The Institute also refers to a Ukrainian unit, according to which three groups of Russian infantry tried unsuccessfully to force the Vovcha River north of Kurakhovo.
According to the report, additional geolocation footage released on November 11 indicates that Russian forces have recently advanced north of the village of Dalnye, south of Kurakhovo.
“The Russian advance near Dalny is likely aimed at bypassing a number of settlements north of Vugledar along the C05114 highway, which could pose a serious challenge to advancing Russian forces. ISW continues to assess that further Russian advances in Dalnyi and west of the settlement could force Ukrainian forces to withdraw from positions north and northeast of Vugledar, allowing Russian forces to advance along highway C051104 relatively unhindered and pressure Ukrainian positions in Kurakhovo from the south “, analysts add.

The ISW adds that Russian “military personnel” announced the advance of the Russian army north of Kurakhovo in the Voznesenka area, but the institute did not find confirmation of this.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported 47 combat clashes in the Kurakhiv direction during the day of November 12, including attempts by Russian invaders to advance in the areas of Illinka, Novoselidivka, Voznesenka, Novodmytrivka, Dalnyi, and Antonivka. According to the summary of the command, the fighting continues.
Recently, the Kurakhiv direction remains the leader in terms of the number of attacks in the reports of the General Staff. The Russian army is “tightening its grip” around Kurakhovo – this was reported by the DeepState analytical project over the past three days.
According to the project of Radio Liberty Donbass. Realiy, judging by the map, Kurakhove found itself in a huge “bag”, the distance between the extreme flanks of which is about 20 kilometers. Analysts from DeepState noted that even additional resources that arrive to reinforce this area are not always adequately deployed.
