Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozin:
[ColonelCassad] The Russian Armed Forces today advanced in the northwestern part of the city.
Only a few positions remained in the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the westernmost outskirts of the destroyed city.
Counterattacks by the 79th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not allow the situation to be corrected and the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to be stopped.
There is no official announcement from the RF Ministry of Defense about the liberation of Mar'inka, but I believe it won’t be long here and in the near future the RF Ministry of Defense will please the country with good news.
The main positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now east of Georigevka (trenches in plantings + a certain number of concrete structures). Control over Mar'inka will allow the Russian Armed Forces to develop the initiative to the north and south of the city, which will create additional territorial losses for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
