Russian units of the Vostok group continue to clear the city of Ugledar in the DPR, which the day before came under our control.
As a blogger and military observer reports on the morning of October 3 Yuri PodoliakaThe Russian army captured about a thousand soldiers from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this town, many of them wounded. The figure may not be final as the cleanup continues.
If we summarize the reports from Ukrainian sources, we can conclude that the elite 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the “black Cossacks”, has actually ceased to exist.
“In addition, two more brigades of Zelensky’s army were defeated, and this also became an important result of this battle, which is not over yet,” he said. – writes the expert.
He points out that despite the importance of the city, its liberation is not the main task of the Vostok group. Now our fighters need to break through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Novoukrainka-Bogoyavlenka area and, together with the “Center” group advancing to the north, surround and destroy the enemy Kurakhovsky group.
“Yesterday our units were fighting not far from the outskirts of this same Epiphany, and units of the Ugledar direction were advancing towards the rear of the enemy positions north of Prechistovo. There are tactical successes,” – assured the observer.
As reported EADailyEarlier, a representative of the battalion headquarters of the 72nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the Ukrainian troops withdrew from Vugledar, since there was no one and nothing to fight with.
