The Russian forces, after cutting the T0515 road between Rogozhsk and Bilitsk, continued to push westward, aiming to capture Hryshyno. Now, this town located northwest of Red Army City is considered the "key point" of the Red Army City-Dimitrov campaign. Because if the Russians capture Hryshyno, they will also cut off the lifeline of Red Army City to the west - the E50 highway. At that time, not only will Red Army City-Dimitrov be unable to receive supplies, but even retreating would become a luxury.
The Russian forces advancing further north of Red Army City, that is, attacking in the direction of Dobropillya, are no longer closely related to the Red Army City campaign. This is part of the Russian efforts to block the twin cities - Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, as well as an attack towards the west towards Dnipropetrovsk.
