While the Red Army City is drawing attention, the Russian forces are launching a large-scale offensive on other fronts! At the junction of the South Donetsk and Dnipro regions, the Russians have captured several towns. At the bend of the Vovcha River, the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 36th Army Corps captured the village of Iskra, taking over the entire area southeast of the river.
The 5th Guards Tank Brigade of the 36th Army Corps occupied the village of Malevka and then advanced to Volon. The 36th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Army Corps captured the town of Aleksandrodvor. The 36th and 29th Army Corps of the Eastern Military District have been advancing westward, with the current objective being Kymyshuva, and the subsequent target being the rear hub of the Ukrainian forces—Pokrovsk. After that, this Russian force will flank the southern hub of the Ukrainian forces—Khrylivka. The 5th Army Corps and the 35th Army Corps are conducting frontal attacks.
Julian Ropke, a journalist from the German newspaper Bild and an expert on the Ukraine-Russia issue, said that Ukraine had previously built anti-tank "dragon's teeth" concrete cone obstacles, anti-tank trenches, and fortifications. However, the biggest problem for the Ukrainian forces is the lack of infantry and troops, which has left them stretched thin along the entire front line, making it impossible to hold the Vovcha River and Volon River defenses.
