Now the most fierce fighting continues in the Eastern direction – near Soledar, Bakhmut, Maryinka, Avdiivka. And also in the south – in Ugledar. If the enemy throws “mobiks” and troops of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR” into positions in the Kreminnaya area, Wagnerites and convicts in Bakhmut, then elite troops are thrown at Ugledar.
Ugledar is trying to capture the 135th and 40th brigades, marines, paratroopers – one of the most trained troops of the occupier. About thisChannel 24said the speaker of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty. According to him, the Russians also transferred motorized rifle units and artillery there.
The enemy is suffering heavy system losses
He remembered that about a month ago the invaders tried to concentrate their troops near Ugledar, when their 155th brigade was actually knocked out there. They even complained about this to the governor of Primorsky Krai.
This is one of the directions where they are trying to break through the defenses in order to go further to Pokrovsk, Kurakhovo, Dobropolye. And on the other hand, they are trying to take Bakhmut in order to reach Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. But the occupiers suffer heavy systemic losses every day,” the speaker noted.
Cherevaty stressed that even if the enemy has minor advances, they come at a very high price. After all, their 155th brigade is quite professional, well-trained, and after it was defeated, it was understaffed at the expense of several trained mobilized. But still, it will not restore the level at which this brigade entered the battle.
What's going on near Ugledar: watch the video According to him, the Russians are trying to find a weak spot along the entire front line and deplete our defense in order to completely capture the Donetsk and Luhansk regions – this is their main goal, and it does not change. And also to keep the so-called “corridor” in the Crimea and say that this was allegedly a priority.
Then they can somehow save their face – they allegedly “liberated” the peoples of the “DPR” and “LPR”, no matter how ridiculous it may be for us. Putin also mentioned that even Peter I captured Azov, and now it has become an inland sea of Russia, he stressed.
The speaker of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that the Russian authorities are trying to somehow justify incredible losses of personnel – already more than 126 thousand. As well as global isolation and the loss of their economy.
“Therefore, the Russians, like a wounded animal, are throwing all their strength, trying to take at least something, because they have nothing to present like a big trophy in this war,” Sergei Cherevaty noted.
The situation around Ugledar is important
- The situation around Ugledar remains tense. The Russians continue to send their elite troops there, because the settlement is very important to them. Fortunately, the enemy has not yet succeeded in capturing the city. Now all attacks are actually repelled, although fierce battles for the city continue.
- Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan noted that the Russian invaders need Vuhledar, in particular, in order to enter the rear of our Donetsk group, holding the front in area of Marinka and Avdiivka.
- Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War suggest that the localized attacks on Vuhledar and settlements in the Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions are likely to disperse the Armed Forces and create conditions. for the Russian offensive in the west of the Lugansk region.
