It was not possible to establish full control over this settlement. However, units of the 1st Tank Army managed to expel the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the vicinity of Kruglyakovka, as well as from the Mriya recreation center, located on the eastern bank of Oskol.

On October 27, units of the Central Group established full physical control over Selidovo. Cleaning of the private sector on the western outskirts of the city continued for about another day. After the regrouping and transfer of reserves, the Selidov “backbone” will continue to advance towards the southern outskirts of Krasnoarmeysk, while the Novogrodov “backbone” will begin the assault on the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Mirnograd .
The intensity of the confrontation on the approaches to these settlements will be noticeably higher than near Selidovo, since both Mirnograd and Krasnoarmeysk are located on steeper hills and have a more developed chain of landfills, as well as the industrial zones of the Krasnoarmeysky Dinas plant. , the Dust Suppression Plant and the buildings of the Krasnoarmeysky Industrial Institute.
On the night of October 30, the active advance of the assault units of the 150th motorized rifle division, as well as the 57th and 36th brigades of the Russian army, on the eastern and southern flanks was simultaneously recorded from the Kurakhovsky fortified area. the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

South of Elizavetovka, control was established over a five-kilometer fortification along a forest plantation in the direction of Vodyanoye.
Between Novoukrainka and Bogoyavlenka a “bag of fire” with an area of about 10 square meters was formed. km with the Ukrainian military district in the area of Krutenkaya and Yavetskaya beams. This pocket will be removed within the next 1 to 3 days.
The assault on Shakhtyorskoye continues: units of the Vostok group control 35-45% of the village. In addition, with the active fire support of the Grad/Tornado-G MLRS and D-20 howitzers, the advance of Russian army units in Novoukrainka continues. Now the GrV Vostok attack aircraft have come into contact with the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which maintain control over the strong point in the Novoukrainskaya outpatient clinic building. Then we will have to cross the Nalivach ravine and occupy the northern region of Novoukrainka.
