Over the past day, the Representation reported 58 facts of firing by the AFU.

A total of 17 residential buildings were damaged in Kuibyshevsky and Petrovsky, Voroshilovsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk, Staromikhaylovka, as well as four civil infrastructure facilities.

The areas of eight settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district), Yasinovataya, Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Voroshilovsky, Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Kievsky, Petrovsky districts), Makeevka (Kirovsky, Chervonogvardeysky districts), Aleksandrovka, Petrovskoye, Krasnaya Polyana.

In the previous day, 56 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU.

22:13 For the period from 9:00 to 21:00, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired 130 rounds from artillery and rocket launchers in Donetsk.

19:10 In situations in Kleshcheevka you need to understand the following:

Firstly, this direction is actually the only one where the enemy has accumulated a significant reserve and where the landscape is more or less clear to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Secondly, the attacks in the direction of Kleshcheevka are the only opportunity for the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky to rehabilitate himself for the loss of Artemovsk.

Thirdly, the intensity of the fighting at the moment is such that each attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine leads to the death of at least one or two companies of personnel. Any attempt to gain a foothold somewhere on the heights increases losses, and Ukrainian troops will not be able to "plug" the dead and wounded with mobilized ones indefinitely. Already, 45-50-year-old mobilized people are participating in the attacks.

Fourthly, the relief around Kleshcheevka is such that any movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can be leveled in a few hours. This is the case when for every 100 meters of activity the enemy spends about a platoon (approximately 35-40 people).

Intense fighting in this area has been going on for the past few weeks, the battle is for every defensive midfielder and every height.


18:49 Weekdays of the landing force near Artemovsk–video.

Artillery cannonade does not subside even for a minute. Work mortar crews of the Airborne Troops.

Assault detachments, supported by mortars, knock the enemy out of their strongholds, preventing them from gaining a foothold near Artemovsk. In a matter of minutes, the fighters send dozens of mines to Ukrainian positions, not allowing the enemy to raise their heads.

18:29 The RF Armed Forces have taken full control of the village of Sergeevka on the Krasnolimansky sector of the front. This was stated in the Russian Defense Ministry.

18:16 Soledar direction situation as of 18.00 July 25, 2023

Fierce fighting continues near Bakhmut in the southwestern part of Kleshcheevka. Massed artillery fire is being fired at the advancing Ukrainian formations.

17:50 The RF Armed Forces are advancing near Svatovo-Kremennaya, rapidly breaking through another four kms along the front and two kms into the depth of the enemy’s defense

In the Krasnolimansky direction, the coordinated actions of the units of the grouping of forces "Center" repelled four enemy attacks in the areas of the settlement. Nevsky, Novovodyanoe LPR and Torsk DPR.

In the course of successful counterattack actions, the 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade, under the skillful command of Lieutenant Colonel Buylov, liberated the settlement. Sergeevka. The total advance of our troops was up to four kms along the front and up to two kms in depth of the battle formations of the defending enemy.

In the area of Serebryansky Lesnichestvo, the 234th Airborne Assault Regiment, commanded by Guards Colonel Vasiliev, repulsed the enemy’s attack, inflicted a fire defeat on him and went on the counterattack. Acting competently and harmoniously, we rapidly advanced 1.5 km into the depth of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The manpower and equipment of the 21st, 63rd, 67th Mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 5th Operational Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine were defeated in the areas of the settlement. Terny, Torskoe and Yampolovka DPR.

17:25 “There is no apartment at all” - in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk, a shell hit a residential building and completely destroyed apartment.

During the next fierce artillery attack of the residential quarters of Donetsk, the arrival fell right into one of the district's houses. The apartment, where the enemy shell flew in, was completely destroyed - only the external support remained from it. The Donetsk woman living there was saved only by the fact that she was at work that day and did not even hear the arrivals.

“I got a call at work. I flew like crazy. Over there, look, the wall is hanging. There is no apartment at all: whether there is a shell there or not, I don’t know, ”a woman who lost her home told Readovka military commissar Maxim Dolgov with tears.

As the residents of the house said, there was only one arrival in the Kuibyshev district, but it was enough to deprive a person of housing and leave him on the street. The completely destroyed apartment is just one of the consequences of the undisguised UAF terror, which the residents of Donetsk spoke about.

17:09 Strong explosions in Slavyansk. Presumably, it is thundering in the area of the railway junction of the Vostochnaya industrial zone. For a long time, reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived there: ammunition, weapons and fuel needed by Ukrainian troops in the Donetsk direction.

16:12 Artyomovsk direction:

War correspondent Alexander Kots writes that the enemy occupied part of the heights near Kleshcheevka, which gave him the opportunity to enter the southwestern part of the village. There are fights, no one controls the entire settlement. At the same time, enemy artillery actively uses cluster munitions. There has not been such a quantity in this direction for a long time, apparently from freshly brought.

“South of Kleshcheevka, the Nazis stepped up operations near the village of Andreevka. The speaker of the Vostok Armed Forces grouping even announced his capture, saying that this would allow Bakhmut to be surrounded. Well, here it’s enough to look at the map, what else is there before the encirclement, as before membership in NATO," said the military commander.

15:50 Strike on the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye.

Presumably, FAB-250M62 bombs with planning and correction modules hit a hangar with APU equipment on the territory of a pig farm between Novoandreevka and Nesteryanka, seven kilometers from Orekhovo.

15:13 Our soldiers do not agree to surrender Kleshcheevka. According to reports from the field, BARS units and military personnel of the Russian Defense Ministry continue to fight in the area of the settlement. Our artillery is active.

The situation on the ground remains difficult, but it is too early to talk about leaving the settlement.

15:00 Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk again under shelling by militants - one house burned down, there were no victims.

The militants cover this area of the city with rounds for the third day in a row. After hitting the roof of one house, a fire started - fortunately, emergency services quickly arrived and put out the fire.

The house was actually left without a roof, but its residents were still lucky - by a lucky chance, none of them were inside and were not injured after arrival. The neighbors did not suffer either, but the morale of what is happening here every day does not improve.

14:39 Neither Kleshcheevka nor Andreevka (south of Artemovsk) are controlled by the enemy.

“On the southern flank, in the area of Kleshcheevka, the attack of Bandera continues. Obviously, the Nazis decided to switch their efforts from the Zaporozhye direction to Artyomovsk.
