16:10 Svatovsky sector of the front and battles for Kuzemovkasettingas of 16.00 May 14, 2023:

On the Svatovsky sector of the front, sluggish hostilities have been going on for a long time in the area of Novoselovsky and Kuzemovka.

The first settlement was abandoned by the Russian troops, because it turned into ruins that are unprofitable to control. The defense of the division of the 1st tank army was taken up in forest plantations to the east of the railway.

All day yesterday, Ukrainian formations tried to push our units out of the defensive line west of Kuzemovka. And they allegedly succeeded in part. At the headquarters of the western grouping of troops, nothing is known about leaving the settlement, so we can only assume that in fact it is not about leaving the village, but about moving to reserve defense lines.

If we analyze the map of this section of the front, then from the terrain we can conclude that in the event of a breakthrough or a threat to the defending units, it is necessary to retreat not to Kuzemovka itself, but to nearby heights.

Kuzemovka is located in a lowland, and from the east it completely turns into a swamp. The news about the “abandonment” of Kuzemovka can only mean that the defense of the Taman division was occupied on the surrounding heights, while maintaining fire control over Kuzemovka itself and the corridor to the settlement.

Probably, the first line of defense along the railway tracks could be abandoned, and then the enemy was hit by fire during an attempt to enter the settlement, which, as it was in the gray zone, continues to remain a no man's land.
