13:50 Advance west of Svatovo situation as of 13.00 January 21, 2024:
In the Svatovsky sector, after the recent capture of a 4 km wide section of the N-26 highway, the West group of troops continues to advance. Yesterday, footage of objective control was published online, confirming the presence of military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces on the western outskirts of the village of Krakhmalnoye.
At the same time, Russian units broke through the enemy’s defenses southwest of the village, coming very close to Berestovoy: fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the village. According to preliminary information, Russian troops managed to completely occupy the section of the N-26 road to Novoselovsky.
Both Krakhmal'noe and Berestovoe are located in the lowlands. From Novoselovsky’s side, the difficulty of further advancement is due to the presence of height 167.5, which must be taken before starting to move west.
After the withdrawal of Ukrainian formations from Krakhmal'noe, the Russian Armed Forces have the opportunity to advance towards both Tabaevka and Peschanoye. Their release will allow the defending Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Kupyansk-Uzlovy to enter the rear from the south.
Activation of the Svatovsky direction allows us to solve the problem of both potentially returning control in the east of the Khar'kov region and stretching the enemy’s resources that are involved in other directions. It is extremely premature to talk about a possible cleanup between the Oskol and Zherebets rivers, but a breakthrough on a new section of the front to replace the “damned” Kupyansky direction will allow us to begin solving the problem in the east of the Khar'kov region.
13:08 The number of people killed during artillery attack by Ukrainian troops in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk has increased to 18, the city mayor said.
