Russian troops are already engaged in battles in the Rozlyv area, which is located near a key road leading to Kurakhove.
This was reported by a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier with the call sign "Muchnyi".
"Fighting on the approaches to Rozlyv continues. The enemy is being repelled, but the pressure is not diminishing; I believe that Russian forces will regroup," he wrote.
The map from the military public source Deep State has not yet confirmed this information. According to it, there are still over eight kilometers to Rozlyv from Yasna Polyana.
Additionally, according to the soldier, Russian troops have approached Maksymivka, which is located east of Yasna Polyana, the capture of which was announced by the Russian Ministry of Defence the day before.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian Armed Forces lieutenant with the call sign "Alex" reports that after the capture of Selydove, the likelihood of a Russian strike from the north into the western part of Kurakhove has increased.
"If no measures are taken, it will be bad there; it threatens the loss of not only the city but also significant territories," Alex believes.
A Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman with the call sign "Shadow" writes that in the area around Kurakhove, "we will eventually have to move to other positions to improve the tactical situation and preserve personnel if changes do not happen in our favor soon."
