Today there are a lot of updates from the Kurakhove direction.

The intensity of Russian assaults in the area of Vuhledar increased significantly, with Russian advances on the flanks of the city while the Ukrainians successfully repelled direct frontal assaults. The situation in the Vuhledar area is becoming more complex and dynamic for the Ukrainian defenders as Russians are once again trying to assault the city for the third time in the war.

One of the main vectors of the Russian assault was aimed directly at Vuhledar from the south. This direction posed significant risks for Russian stormtroopers and armored vehicles, as the vast fields surrounding the city made them easy targets for Ukrainian forces stationed in the high-rise buildings. Despite this, the Russian command proceeded with its preparations, gathering forces in Pavlivka, south of Vuhledar. Combat footage from Ukrainian drone operators of the 72nd Motorized Brigade shows them spotting a group of Russian stormtroopers on motorcycles heading to an assembly point in Pavlivka. The Ukrainian drones then struck, destroying the Russian forces and halting the assault before it could begin. The original uncensored combat footage can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.

In the eastern part of Vuhledar, the situation remains more fluid. Russian forces previously seized control of the high-rise buildings at the South-Donbass Number One coal mine complex, using the area as a staging ground for assaults on Vuhledar from the east. Additionally, the high-rise buildings in Vuhledar, where Ukrainian firing positions are concentrated, face the plains to the south toward Pavlivka. This positioning makes Russian assaults from the road east of the coal mine safer, as they are less exposed to Ukrainian fire. In preparation for these assaults, Russian artillery heavily bombarded the city with Tornado-S rocket systems, attempting to weaken Ukrainian defenses ahead of a full-scale ground assault to capture the town. However, geolocated footage reveals that after several ground assaults, only a small number of Russian stormtroopers managed to enter the city and take positions in nearby buildings. According to Ukrainian fighters, due to the limited number of Russian troops in the area, they are unlikely to hold these positions for long and will likely be driven out by Ukrainian forces inside Vuhledar.

To the north of Vuhledar, the situation is far more complex. Russian stormtroopers previously captured Vodiane after suffering heavy casualties during their assaults. Following this, Russian command quickly decided to advance toward the South-Donbass Coal Mine Number Three. Combat footage from the area shows intense Russian artillery fire targeting the coal mine to suppress Ukrainian positions. Once the barrage ended, a platoon-sized mechanized assault force moved across the fields between Vodiane and the coal mine. With Ukrainian positions still suppressed, the Russian infantry dismounted upon entering the coal mine complex and immediately opened fire. Following this, the Russian command sent another mechanized platoon to reinforce the assault on the coal mine, again taking advantage of the success of the heavy artillery fire, which kept Ukrainian troops in shelters. Although the Russian forces initially failed to fully capture the coal mine, the Ukrainian troops chose to withdraw to more defensible positions. Before retreating, the Ukrainians demolished the high-rise towers of Coal Mine Number Three, preventing the Russians from gaining fire control over the surrounding areas and diminishing the mine's tactical value. The original uncensored combat footage can be found on our Telegram channel as well.

To the west of Vuhledar, near Prechistivka, Russian forces are concentrating efforts to cross the Kashlahach River and use the bridgehead to encircle Vuhledar and advance toward the Berestova gully. Combat footage shows Russian stormtroopers from the 40th Marine Brigade dismounting from armored transports and storming Ukrainian trenches in assault squads of eight troops each. The intensity of the Russian assaults in this area has expanded their bridgehead across the Kashlahach River, bringing them dangerously close to Vuhledar and rendering one of the main Ukrainian supply roads unusable due to physical Russian control of it. The potential for Russian fire control over...

Vuheldar has more than served its purpose in this war.

Genuinely amazing how much shit those apartment blocks can take

[chrismichael]

Russkies desperately want to capture Vuhledar in order to push Ukrainian HIMARS 227mm missiles' 80km range as far away as possible from Mariupol and Berdanysk。But，both occupied cities is still within the range of ATACMS，Storm Shadow，Neptune，Hrim，Tochka-U (it is unknown if there is any remaining)，Palyanytsya，and various UAVs。

Not the best news but Vuhledar has been a major headache for a long time for the Orcs. Retreat and find a new nice place. Slava..

3d imaging is Really Appreciated.
It adds to the comprehension of the details.
Thankyou.

Incredible determination by Ukraine has held Vuhledar for so long. Unless they can be reinforced quickly, it's best to leave while there is still a chance

[LemonFX]

There are 1, 344 urban and 28, 621 rural populated places in Ukraine and if Russians lost 30, 000 people to conquer just one city, they will eventually run out of soldiers. They will never defeat Ukraine.

I guess that everyone by now understood that Russian advances cannot be stopped if they really commit to it.
What needs to be seen is the bigger picture, by making those advances costlier and costlier, sooner or later Russia will run out of steam / equipment / trained people and its advances will become more and more desperate...

Ukraine just needs to hold on and we, the West, need to grow a fucking pair of balls and send them the stuff their need and remove restrictions on the weapons.

Great analysis based on realism and not fear or optimism in either way. That's why Reporting from Ukraine is the best tactical analysis video around.

[anakinskyogre]

Get out of there and live to fight another day

[mcloutier]

Your the first one to visually confirm the strike on the ammo dump in Mariupol last week. I saw an item from the AFU saying it was hit, but no pictures.

[wavetrex]

I don't understand how the buildings in that city are still standing. One would have expected that everything was already flattened to rubble by now... What are those apartment buildings made of ? They seem stronger than military bunkers...

[misheckmabikahama]

God remember Ukrainians, strengthen em in the face of this evil they are faced with.
Wat did they do to deserve this war really? My heart bleeds for the innocent lives prematurely being terminated
