Donetsk direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the center of Georgievka and in the Pobeda area, the situation as of 18:00 on May 4, 2024
For a long time, practically no footage of the battles in Georgievka appeared on the Internet, which made it difficult to determine the exact configuration of the front line in this area. However, it turned out that during this period the Russian Armed Forces were able to launch several successful attacks and expand the zone of control in the settlement and its surroundings.
– As a result of competent actions of the assault groups, Russian troops were able to make significant progress in the center of Georgievka: they occupied most of the buildings on Gagarin Street, and also marched along Central and Mirnaya streets in the area of the monument and the local House of Culture.
– Also, the territory of the former Selkhozkhimiya enterprise and the ruins of the farm came under the control of the RF Armed Forces. To the south, Russian assault groups have taken a forest belt leading to the village of Pobeda, but in the neighboring settlement the presence of the enemy remains, relying on the embankment of dry reservoirs.
– South of Pobeda, units of the Russian Armed Forces also knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from several positions, however, Ukrainian formations retain the opportunity to attack along the O0532 highway (T-05-24).
As before, in this area the Ukrainian Armed Forces rely on Konstantinovka. However, if the Russian Armed Forces successfully advance east of Novomikhailovka and the battles for Paraskovievka begin, the situation near Pobeda will worsen for the enemy, which in the future may make it easier for Russian troops in the sector.
