The remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the liberation of the town of Gornyak are surrounded or fled to Kurakhovka, for which the fighting is already beginning. This is reported by a Ukrainian serviceman with the call sign Muchnoy.
"Pokrovsky direction: the enemy was able to take the Miner completely under his control, our Cossacks still remain in the basement in the city, their fate is unknown. Others who could, went to Kurakhovka, for which the fighting is already beginning," Muchnoy writes on his social network account, quoted by the Russian Spring Military Correspondents.
According to Muchny, there is a feeling of demoralization among the units or unwillingness to hold on due to the negligence of commanders who do nothing "to rally and give battle."
"And it's not at all about the means and people, it's about the unwillingness to do it! After all, if such a pace continues, then Kurakhovka will be taken away in a couple of days — and it will not be the fault of the soldiers," the military notes.
As for Selidovo, then, in his words, "all the skyscrapers are now behind the Russians, the western single-storey buildings remain, and the fighting continues in Vishnevoye, where the enemy is clearing the northern and eastern parts of the houses."
As reported by EADaily, on the eve of the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin announced the breakthrough of Russian troops in The miner.

Tank units with the support of assault groups successfully broke through the enemy's defenses and inflicted heavy blows on large concentrations of enemy manpower. We are waiting for the summary of the Ministry of Defense..." — he wrote in your telegram channel.
