The Russian Ministry of Defense's news website announced on August 6 that yesterday afternoon, the Russian army completely liberated the village of January in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
The Russian Telegram channel "Military Chronicle" reported that 37 members of the British Special Air Service (SAS) special forces were surrounded by Russian special forces in Ochakiv on the right bank of Kherson and were all killed after an attack. This information has not yet been officially confirmed by Ukraine or the United Kingdom.
On the direction of Red Army Village, the Russian military is conducting a full-scale encirclement of the Red Army Village-Dimitrov defensive fortress area.
A report by Russian frontline journalist Lisitsyn stated that the Russian military made significant progress near Rogozhinsk on the Red Army Village-Dimitrov axis. The Russian突击部队 have crossed the forest belts and advanced northward, cutting off the supply lines of major Ukrainian positions.
Currently, fighting is ongoing in the suburbs of Rogozhinsk and further north, with the Russian military reaching a rural road near Belyisk.
After cutting off the supply lines of the Ukrainian forces, the Russian military is now eliminating the remaining Ukrainian forces who are out of ammunition.
In the northern part of the Red Army Village-Dimitrov line, the vanguard units of the Russian military have approached Rubezhnoye and Zolotoye Kolodetz, located east of the main logistics hub of Dobropolye. Some assault units are now flanking Rogozhinsk from the northern flank and advancing beyond the roads.
On the southern front of the Red Army Village-Dimitrov line, Russian special forces have entered the southwest of the city of Red Army. There are records of attacks on Ukrainian forces from Zakhichnykov Street to the car market area.
The Russian military has achieved steady progress through blood and combat efforts. The Russian army is able to cut away the controlled areas of the Ukrainian forces piece by piece.
On the central front in the direction of Konstantinovka, the Russian military has expanded its control area outside Ivanopillya. The assault units are gradually approaching the main defense line of the Ukrainian forces, which are built along the forest belts around the village.
This morning, more than 10,000 Ukrainian troops from three battalions south of Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka) were blocked by the Russian military south of the Klyban-Bik Lake. The Russian military is continuously attacking them with artillery and drones.
However, it is still too early to assert that the Russian military has completely cut off the main supply lines of the Ukrainian forces on the eastern shore of the Klyban-Bik Lake. The Ukrainian military still controls several support points in the area, and without capturing these points, it will be difficult to achieve a complete encirclement of the Ukrainian forces south of the Klyban-Bik Lake.
On the western front of this direction, the Russian military has begun an offensive against Rusyniivka. The assault squads are advancing along the forest belts near the village, penetrating deep into the Ukrainian defense lines for nearly three kilometers. The Ukrainian military is trying to push the Russian forces back to their starting positions through drone strikes and artillery fire. Considering the situation on the front line near the Portavka area, the battle in the Rusyniivka area is likely to fully unfold in the coming days.
