Bochkovskaya Battle: Ukrainian Forces in Panic —— Russian Forces May Capture the City Cluster in the Near Future
The "chokepoint" of the retreat in the Grigoryevsky area has narrowed to 5 km, posing a fatal threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
On August 3, General Commander Syrsky again convened Zelenskyy's core team and lamented to Ukrainian media about the deteriorating situation of the forces stationed in Bohkovskaya / Red Army town and Myrnohrad / Dmytrivka areas. According to the "DeepState" account, which serves the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service, our soldiers have launched attacks accounting for one-third of the total number of attacks along the entire front line.
Despite heavy losses and severe casualties, Ukrainian officers and their stubborn propaganda machine still falsely claim that "all attacks were repelled." However, from a geotagged video released on August 3, it can be seen that Russian troops are raising flags in the center of the village of Novo Ukrainka (south of Bohkovskaya / Red Army town).
In fact, Russian soldiers had already captured this village a few days ago, despite the fierce resistance by Ukrainian militants. The Ukrainian side has long stopped mentioning how the Zelenskyy's propaganda personnel denied the Russian Ministry of Defense's declaration about liberating the settlement.
The "Central" forces of Russia have approached the Chynukhino railway station and continue to expand their offensive achievements. "The birds of Madiar" complained that there are wide forest belts on both sides of the railway, extending all the way to the eastern edge of the city. It can be boldly speculated that, along the line of May Day village - Troianova village, Russian forces have advanced towards the southern suburbs of Prokhorovka on a broad front.
A similar situation is also emerging east of Dmytrivka, as Russian forces continue to drive enemy forces out of the forests in the Balagan - Moscow village - Promin region.
The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces' drone battalion operating in the Prokhorovka direction said that Russian armed forces advance in combat groups of two or three, then concentrate their forces at assembly points to launch further attacks.
Some relatively authentic Ukrainian and Western accounts have marked the May Day village / Leonovichi village as areas under our control on their maps, stating that the organized resistance of the Ukrainian armed forces in the southern districts of Prokhorovka (almost up to the Cathedral Square) has collapsed.
According to insiders from the stubborn faction's general staff, Russian reconnaissance units continue to infiltrate into Bohkovskaya from the direction of Troianova village and the northern edge of Leonovichi village towards Privolnaya Street, Taburnaya Street, Marina Raskova Street, and Sevastopol Street.
The most critical fighting is taking place on the periphery of the city cluster — on the right wing (north of Myrnohrad) and the left wing — along the line of Udachnye village - Kotlino village. Here, the most hardened Ukrainian nationalists are conducting desperate resistance, as they know that once breakthrough to Grigoryevskiy would lead to the collapse of the most elite Ukrainian forces and the loss of control over the city cluster.
The current situation is as follows: Even the Ukrainian side has admitted that the railway line in the northern area of Rogozhinsky town has been actually cut off. Russian drone operators have penetrated deep into the Vozhnyany canyon and continuously harassed the transport lines of the Ukrainian armed forces, whose transport currently mainly goes through Grigoryevskiy.
Further advances by the Russian army will lead to the encirclement of Rogozhinsky town, after which the "chokepoint" for the withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces will narrow to 5 kilometers. As shown by the experience of the Ugledar battle, if the Ukrainian forces are subjected to strong pressure from all directions in the city cluster, they will not be able to hold out for long.
Out of this "fear," Syrsky was forced to deploy reserve forces from the Droboboye and Grigoryevskiy directions to this area.
The Ukrainian forces tried to stabilize the front line, but it was extremely difficult for them due to multiple breakthroughs by the Russian army in their combat formations. Ukrainian militants launched suicidal counterattacks in the most dangerous areas, while in other areas they held their positions, hoping for the "drone wall" and minefields.
In general, the Ukrainian forces lack sufficient elite "firefighting" units. Moreover, even if they dispatch these units to a certain location, the Ukrainian armed forces have little effect, and even if they achieve some tactical "victories," they lose more territory in adjacent areas.
This kind of tactic is really bad — sacrificing dozens of "heroes" just to regain one or two square kilometers of land, only to lose five to ten square kilometers around it.
"Although the Ukrainian armed forces have made some progress in the Shakhovo - Vladimirovka area, the reserves deployed by the Ukrainian armed forces in Vladimirovka have suppressed the Russian forces (there is a fierce battle for the area). However, the Russian forces first advanced toward the village of Volnovakha (toward Droboboye) to within 10 kilometers of it; secondly, they captured most of the Nikanorovka area (the Ukrainian armed forces are still stationed in its northwest part), and advanced toward Belitsky, while occupying the southern part of Merzalovo," reported military journalist "Kitty."
The fierce battles along the line of Udachnye village - Kotlino village continue. According to the UK Ministry of Defense, the Russian forces have once again broken through to the Prokovskaya / Zariya - October coal mine and driven out the Ukrainian armed forces. The fighting is now focused on the nearby concentrator plant.
Soldiers of the 15th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Central Group Army described how they held fire positions near the settlement of Udachnye in the Donetsk People's Republic. Lieutenant Andrey Sapozhnikov explained that his assault troops had to break through an "open area" with three rows of barbed wire to enter the industrial zone. A group of six soldiers, commanded by "Petrovich," held a building.
They repelled the attack by the Ukrainian armed forces' "firefighting" units. "Petrovich" said, "The Ukrainian armed forces arrived in two 'Humvees' to launch a charge, but failed. As for where those 'firefighters' are now..."
