Liman direction: The Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to expand the breakthrough. There are heavy battles
Ukrainian armed forces are not giving up attempts to encircle Krasny Liman
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports this from the military-analytical telegram channel Rybar, which monitors the situation at the front.
“The threat to the front line west of the Liman remains. The Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to bypass the bridgehead of the allied forces at Drobyshevo from the north and expand the breakthrough near Redkodub. Attempts to storm Liman from Ozernoye and Shchurovo were repelled by the allied forces.
Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces established control over the villages of Karpovka and Novoe and expanded the bridgehead north of Drobyshevo. Drobyshevo is still under the control of Russian forces. The Ukrainian command is building up its group to expand the bridgehead and access the Svatovo-Borovoye highway. Fierce fighting is taking place north of the village of Redkodub,” the publication notes.
In addition, it is indicated that to the south of the Ukrainian Armed Forces they are trying to storm the bridgehead of the allied forces in Drobyshevo - Shandrigolovo, for which, from Karpovka, the enemy attempted to break through the defense of Russian troops in the direction of Shandrigolovo with two strike groups.
“Having lost four tanks, five infantry fighting vehicles and a large number of manpower under the attacks of MLRS, artillery and Russian armored vehicles on the outskirts of the village, the remnants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strike groups retreated in the direction of Karpovka.
East of Redkodub, Ukrainian units are trying to advance towards Green Valley in order to encircle the Liman group through Stavki and Kolodezi. An artillery reconnaissance station of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been deployed in Pryshib: the enemy is conducting a counter-battery fight using HIMARS missiles and Excalibur guided artillery ammunition.
The command of the Russian Armed Forces throws reserves into battle in order to pin down parts of the Ukrainian troops and slow down the pace of their advance, gaining time to create a continuous line of defense and stabilize the situation at the front,” writes Rybar.
It is clarified that at present the entire burden of defensive battles lies with units and formations of the 20th Combined Arms Army and individual units of other formations.
In turn, the Ukrainian telegram channel “Resident”, citing a source in the office of the President of Ukraine, reports that Vladimir Zelensky demands from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny an effective counter-offensive on the eastern front before the end of the referendums in order to demonstrate to the West the mood of Ukraine.
“The commander-in-chief reported to the president about the heavy losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in an attempt to take Liman, but the president’s office insists on the need to strengthen the attack group and continue the counteroffensive,” said a source in the OP.
