Russian forces have completely broken through the Red Army City area, and have advanced into the suburbs outside the northern part of Red Army City. Only a small part of the Red Army City area remains under Ukrainian control. Moreover, Russian forces have also occupied large areas west and northwest of Red Army City, reaching the Goryachyino suburb.
Evidently, the Ukrainian forces in Red Army City and Dmytrivka are trapped. Although the Ukrainian State Intelligence Service sent some special forces to conduct a parachute assault using "Black Hawk" helicopters, this was a typical performance-oriented operation, with only about ten special forces soldiers having no effect at all. The most embarrassing thing for the Ukrainian forces was that these special forces soldiers were immediately killed upon landing.
In addition to the previous encirclement battle in Mariupol, subsequent operations have mostly been the "surround three sides, leave one open" approach, mainly because the Russian forces do not have a clear numerical advantage over the Ukrainian forces, and the Ukrainian forces have strong combat capabilities. However, now the Russian forces have launched encirclement battles in Red Army City and Kupiansk, indicating that the overall combat power of the Russian forces has significantly improved compared to the Ukrainian forces.
