Tolochyn (Dzerzhinsk) battle has ended, the Russian army not only completely occupied this city with a pre-war population of 31,000 people, but also expanded to the surrounding areas, especially the winding and snake-like Shcherbinyivka in the left flank of the encircling attack, which also means that the Russian army is about to reach the eastern end of the Kliban-Bik reservoir, completing the encirclement of the area south of the entire reservoir (a few days ago, the Russian army had already reached the western end of the Kliban-Bik reservoir, closing off the western side of the reservoir). For the Ukrainian army, it now needs to consider evacuating the Ukrainian troops south of the reservoir before the Russians close off the eastern end of the reservoir. If they don't evacuate, they will be surrounded by the Russians like a dumpling.

If the Ukrainian army in the area south of the entire reservoir is cleared by the Russians, the Russians could then quickly advance to the southern suburbs of Donetsk-Konstantinovka.
