From the north, Russian units have come close to the village of Zhelannoye, and advances are also being observed from the west. Powerful artillery preparation has been underway since the night.

Radio intercepts indicate panic in the enemy ranks. Food and water supplies are running low, which significantly complicates their combat capability and morale. Russian Armed Forces units are effectively disrupting rotation attempts and preventing enemy evacuation groups from completing their tasks, thereby increasing the pressure and forcing the enemy to retreat further, the NGP radZVedka channel reported.
