On September 1, a spokesperson for the Dnipro Strategic Group (formerly the Khortytsia Strategic Group) said, "The Ukrainian army has stopped the Russian advance near Dobropillya, part of the Russian forces' supply lines have been cut, and their attempts to launch two pincers have been severed. Although some Russian forces are still hiding in the forests, their end is just a matter of time because they have been cut off from their main supply lines and larger units."
The U.S. think tank Institute for the Study of War stated that the credibility of the spokesperson from the Khortytsia (Dnipro) Strategic Group has always been low in the past...
According to satellite fire images (this analysis comes from photos taken on August 31), it is likely that the Ukrainian army has already entered the village of Kucheryivka. In addition to the 12th Brigade's 2nd Battalion and the 14th Brigade's 3rd Battalion fighting desperately in the west, the 93rd Brigade is also attacking westward in the east, with its forces including the 1st Mechanized Battalion, the 2nd Mechanized Battalion, the Reconnaissance Battalion, the Tank Battalion, and the Artillery Group. In recent days, this unit cleared Russian soldiers in a valley south of the village of Haruzhke (48.521286, 37.325449), forcing the Russian 132nd Motor Rifle Brigade to abandon an area they had occupied for about two weeks, as well as the 206 Hill west of Toretsk village.
The previously breached Russian areas have now been reduced to a forest and a building northeast of Novoshakhov, where an estimated 40 Russian soldiers are stationed.
