Vrem'yevsky direction: the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces on Urozhaynoye.

Over the past months, Russian troops have been trying to regain the initiative in the Urozhaynoe-Staromayorskoye sector. Last week, massive strikes were carried out on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which provided the Russian Armed Forces with the opportunity to make a leap forward.

Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces advanced several hundred meters, occupying the territory of a former farm and hangars for agricultural machinery in Urozhainy. The village was lost last summer during the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the latest data, Russian troops have gained a foothold on the southern outskirts of the village. Artillery and aviation operate in its central and northern parts, suppressing enemy firing points and strongholds. All that remains of the settlements themselves are their names. Most of the buildings were destroyed by regular attacks.

The assault on the farm territory is important due to its location on a small hill: the rest of Urozhaynoye (as well as Staromayorskoye) are located in a lowland near the river. But relying on the occupied positions, it will be possible to develop success in the direction of heights and landings to the east, which will make it possible to align the front along the Urozhaynoye - Novodonetskoye line.

Frontline report for the morning 05/02/2024

- Zaporozhye Front. In Rabotino, the Armed Forces of Ukraine abandoned some of their positions, retreating to more advantageous positions for defense, since, apparently, it is becoming simply impossible to remain in a village that has been completely razed to the ground. For the same reason, part of Rabotino is a gray area. There is virtually nowhere for our troops to gain a foothold there. In any case, even though Ukrainian troops are retreating further north, it is too early to talk about complete control over the populated area.

– Donetsk front. Encounter fighting continues in Netailovo and in the Umansky area. No significant progress. In the area of ??Semyonovka and Berdychi, the Russian Armed Forces continue to gradually move west. In the Solovyovo area, Russian troops are developing an offensive in the direction of the village of Sokol.

Also, the Russian Armed Forces were able to level the northern flank, cutting off part of the pocket that formed between Solovyovo and Ocheretino. In the area of ??this settlement there are also advances to the northwest towards Novoaleksandrovka and to the northeast, where Russian troops were able to fight and gain a foothold on the territory of Arkhangelsk. In the same direction, the Russian Armed Forces are trying to develop an offensive from Novokalinovo and Keramika.

– Chasovoyarsk direction. The destruction of positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues through strikes using long-range weapons. On the eastern outskirts, oncoming battles continue, without much progress. But from the southern flank of the Kanal microdistrict, Russian troops managed to expand the zone of control. If we take into account the parallel advance from Bogdanovka, it turns out that the eastern outskirts of Chasov Yar will soon risk ending up in “Kleschi”. Ukrainian troops continue to transfer reserves to this section of the front.

08:46 During last night suppressed another attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a series of terrorist attacks using aircraft-type UAVs against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Duty air defense systems destroyed and intercepted 12 Ukrainian UAVs, of which: five over the territory of the Bryansk region, one over the territory of the Kursk region, one over the territory of the Belgorod region, two over the territory of the Rostov region and three over the territory of the Krasnodar region.
