Direct speech: “The situation around Vugledar has become very tense. The Russians are trying to surround the city, which has become a real fortress for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are large tank battles going on there, the enemy is trying to break through the defenses, but now the Russians are trying to surround the city.”
Details: Filashkin reported that despite the destruction of a significant amount of enemy equipment, Russian troops continue their offensive.
The head of the OVA noted that Ukrainian defenders are repelling attempts by Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups to enter the city.
Commenting on the situation with the civilian population, Filashkin said that about 100 civilians still remain in the city.
Direct speech: “There are about a hundred people in the city who do not want to evacuate. It is very difficult to bring in humanitarian aid, because the enemy is shelling all available routes. They are using all types of weapons: tanks, artillery, drones.”
Prehistory:
- Specialists of the Institute for the Study of War point out that geolocation videos released on September 24 show that Russian troops have advanced into eastern Vugledar, confirming reports from Russian and Ukrainian sources that Russian troops broke through to eastern Vugledar between September 23 and 24.
- Russian forces are also trying to advance on the northeastern flank of Vugledar through Vodyane and the southwestern flank through Prechistivka, probably in an attempt to surround the Ukrainian group in Vugledar and force it to retreat.
