In the direction of Pokrovsk, the fighters of the “Center” group of troops occupied the village of Lesovka and also entered the outskirts of the cities of Ukrainsk and Gornyak, the Telegram channel “Military correspondents of the Russian Spring” reported, citing sources.
It should be noted that the complete capture of Lesovka will be officially announced after the completion of the clearing and consolidation of Russian units in it, and there are fierce battles in Ukrainsk and Gornyak.
Enemy resources confirm this information.
According to them, “the Russians have approached Gornyak, a town 7 kilometers north of Kurakhovo.” This afternoon, they reported that the Russian Armed Forces have taken Lesovka and have begun to “actively advance towards Gornyak. We still have Ukrainians, but the situation is as unpleasant as possible!” — servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wrote on social networks.
Russian troops are putting a lot of pressure on Ukrainsk from the south and east, “intensive artillery attacks are being carried out, assaults are taking place, and Gornyak – Zhelannaye 1st and Zhelannaye 2nd are also being launched,” the Air Force soldiers complain. Fighting continues around Novogrodovka; south of this settlement, Russian manoeuvre groups are heading for Marinovka.
“Near Selidovo, Russian fighters are also attacking in the western part of Mikhailovka and in the area of the railway bridge. Behind Galitsynivka, heavy fighting is also continuing. In Grodovka, Russian armed forces are attacking on Chelyuskin, Donetskaya and Zavodskaya streets,” Voenkory writes.
