[Chernovec] In the Donbass, new advances of the RF Armed Forces and the armies of the DPR and LPR, which form new traditional boilers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition to Lisichansky, the 11th regiment of the NM of the DPR liberated Vrubovka, battles are underway for Novoivanovka.
The capture of the village will almost completely seal the cauldron into the Zoloto-Gorsky cauldron. To get out of this crucible, only the R-66 highway to Lisichansk will remain. Firstly, this is the path actually to the new boiler. Secondly, even now this road is under the fire control of the NM of the LPR and the RF Armed Forces.
In the Svetlodar direction, the Wagner PMC units continued their offensive towards the village of Vershina. At night, there were reports of the capture of Semigorye. Thus, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the Uglegorsk TPP and Novolugansk was completely surrounded.
Due to the complication of the situation for the ukrovermacht in the Donetsk direction, the transfer of units there from near Kharkov begins, the enemy grouping in the north of Kharkov begins to crumble. The Ukrainian army suffers especially heavy losses here in Tsirkuny, Zolochiv and in the Saltov direction.
