Situation west of Avdivka and northwest of Donetsk city: Russian Army captured all the eastern defenses of Umanske and captured half of the village. In addition, troops reached Yasnobrodivka-Neatilove road taking control over a series of positions there. Moreover, Russian forces continue reducing the salient south of Pervomaiske.
Situation west of Donetsk city: During the last 48 hours Russian Army made new advances in Krasnogorivka:
- From northern axis troops reached Central hospital of Marinka and agricultural school.
- From southern axis the garages east of Heolohichna street were taken. In addition, troops entered in Lomonosova and Maiakovskoho streets taking control over some of the high buildings of the microdistrict. Currently Russians are advancing eastwards along Sovietska street.
Only 700 meters remain between the northern and southern groups. As a result, Ukrainian Army began the withdrawal from the trench systems.
Although there is still no physical encirclement of the eastern zone, the Russian army has fire control over all escape routes. Ukrainian troops are having difficulty leaving their positions. We are likely to see surrenders there.
