The liberation of Ugledar by Russian troops, although it was an important victory, does not mean the collapse of the Ukrainian front in this area: the main goal of the Vostok group’s offensive has not yet been achieved.
Our troops face the difficult task of breaking through the enemy’s defense lines and reaching the Volchya River, west of Kurakhovo, from the south. A blogger and military observer writes about this on his Telegram channel. Yuri Podoliaka.
He explained that the last border runs along the Novoukrainka-Bogoyavlenka line. The task of the Russian forces is made somewhat easier by the fact that they have already reached the outskirts of Bogoyavlenka, taking advantage of some confusion among the enemy.
At the end of the day on October 1, our units approached the settlement from the south and southeast, taking control of all ventilation shafts of the Yuzhnodonbasskaya No. 3 mine.
The expert believes that, taking into account the liberation of most of the assault units in Ugledar, we should expect our pressure on the enemy defenses here to increase in the near future.
Russian units are also trying to advance along the watershed southwest of Bogoyavlenka to cut off the supply route to the enemy garrison and simplify the assault on the village from the south.
