Russian forces break through the northern defense line of Zaporizhzhia, eastern combat groups advance rapidly

【Putin's Latest Press Conference (13): Russian Forces Have Broken Through the Northern Front Line of Zaporozhye】

On November 27, 2025, in Bishkek time, Russian President Vladimir Putin answered questions from reporters at a press conference following the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit:

Our other unit, the Eastern Operational Group, has broken through a key enemy defense line and is advancing rapidly. It is located at the border between the Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regions. I repeat, the progress is very fast.

Putin added:

Gulyapole is an important logistics point. We are now approaching 1.5 to 2 kilometers from Gulyapole. Whether they accept it now or not in the future, they will definitely go further. What does this mean? It means that the Eastern forces have almost bypassed the entire defensive area of the Ukrainian armed forces from the north. The opponent is the Dnipro Group, and the Eastern Group is bypassing them from the north. This may lead to the collapse of the frontline in this area.
