All yesterday, Ukrainian formations rolled into the village of Urozhaynoye in the Vremievsky area. The attacks practically did not stop. And this time armored vehicles were involved.

Closer to midnight, the combined assault groups of naval infantry of the 35th, 36th and 37th brigades, which had previously been deployed to the north of the village, as well as to the northwest of Staromayorsky, began another assault on the lines of the RF Armed Forces.

Fire support from closed firing positions was carried out by tanks of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of the fighting, the Ukrainian troops managed to occupy strongholds on the northern outskirts of Urozhayne, where a massive blow was dealt to them. Damaged armor remained in the area, but infantry groups are still active at this point.

Attacks are almost guaranteed to resume in the near future to consolidate at the turn. And, given the transfer of naval infantry to the landings northwest of Staromayorsky, the offensive will also be on the positions of the RF Armed Forces in important forest belts near the village.

However, the losses of the enemy are already significant. Yes, they are replenished and understaffed, but the situation worsens with each attack.
