Okay, I’ve analyzed the provided text. Here’s a summary of the key points regarding the military situation in Ukraine, based on the data given:
Key Takeaways:
Southern Front (Great Novoselka Area):
Russian forces captured Great Novoselka and launched an offensive northwards along the Wet Yaly River and from the east along the Wolf River.
after slow progress, Russian forces converged near the confluence of the two rivers, causing a crisis in Ukrainian defenses. Russian forces advanced along the coast of the Wet Yaly, capturing villages on the southern coast of the Wolf River.
Russian forces advancing from Kurakhovo captured Alekseevka, Novo Ukrainian, and Dachnaya (the frist settlement in the Dnipropetrovsk region occupied by Russian forces).
This forced ukrainian forces to retreat to Novopavlovka due to the threat of encirclement.
Russian forces now threaten Novopavlovka, which is crucial for Ukrainian defenses south of Pokrovsk.
If Novopavlovka falls, Russian forces could advance to the Dnieper-pokrovsk road, potentially cutting off ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region from the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Central Front (Pokrovsk-Toretsk Area):
The Russian offensive between Pokrovsk and Toretsk has slowed down due to Ukrainian reinforcements.
Though, Russian forces are expanding their advance north of the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka road.
West of Pokrovsk, they reached New Economics and are trying to break through to the Pokrovsk-Druzhkovka road.
Russian forces are engaged in heavy fighting for Yablonovka (on the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka road) and Alexandro-Kalinovo (near the Kleban-BEK reservoir).
If Russian forces reach the Kleban-BEK reservoir, it would cut off Ukrainian forces defending the western outskirts of Toretsk.
Russian forces from Toretsk are also trying to reach the eastern end of the reservoir.
They captured the “Name of the Holy Matrona of Moscow” mine, a key Ukrainian fortified position.
* Russian forces are also attacking the main Ukrainian fortified area on the western outskirts of Toretsk.
In essence, the text describes a deteriorating situation for Ukrainian forces in these two key areas, wiht Russian forces making gains and threatening crucial strategic locations.
