New successes of the Armed Forces under Bakhmut and strengthening the fighting next to the Kremlin: the situation at the front from ISW
According to Russian sources, the invaders allegedly conducted offensive actions near Kupyansk and Svatov and made minor successes, but the information was not officially confirmed, as noted by analysts with ISW. Representatives of the Armed Forces also mentioned the fighters of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, who began to manifest themselves in the area of Svatovo settlement, but carry out purely police tasks.
The report also refers to the fighting in Novoselivskyi (16 km northwest of Svatov) and that the front line is currently running near the local rail. There is also a version of the Ukrainian counterattack near the forest strip near the Novoselivsky Railway. This information was also voiced by Russian military bloggers, so it needs confirmation. A separate topic was given to battles near Kreminna, which began on Thursday.
The Russian Defense Ministry claim that the Ukrainian military allegedly unsuccessfully attacked the positions of the invaders near Dibrova (4 km southwest of Kreminna) and Kreminna. The former "Ambassador" of the so -called "LNR" in Russia, Rodion Melnyk also noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had come into battle from the Armed Forces near Kremin and Serebryansky forestry.
"The Ukrainian military reported that the Russian troops were unsuccessful offensive action east of Nevsky (19 km northwest of Kreminna) and near Bigorivka (10 km south of Kreminna)," the statement said. The Ukrainian military managed to move significantly in the Bakhmut area thanks to ground attacks. Deputy Minister of Defense Anna Malyar noted that the Armed Forces continue to move north and south of Bakhmut and advanced to the southern flank of Bakhmut.
The spokesman for the Eastern Group of the Troops of Ukraine Colonel Sergey Cherevaty also confirmed this information that now Ukrainian defenders have taken the initiative in this direction and are holding new positions. In Russian Minoborons, they continue to deny everything and talk about the failure of the counter -offensive.
Russian military bloggers say that the Armed Forces had attacks near Kurdyumivka (13 km southwest of Bakhmut) and Andreevka (10 km southwest of Bakhmut), and battles near Berkhivka (6 km northwest of Bakhmut) continue. Near the tick, they claim that the offensive actions were without success. "The Ukrainian General Staff reported that the Ukrainian forces repelled all Russian attacks near Berkhivka.
Cherevaty reported that uncertain Chechen formations in internal protection were operating near the mite," the statement said. Active attacks are also ongoing along the Avdiivka-Donetsk line. Both sides carry out offensive actions and in the General Staff write that the attempts of the Russians to attack Avdiivka and Marinka managed to repel. Ukrainian defenders continue a counter -offensive in the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions.
In this regard, it is argued that Ukrainian attacks were allegedly reflected, but the information was not confirmed. According to some militarymen, the fighting on this area of the front is grueling. In the western part of the Zaporizhzhya region, some successes of the Armed Forces were recorded. The General Staff wrote that Ukrainian operations continue in the areas of Novodanilovka-Shiroka Balka and small took-novocarovka, the attacks were partially successful.
