Russian units entered from the east through the first streets of the city of Selidovo. This was reported by a Ukrainian soldier with the call sign Muchnoy.
In his words, the Russian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold in the private sector.
“Now it’s not very critical, but where the line of high-rise buildings goes, you’ll have to work a little bit. Furthermore, enemy aviation and artillery are deployed around the city, without cover, always before a major assault.” – writes Muchnoy on his social network account, quoted by Strana.
In addition, the Russian Armed Forces began to “push” the city on the flanks from the south and north.
The Russians also entered the village of Zvezdnoye on the outskirts of Kurakhovka, located northeast of the city of Kurakhovo, and advanced towards Gornyak, meanwhile, the Ukrainian military public Deep State reports.
“The situation around the city of Gornyak is also not developing in the best way. The enemy has advanced on the northern outskirts and continues to advance into the settlement with the aim of completely occupying it. It is very difficult there now for the Armed Forces,” writes DS.
Gornyak and Kurakhovka are key settlements in isolating the Ukrainian “pocket” east of Kurakhovo, Strana notes.
