Day 735.
Today there are many updates from Kurachowe direction
Here, in order to scope Kurachowe, which is the main fortress and logistics center in the region, Russian forces conduct offensive operation along the east side of the front line
The reason why Russian forces moved their activity from the confederate line close Wuhledar to the east line close Nowomichailiwka is the topography of the region.
Instead of trying to break the Wuhledar fortress located in the hills, Russian forces opened attack axes along these hills to alleviate tactical inconveniences and bypass Wuhledar from the north.
This should let for coherent, faster movement through fields towards Kurachowe
However, Russian forces rapidly encountered a powerful terrain obstacle in the form of a long line of settlements, with the village of Nowomichailiwka being the first on their way.
Frontal attacks on the settlement yielded limited results, and Russian advancement was rapidly halted
The main reason why Russian forces were hard to displace Ukrainians from the village utilizing violent force was due to the fact that Ukrainians had much better logistics.
This allowed Ukrainians to supply comparatively easy supplies of ammunition from close villages and to conduct counterattacks as shortly as the force of Russian assault units had sufficiently decreased following continuous operations.
Russian commanders were forced to re-evaluate the situation and find a way to weaken their defence capabilities Ukraine in this region.
To accomplish this, the Russian forces set themselves the goal of cutting Ukrainian supplies to the village by attacking the flank.
The most intense clashes took place on the northern flank.
The main goal of Russian forces in this area is to capture the village of Pobieda and usage it to increase its logistical capacity to accelerate the pace of the attack on the northern flank and then cut off Ukrainian supply roads west of Nowomichailiwka.
Russian forces are trying to capture I've been eating for over 2 years.
The main problem facing the Russian forces earlier was Ukrainian counterattacks with Marinki
However, after fresh Ukrainian troops withdrew from Marinka more than 2 months ago, Russian forces effectively secured their flanks and could launch an attack on Pobieda from a much more tactically advantageous position.
While earlier the Russians had to attack her from the fields, exposing themselves to mines and crossfire, now the Russians can usage the road to fast mechanized attacks straight from Marinka.
Russian sources reported that in order to weaken Ukrainian defence inside the village, in addition to average artillery, Russian forces besides engaged dense thermobaric artillery systems
After the artillery preparations were completed, the Russians began mechanized attacks.
Geolocalised combat recordings published by Russian sources show how Russian armoured combat vehicles usage device guns to suppress Ukrainian fire during the Russian infantry landing.
When the infantry landed, an armored combat car left the scene to avoid Ukrainian SPK and drone fire.
It wasn't the first Russian attack, but it wasn't the last.
Ukrainians understood the importance of maintaining this position and resisted Russian attacks as much as possible.
However, after respective days of uninterrupted clashes, Russian forces managed to establish a limited presence on the east outskirts of the village
According to Russian sources, Russian forces managed to occupy farms located on the east side of the road.
Digging on the outskirts simplified further offensive actions as they could (opposies) supply fire support and strengthen mechanized attacks from the north.
As a result, 1 of the Russian strike groups managed to effectively usage this additional fire support and scope the northern part of the village, and later besides to the southern, where they placed the red flag.
Ukrainian sources confirmed the presence of Russians, but noted that there was a anticipation of counterattack
Russian analysts came to the same conclusion and stated that Ukrainians would surely effort to reconstruct control of this tactically crucial settlement in the close future.
The reason why Russian forces were in difficulty is twofold
