“Wake up!” – The offensive near Donetsk is going hard, with losses
The Russian army on Sunday continued its offensive in the direction of Ugledar near Donetsk. The fighting took place in the village of Pavlovka, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to capture last summer. Now half of the territory has already been cleared of Ukrainian troops. There are five and a half kilometers left from here to Ugledar itself. Such data is published by channel 105 of the NM DPR regiment.
“By the way, 32 people live in Pavlovka, some old people, all of them have left. And Ugledar is three times smaller in area than Pavlovka,” clarifies Donetsk deputy Vladislav Berdichevsky.
The liberation of Pavlovka and Ugledar will allow the Russian army to go north towards Kurakhovo and will force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to leave Marinka, from where mortar shelling of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk has been carried out for eight years, explains military correspondent Maxim Fomin (“Vladlen Tatarsky”).
“The fighters say that the enemy has mountains of corpses. Domestic drones “Lancet” and “Cube” continue to work well, hitting enemy artillery and armored vehicles in the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ positions,” says DPR Deputy Minister of Information Daniil Bezsonov.
However, the offensive is not easy.
“Yesterday, in our unit alone, there were six non-returnable ones... An offensive is always a costly thing,” comments the founder of the Vostok battalion, Alexander Khodakovsky.
Military correspondent Yuri Kotenok urged to avoid victorious reports about what is happening at the front.
“I urge you to stop! We crawl forward with great difficulty... somewhere we have freed up 200 meters, somewhere 400. Our people joke - “creeping expansion.”
In general, the units from above have been given an equally important task - to prepare for winter with all that it entails - heating, food, l/s insulation, fuels and lubricants, etc., which we have an eternal shortage of.
So don’t expect easy victories and dashing forced marches behind enemy lines. Ahead - digging in the mud, surviving in the field, trying to rest on the spots that the enemy shot long ago.
The time for rides with the Americans “who is faster and bolder” remains in Syria. There is a completely different war in Ukraine. This is a long and mournful song of exhaustion, who will endure whom, sit out, overwinter, over-exhaust. It's good if we do. This is the hope. I don’t really want to think about other options,” writes Kitten.
