The forces of the Russian Eastern Group have shown strong offensive momentum, continuously breaking through Ukrainian defense lines in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, capturing settlements. The latest achievement is that the 37th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Eastern Group captured the village of Novozaporizhne south of Radysne, adding more than 14 square kilometers of controlled area. In the battle to capture Novozaporizhne, the Russians eliminated a company of the Ukrainian 110th Mechanized Brigade and destroyed over 14 pieces of Ukrainian equipment.
Previously, Radysne was located in Dnipropetrovsk region, with some streets located in Zaporizhzhia region; but now the newly captured village of Novozaporizhne is completely located in Zaporizhzhia region, but close to Dnipropetrovsk. Moreover, the 37th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade not only controls the village of Novozaporizhne, but also controls a 9 km long area along the Geychur River.
For three consecutive days, the Russian Eastern Group has occupied three villages in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, and these three villages are from south to north in Dnipropetrovsk region to Zaporizhzhia region.
Facing the reckless advance of the Russian Eastern Group in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, the Ukrainian army can no longer ignore it, otherwise the Geychur River defense line would be pierced again. Therefore, the Ukrainian command has dispatched the elite 225th Independent Assault Battalion, but this battalion did not take the first line of defense, its task was to prevent the retreat of the 110th Independent Mechanized Brigade on the first line of defense.
