[REGNUM] In Donbass, fighters of the Vostok group continue to develop the strategic success achieved after the liberation of the village of Komar, 78 km west of Donetsk, which until mid-June was used as the main stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the western regions of the DPR.

Last week, assault units managed to drive the enemy out of the village of Perebudova (Perestroika) on the H15 highway connecting the cities of Donetsk and Zaporozhye. At the same time, Russian troops did not stop at the success they had achieved and took up more advantageous positions "on the shoulders" of the retreating enemy.

“Having crossed the Mokrye Yaly River, the attack aircraft on the western bank planted Russian flags and created a bridgehead for further offensive,” the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The department noted that the assault on Perebudova lasted for three days. At the final stage, the enemy almost stopped resisting and retreated. Beyond the Mokrye Yaly River, there are no longer any natural obstacles to the advance of our troops to the border of the Dnepropetrovsk region.

North of Perebudova, Russian troops liberated the small settlement of Zaporizhia. The "namesake" of the regional center is located in close proximity to the border of the DPR and the Dnipropetrovsk region.

According to the latest information, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units were also driven out of a village with an equally symbolic name - Yalta. Judging by the name, this Yalta in the Volnovakha district, as well as the more famous "namesake" near Mariupol, were founded by settlers from Crimea in the 18th century. Having occupied Yalta, our soldiers also reached the Mokrye Yaly River.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area, as a rule, make almost no attempts to launch a counteroffensive, but try to prolong military operations whenever possible. But such "cautious" tactics have led to the fact that no more than ten settlements belonging to the DPR remain under the control of Ukrainian troops in this section of the front. This was indicated by an informed source of the Regnum news agency.

"The enemy is currently concentrating its forces in the area of ​​the villages of Poddubnoye and Mirnoye. And further north, in the village of Zelenyi Gai. As far as we know, they have no order to fight to the death, but they are dragging out time and waiting until new defensive lines are created in the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. But now the pace of our offensive is such that we often break into unfinished, unequipped positions," the source noted.

Further success of the offensive in the western part of Donbas will allow the "Vostok" group to launch a large-scale offensive to create a buffer zone in the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Earlier, Russian troops liberated the village of Orekhovo and hung over the village of Novopavlovka from the north.

With the liberation of Yalta, the advancing troops have a new bridgehead to the south, which allows them to take Novopavlovka "in pincers" in the future. It was previously noted that the village is located at a crossroads and plays a key role in the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In strategic terms, the success of the operation in the Dnepropetrovsk region may allow them to reach the enemy's supply routes in the city of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), the largest enemy defense node.

SOLDIERS IN UDACHNY
In the direction of Krasnoarmeysk itself, after a short pause, military actions have resumed in the area of ​​the urban-type settlement of Udachnoye. Russian troops are advancing in the direction of the E50 highway, which connects Krasnoarmeysk with the territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Realizing the importance of defensive lines in this area, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has transferred reinforcements from the reserve and newly formed units from recruits here. At the same time, our offensive continues northeast of Pokrovsk in the direction of Shakhovo - Novotoretskoye.

In the area of ​​Vladimirovka, Russian kamikaze drone operators hit several units of armored vehicles and motor vehicles heading to the front line. In all cases, FPV drones on fiber optics were used for the strikes, despite the fact that the targets were located in the operational rear of the enemy. Even the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, acknowledged the success of the Russian developers.

"We know that they have succeeded, for example, in producing drones with fiber optic control. Here, unfortunately, they have an advantage in both quantity and the range of their use. We already have examples of drones with fiber optics flying at a distance of up to 40 km," the enemy army commander admitted.

Nevertheless, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not abandoned hope of building a defense along the Kamenny Torets River and preventing the encirclement of Krasnoarmeysk from the north.

SUBURBS OF KONSTANTINOVKA
On another "hot" section of the front in the DPR, in the area of ​​the city of Konstantinovka (the southernmost link in the agglomeration of Konstantinovka - Druzhkovka - Kramatorsk - Slavyansk), our troops liberated the village of Dyleevka. It is located 17 kilometers southeast of Konstantinovka.

The success of the assault was facilitated by the predominantly flat nature of the terrain, which did not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to achieve fire control. The offensive in this direction continues toward two southeastern suburbs of Konstantinovka - Belaya Gora and Aleksandro-Shultino.

The enemy is trying to maintain control of the Kleban-Bykskoye Reservoir area south of Konstantinovka in order to prevent Russian troops from breaking through to the city from this direction.

"In fact, military actions are already underway on the administrative territory of the Konstantinovka community, roughly speaking, in the suburbs of Konstantinovka. We are already approaching from the east from Chasov Yar, from the east - from Yablonovka, but first we need to finish clearing the southern outskirts. Enemy forces are currently concentrating in Ivanopol - Pleshcheyevka to cover the city. So we can cautiously say that the battle for Konstantinovka has begun," the interlocutor of IA Regnum noted.

According to local reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison is actively preparing Konstantinovka for urban combat, setting up defensive lines in the industrial zone and densely populated areas. Ukrainian sources fear that the Russian Armed Forces will not directly assault the city, but will try to encircle Konstantinovka and establish fire control over supply routes, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area risk being surrounded.

THERE IS NO LINE OF DEFENSE
Russian troops are also developing an offensive in the Sumy region, gradually expanding the area of ​​the buffer zone. Over the past week, assault units in the border area have managed to advance in the area of ​​the villages and settlements of Radyanskoye, Andreyevka, Novaya Sich, Alekseyevka, Kondratovka, Khrapovshchina, Yunakovka and Sadki.

Ukrainian sources also report fierce clashes in the area of ​​the semi-encircled village of Varachino. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not been able to build a stable line of defense here, despite the existing capabilities - this was noted by the Ukrainian resource DeepState. Analysts published photos showing construction materials that were intended for building defense along the state border line, including the so-called "dragon's teeth".

Satellite images show them piled up in the area of ​​the village of Yunakovka. Ukrainian soldiers began digging trenches here a year ago, but the work was never completed. Analysts say the materials will now fall into the hands of Russian soldiers, who will use them for their own purposes.

Lacking a layered defense in the Sumy direction, the enemy is trying to patch up the holes by throwing its last reserves into battle. The day before, it became known that the 6th separate special forces regiment "Rangers" entered the battle near Yunakovka, which was used as infantry. However, a week later the unit was withdrawn from the front due to the losses it suffered.

The success of the Russian offensive led to the enemy command announcing the creation of an operational-tactical group in the Sumy direction. It will include a separate unit for the defense of the city of Sumy. The new group will be tasked with building fortifications along the right bank of the Oleshnya River, 10–15 km north of the city. However, Ukrainian sources fear that the new fortifications may not be built in time, given the pace of our military advancement in the border area.

In general, Russian troops continue to firmly hold the initiative at the front, attacking the enemy in the rear. The day before, it became known about a strike by the Iskander tactical missile system on the Ukrainian Armed Forces training ground in the Nikolaev region. This is already the third strike on the enemy's training centers in recent times.

The destruction of the Ukrainian army reserves before they even arrive at the front accelerates the collapse of its defenses, allowing Russian troops to move forward, often without encountering resistance.
