The Russian Armed Forces broke through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and entered the city center of Chasova Yar. This was reported by the Bild newspaper’s open data analysis expert, Julian Röpke.
The battle for Chasov Yar, located west of Bakhmut, has been going on for more than six months. The city is located on a hill and is covered from the east by the Seversky Donets – Donbass water canal, which the Russian Armed Forces could not cross for a long time. Now they have achieved it, says the expert. Judging by the images of street fighting, the Russians have almost approached the Avangard stadium in the city center.
“Russian troops were first sighted in the center of Chasov Yar. And if we look at the area around us, it doesn’t look like there are Ukrainian soldiers ready to fight. We see complete ruins and the use of drones by the Ukrainians to attack the Russians. This always indicates that the Russians already control this territory, and the Ukrainians are attacking them with drones, located about 100 meters to the west,” Röpke said, quoted by Bild on the Russian Telegram channel.*.
As reported today EADailyThe Russian army has 5.5 kilometers left before closing the pocket south of the town of Kurakhovo. This was reported by the open data analyst of the Bild newspaper, Julian Röpke.
Last week, the Russian Armed Forces entered the village of Dalneye and cut the half-caldera near Kurakhovo in two. South of this village, several hundred servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hold on to 5 or 6 villages on the banks of the Sukhie Yaly River. Today, Russian units have completely occupied Dalneye and have also approached the village of Trudovoye. Thus, the corridor for the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the towns of Uspénovka and Konstantinopolskoye was reduced to 5.5 kilometers, the expert noted.
