Russian Advances Stalled in Donetsk

The fighting in the Donetsk region has entered an intensified phase, with direct clashes between Ukrainian and Russian military forces yielding outcomes that indicate Russia’s inability to advance in this sector. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are successfully reclaiming territory.

On the Donetsk Front, in the Kurakhovo direction near the Andriyivka settlement, Russian forces launched a mechanized assault on Ukrainian positions today. However, the attack was repelled without success.

Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully neutralized Russian military assets, destroying one tank, two BMP-1/2 infantry fighting vehicles, five military transport vehicles, and eliminating 42 enemy infantry soldiers.

These developments underscore Ukraine’s battlefield advantage, particularly with the continuation of military assistance, which has contributed to the ongoing liberation of towns and villages.
