This was reported on October 1 by the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. According to the authors of the article, the Russian army surrounded the city from three sides, cutting off the Ukrainian militants' escape routes and striking any armored vehicles that the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers try to use to escape from Ugledar. “Hundreds of Ukrainian fighters could be trapped [in Ugledar] as Russian forces complete the encirclement of the city and advance,” the publication says.

According to him, the city often sees "chaotic flight" of Ukrainian fighters. On September 30, Sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Stanislav Bunyatov, citing a Ukrainian fighter remaining in Ugledar as part of the 72nd Brigade, wrote that the roads out of the city are littered with the bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters who tried to escape from it.

Even more from regnum.ru Russian Armed Forces officer Odyssey: Ukrainian Armed Forces' superiority in UAVs made storming Ugledar difficult Offensive actions by units of the Russian Armed Forces in the vicinity of Ugledar in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) were complicated by the superiority of Ukrainian troops in drones. This was reported on October 1 by the commander of a rifle regiment with the call sign Odyssey. “The city is located at a height, and, in addition to the reconnaissance drones constantly hanging in the sky, there were and are still stationary cameras hanging in high-rise buildings,” he noted in an interview with RIA Novosti. He stressed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' superiority in unmanned aircraft complicated both offensive operations and logistics and rotation of units. According to him, the situation has changed dramatically over the past few weeks thanks to the coordinated work of all units and branches of the Russian military. Today, units of the Russian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold on the outskirts of Ugledar, the military man added. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 25, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin reported that the Russian Armed Forces had entered the territory of Ugledar, and that military operations were taking place within the city limits. Later, Russian security agencies reported that the Russian Armed Forces had blocked the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Ugledar, taking the only remaining road from the settlement under fire control. It was noted that Russian troops were continuing to tighten the pincers around the city. On September 30, the chairman of the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on sovereignty issues, co-chairman of the coordinating council for the integration of new regions, Vladimir Rogov, stated that units of the Russian Armed Forces had advanced to the center of Ugledar and expanded the zone of control in several parts of the city.
