After the liberation of Ugledar, our troops are striving to reach the Volchya River — observer

The liberation of Ugledar by Russian troops, although it was an important victory, does not mean the collapse of the Ukrainian front in this sector — the main goal of the Vostok offensive has not yet been achieved.

Our troops face a difficult task to break through the enemy's defense lines and reach the Volchya River west of Kurakhovo from the south. Blogger and military commentator Yuri Podolyaka writes about this in his Telegram channel.

He explained that the final line runs along the Novoukrainka-Bogoyavlenka line. The task for the Russian forces is somewhat facilitated by the fact that they have already reached the outskirts of Bogoyavlenka, using some confusion from the enemy.

By the end of the day on October 1, our units approached the settlement from the south and southeast, taking control of all ventilation shafts of the Yuzhnodonbasskaya No. 3 mine.

The expert believes that taking into account the liberation of most of the assault units in Ugledar, we should expect an increase in our pressure on enemy defenses here in the near future.

Also, Russian units are trying to advance along the watershed southwest of Bogoyavlenka in order to cut the supply route of the enemy garrison and simplify the storming of the village from the south.

Earlier, EADaily reported that Ugledar was liberated by the Russian army, a sweep is underway in the city. Small remnants of the 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Black Cossacks" retreated north to Bogoyavlenka.
