According to DeepState, Russian forces have completed the capture of territories south of Kurakhove, eliminating the so-called Uspenivska pocket.
Settlements of Trudove, Uspenivka, and Konstantynopolske have been occupied.
"Unfortunately, not everyone managed to get out of the pocket. Let this remain on the conscience of those responsible for this mistake," said the DS statement.
Currently, the Russian army is regrouping on the captured positions and has intensified actions on the flanks of the new potential "pocket" around Kurakhove itself. Assaults are being carried out in the direction of Shevchenko-Andriivka from Stari Terny, and pressure is being increased from the recently occupied Solntsivka.
Moreover, attacks are being conducted in the Zelenivka area, where the enemy is actively using equipment and infantry, attempting to secure positions in the plantations for further advancement. The main goal in this direction is the capture of Andriivka through Konstantynopolske.
DS emphasizes the importance of protecting the flanks to avoid a repeat of the "Uspenivska pocket" situation.
