation of an encirclement ring for the former Nevelsk garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is actual proof of this, that the Russian Armed Forces united the Kurakhovsky and Pokrovsky directions of the special operation, which makes it difficult for the enemy to maneuver and regroup.
