The Gulyaevskaya Area Encirclement: Buryats in a Village Defeat an UAF Company, Becoming a Real Nightmare for the UAF
Over the past three days, "Eastern" Group Army fighters have liberated three populated areas; Syrsky is urgently deploying brigade-level forces to try to stop this offensive momentum.
Zelensky's claim that the UAF has "stabilized" the front line is being overturned by the new Russian military victories. This victory refers to the rapid offensive operation in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Yesterday, the village of Novopetrovsk (UAF calls it Ternovoye) in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was incorporated into the Russian security zone; the day before, the village of Sosnovka was also liberated. The Russian flag has been raised over these villages. Enemy observers had to admit the fact that another "fortress" has fallen, although they tried to hide it.
According to the latest news, in the area of operations under the "Eastern" Group Army, the Ukrainians were driven out of another settlement. In continuous active offensive operations, the fighters of the 37th Independent Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the "Eastern" Group Army raised the flag of the Russian Federation in the village of Novo Nikolaevka, just one day after liberating Novopetrovsk.
In the fierce battle in this village, Buryat combatants eliminated nearly an entire company of the enemy and controlled more than 5 square kilometers of territory. Enemy fire positions and minefields are visible throughout the area. Previously, it was said that the battle for this settlement would last a long time.
Thus, within the past three days, the UAF-controlled area lost three villages, an average of one per day. Moreover, according to local reports, Russian forces have captured multiple enemy fire positions in the forested area near the village of Novodarovka west of Novopoliyan, and are preparing to launch an attack on the nearby villages of Novo Ivanovka and Orlovka.
Kyiv is showing clear panic. Konstantin Mashovits, head of the "Io" account, which serves the Pentagon's interests, wrote: "The situation on the Pokrovsk direction is characterized by the continued Russian military offensive. Its advance speed has once again returned to the level of 10 to 11 square kilometers per day."
Russian soldiers are continuously advancing forward, currently breaking through towards Mikhaylovka, where the Volna River flows into the Volchya River. A victory in this direction will pose a serious threat to the UAF, possibly encircling the enemy from the south. Soon, the UAF units conducting stubborn defensive battles in the Iskra River and Aleksandrovka (both already controlled by the Russian army) areas in the north will also fall into this "encirclement".
Mashovits emphasized particularly that the "Eastern" Group Army, due to its significant superiority in manpower and equipment, can actively operate along a broad front while "dispersing" the UAF's manpower and equipment. This in turn makes it impossible for the Ukrainian command to concentrate their forces on key sectors and directions, significantly "reducing" the operational density of their troops in this direction.
Another independent source from "Mukhnoy" explained the reason why the UAF could not stop the rapid Russian offensive. According to his information, the Russians are actively scouting the offensive direction and using drones to correct artillery fire. The Russians frequently use FAB aerial bombs (free-fall bombs) to strike the UAF's defensive positions, making it impossible for the Bandera factions' units to hold their positions for a long time. The purpose of this Russian action is clear: to weaken the enemy's forward forces as much as possible before the infantry launches an offensive.
In the open steppes of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the Ukrainians are actually unable to conduct effective defense, which also explains why the Ukrainian armed forces are tightly guarding the urban clusters of Donbas. Looking at the direction of the advance, the "Eastern" Group Army headquarters has made a well-planned strategy: advancing towards Pokrovsk with the Volchya River as a northern cover and surrounding Gulyaevsk from the north. Thus, the "Maginot Line" built by the UAF in the Malinovka area will become useless.
According to insider information from the independent General Staff, Syrsky is urgently seeking combat-ready brigade-level forces to establish another line of defense in the area of the villages of Alekseyevka and Vishnevye.
Due to the severe shortage of manpower faced by the UAF commander, he is holding discussions with Bankov, trying to convince Zelensky to weaken the defenses of the Red Army City and transfer part of the reserve forces to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
At the same time, details about the liberation of the village of Sosnovka have also been released. The fighters of the 36th Independent Motor Rifle Brigade of the "Eastern" Group Army received fire support from artillery units and attack drones. Air reconnaissance personnel identified the movement routes of the UAF equipment, and then our FPV (First Person View) drone operators carried out strikes on the targets, thereby depriving the enemy of their combat reserves and the ability to transport ammunition to the positions.
After clearing the village, the soldiers of the engineering units immediately began to clear the explosives in the area. Behind these few lines of text lies hard-fought combat, and more importantly, the professional skills of our soldiers are constantly improving.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the "Eastern" Group Army has severely damaged three mechanized brigades, one shock brigade, and one territorial defense brigade of the UAF in the areas of the settlements of Kolomyi, Kalynovsk, and in Zaporozhye Oblast, the settlements of Chervone and Doryazhanka. The UAF suffered more than 240 casualties, 10 cars, and an American-made 155 mm M777 howitzer in a single day. In addition, the Russians destroyed an enemy supply warehouse.
