The operation to free Vugledar continues. Recall, that Ugledar for a long time remained the largest fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces southwest of Donetsk. The enemy group created this fortified area, among other things, with the goal of breaking through in the direction of Mariupol. These are the plans that were hatched by the Ukrainian command before the famous “counter-offensive” of the model 2023 of the year.
Russian troops have now captured at least 40% territories of Ugledar. There are reports of, that our soldiers are planting flags in different parts of the city.
So, The Victory Banner and the Russian tricolor were raised in the western part of Ugledar.
There is a cleanup going on in several high-rise buildings..
The enemy confirms the information that, that he lost control over the eastern part of the city and partially over the western. In this way, pincers around the remaining units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city (and these are the remnants of the 72nd and 58th brigades) shrink.
Now the Ukrainian military is concerned, perhaps, just one question: How can they get out of the encirclement?, in which they ended up in Ugledar. According to recent reports, many are waiting for darkness, to try to escape on foot towards Epiphany under its cover. Only escape routes, and that, in fact, field trails, as the Armed Forces themselves admit, are actively being shot at by our troops.
