#3 From the V Kontake page of 08/13/23 Military Informant channel. (Two Days Ago)

“Today, the village of Urozhaynoye was abandoned in the Yuzhnodonetsk direction.

In recent weeks, fighters of the Kaskad OBTF and the 40th Marine Brigade have been stubbornly resisting the Armed Forces of Ukraine there. The assault groups of the 40th Brigade repeatedly launched a counterattack and drove the enemy out of Urozhaynoye. Virtually every marine who participated in the fighting was wounded.

The problem in holding the village is mostly due to the lack of desire to defend it on the part of the 36th Army. The tank units of the 37th Brigade refused to support the infantry in the battles for Urozhaynoye, arguing that the tanks were supposedly destroyed immediately after entering the firing position.

The infantry of the brigade retreated from all forest belts east of Urozhaynoye on the 10th. This was argued by the fact that they no longer have personnel for combat operations. In fact, half of the brigade is busy drinking alcohol in the rear, and the officers are not able to bring them to their senses. But for some reason, the 37th Brigade continues to be thrown into the most important sectors of the front, which they successfully leave to the enemy.

Probably for Urozhaynoye they will again receive a decent amount of awards, as it was after the battles for Novodonetskoye. But the attack aircraft of the Marines from Storm Z, who voluntarily signed contracts and do not give up an inch of land without a fight, are not entitled to awards.

#4 From a comment which appeared in a Russkaya Vesna V Kontakte page (today):

The militants of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine posted a video release of the battles for the village of Urozhaynoye, claiming that they had allegedly completely captured it.

Based on geolocation data, control of only the northernmost part of the village has been accurately confirmed. The southern and central parts are still in the gray zone and are being shot through by our artillery, preventing the Armed Forces of Ukraine from gaining a foothold in the village.

#5 Company sized Russian infantry element being hit with artillery during the retreat from Urozhaynoye

The Ukrainian MoD released two spectacular videos, showing surviving Russian troops fleeing from Urozhaine.

It is absolute carnage because those Russians have no armored vehicles, no vehicles at all and flee in broad daylight on an open road and fields. The 2nd video is even… pic.twitter.com/69ap1T4dLs
