Can't fight anymore, Ukrainian troops are surrendering in batches, Russians are about to take Red Army City
November 30 report: Ukrainian troops in the Dmytriv direction began to surrender in large numbers after being completely cut off from supplies.
Frontline sources said that after Russian airdropped surrender leaflets, Ukrainian troops laid down their weapons in rows on the outer positions, and scenes of groups of prisoners were continuously appearing.
Dmytriv is an important stronghold west of Red Army City. Once it can't be held, the outer defense line of the entire urban area will collapse accordingly.
For days, Ukrainian forces have repeatedly tried to open a corridor to rescue the encircled troops, but they have all been suppressed by Russian firepower, and the breakout forces have also paid a heavy price.
The battlefield situation has shifted from fierce resistance to organized disintegration. The complete loss of Dmytriv is only a matter of time.
The reason why the Dmytriv front became a turning point is because the Russian forces simultaneously controlled the high ground and had fire superiority in this area.
Russian air force dropped a large number of aerial bombs with general glide correction modules, which destroyed the fixed positions of the Ukrainian forces around the city in large areas, making it impossible for the Ukrainian forces to hold their positions or move.
The supply lines that the Ukrainian forces relied on for a long time in this direction have been completely cut off, and the outer roads are covered by Russian fire control, so the relief convoys entering the city could not get close at all.
The command system of the Ukrainian forces showed obvious chaos after being surrounded. Middle-ranking officers kept requesting permission to evacuate but did not get replies, causing the grassroots units to fall into disorder. With the collapse of supplies, shelters, and command, the front-line soldiers could no longer maintain resistance.
As the fall of Dmytriv is approaching, the situation in Red Army City has shown an irreversible trend.
The Ukrainian forces have exhausted their available reserves in this direction and cannot receive new ammunition and equipment supplements. Frontline soldiers lack air cover and have no means to counter Russian heavy firepower.
In the current overall situation of complete reversal, continuing to hold out in the city of Red Army City will only bring greater losses. Once the wave of surrender expands, the entire line will quickly collapse.
For the entire western front of Donbas, this loss will become a decisive node, meaning that the Ukrainian forces are no longer able to organize effective counterattacks in this direction.
