Pokrovsk-Kurakhovo Direction: Significant Successes of the Russian Armed Forces

Situation as of 9:00 am on August 31, 2024

In recent weeks, Russian forces have achieved significant successes both towards Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo.

The enemy has been driven out of about two dozen settlements, and some, judging by the footage of objective control, were liberated without prolonged battles. The videos with the installation of flags more often record relatively minor destruction, indicating a relatively rapid retreat of the enemy.

However, it is impossible to speak of the collapse of the front line and even less of an "easy stroll". Ukrainian formations are resisting, trying to delay the liberation of Donbas.

▪️ Fighting continues in Hrodivka. At the same time, rumors have been circulating on the Internet for the second day about the exit of Russian reconnaissance groups already to the outskirts of Myrnohrad - the reports about the capture of Mykolaivka by Russian troops speak in favor of this.

▪️ The situation to the west of Novohrodivka is still shrouded in the "fog of war", but the fighting continues behind Selidovo. The advance groups of Russian assault troops are already operating in the area of the City Park and south in the area of Nahorna Street.

▪️ To the south, there are battles for Ukrainsk and Lisovka, and the latter, according to preliminary data, has already come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. The neighboring Halytsynivka and Dolinivka, according to incoming information, also came under the control of Russian troops by the end of August 30, after which battles began for Zhelanne Pershe. At the same time, there are no footage of objective control yet, due to which such rapid advancement seems too high.

▪️ But there is no doubt about the control of the Russian Armed Forces over the neighboring Karlivka. During the day, footage with the flags of Russia and its units appeared from several key points of the settlement, and by the evening the capture of the Krasnohvardiiske Filtration Station by the Russian Armed Forces was confirmed.

Vremivka Direction: Advance North of Urozhayne and Pryyutne

Situation as of 11:00 on August 31, 2024

In the Vremivka direction, where public activity of the parties has practically subsided after the completion of the battle for Urozhayne and Staromaiorske, against the background of reports from other directions, there is also some activation of the actions of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️North of Urozhayne and in the forest belts to the west, Russian assault troops were able to advance slightly further at the beginning of August, and during the month there were battles to the east, as a result of which several strongholds in the forest belts came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️In the area of Pryyutne, the Russian troops at least drove the enemy out of the strongholds in the triangle of the Kutsaya and Hrushevataya gullies. Interestingly, in February of this year, the Russian Armed Forces had already occupied (https://t.me/rybar/57487) these positions, but apparently they were lost since then.

Judging by the footage, the enemy, who retreated to reserve positions, was subjected to several UAV attacks and withdrew even further with losses. At the same time, it is an open question whether the Russian assault troops managed to occupy the positions, and whether this was even the task.
