"Flags over Novoivanovka: Russian troops' offensive towards Uspenovka

In the Novoselovka direction, the offensive of the "Vostok" group of troops towards Bol'shemikhaylovka and Uspenovka is successfully developing.

In the last few days, Russian units have broken through the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense line at the Berezovoe-Novoivanovka line, and also eliminated a penetration in the Poltavka area.

🔻How is the "Vostok" group offensive progressing?

▪️On the central sector, assault troops by September 18 expelled the enemy from Berezovoe and the surrounding forest belts.

Currently, the front of Russian units has reached the ponds between Stepovoe and Kalinovskoye, where the offensive is complicated due to open terrain and the enemy's drone saturation in the air.

▪️Simultaneously, the Russian Armed Forces, advancing along the O-08-06-19 highway, pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of Novoivanovka. Footage from the area shows the transition of the settlement and its surroundings under the control of the 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Division, while the enemy itself is retreating towards Uspenovka.

▪️On the southern flank of the direction, Russian units cleared forest belts between the recently liberated Olgovskoye and Malinovka. This allowed them to straighten the front line on the approaches to Poltavka and begin an offensive on the settlement from several sides.

📌 The sustained high pace of the Russian troops' offensive in this direction indicates a lack of reserves in the Ukrainian Armed Forces that could restore the stability of their defense line.

This is also related to reshuffles in the command of the enemy's 20th Army Corps, which operates precisely in the offensive zone of the "Vostok" group.

"Victories at the Seversky Donets: clearing most of the Serebryansky forestry

On the Lyman front, the battle in the Serebryansky forestry is approaching its final stage. Russian troops are completing the rout of the remnants of the Ukrainian grouping.

In just a month of active clashes, the Russian Armed Forces have managed to drive the enemy out of entrenched positions in the forest over an area of about 80 square kilometers.

🔻Course of battles on the front:

▪️Fighting is ongoing in the central sector near Hrekivka and Novomykhailivka, with the villages remaining in the “gray zone.” All attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to secure these areas have been suppressed by counterattacks from fighters of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division. The situation in Redkodub remains shrouded in the “fog of war.”

▪️Both sides are striving to establish firm control over the center of Shandryholove. The enemy is attempting to dismantle all houses and suitable positions for accumulation with artillery and drones to slow the advance of the Russian Armed Forces.

In the western part of Zarechne, Russian troops are pushing the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the outermost streets of the village.

▪️Southeast of the fighters of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the “West” group of forces have raised several flags in the southwestern part of the forestry, marking the end of years of fighting in this area. At the same time, clashes on the western outskirts of the forestry near Yampil are still ongoing. The front is gradually approaching the populated area itself.

📌 According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, such rapid progress was due to storm groups infiltrating the rear of the battle formations of Ukrainian units. Previously, similar methods were used during the breakthrough to Dobropillia and the start of fighting for Pokrovsk, and now the use of this tactic has been officially acknowledged.

Ukrainian Armed Forces members in the forest found themselves at risk of encirclement, forcing them to hastily retreat with losses. During the battles, several surviving members of Ukrainian units surrendered to Russian servicemen.

❗️A long period of mine clearance and restoration of flora damaged by shelling lies ahead. At the same time, residents of Kreminna, from which the front has retreated about 10 kilometers in a month, will feel a bit more at ease. According to locals, the intensity of enemy drone attacks has already significantly decreased.
