The city of Ugledar located in the DPR has recently become one of the hottest spots on the Donbass front lines. In January 2023, Russian troops launched an offensive on the city, threatening another strategic line of defence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the official report of the Russian Ministry of Defence on January 30, the units of the Vostok group of troops continue successful offensive operations and occupied more advantageous positions in the region. They inflicted fire damage to the units of the 1st Tank Brigade of the AFU in the area of Ugledar, as well as to the 102nd Territorial Defense Brigade in the area of Uspenovka in the Zaporozhye region.
“The total losses of the AFU in these areas during the day amounted to up to 25 Ukrainian servicemen, two armored combat vehicles, a D-20 howitzer, two D-30 howitzers, as well as a self-propelled artillery installation “Carnation”. – the report reads.
In his turn, on January 30, the acting head of the DPR confirmed the advance of Russian units in the Ugledar region.
“We can already say that they managed to gain a foothold in the eastern part of Ugledar” – he claimed.
The beginning of the assault on Ugledar by the marines of the 155 brigade of the Pacific Fleet a few days ago:
Meanwhile, the situation remains tense on the battlefield. Russian forces have recently entered the city of Ugledar. In the private sector in the south-east of Ugledar, Russian Marines of the Pacific Fleet are engaged in positional battles with superior enemy forces. Heavy battles are ongoing while Russian forces are advancing from their positions in Nikolskoe. Russian forces are also surrounding the city from the southern direction, advancing from their positions in Pavlovka.
The tactical goal of the Russian military is to take control of the Yuzhno—Donbass No. 1 mine located in the western district of Ugledar, what would allow Russian forces encircle the city. So far, the mine remains under control of the AFU; but Russian troops are approaching it by several kilometers every day.
Russian artillery hit Ukrainian positions in the area:
Russian tanks in action:
Russian artillery is already shelling Ukrainian positions in the central and western parts of the city. Before the assault, they are weakening the AFU as much as possible and encircle the city. The road leading to the north is already under fire control of Russian artillery, and is unlikely to be used for military supplies. Another road leading to Ugledar from the west is also heavily shelled by Russian forces, but it is still partially used for transfer of Ukrainian military supples from Kurakhovo.
The Russians are encircling the city. Thus, if the Ukrainian military decides to withdraw troops and leave their positions in the city, they will most likely retreat to the steppes to the northwest under heavy enemy fire.
Ukrainian spotters with UAV attempted to adjust fire of Ukrainian tank on the outskirts of Ugledar but failed and ordered the crew to leave the scene:
However, it seems that the Ukrainian military command is still following the tactics to fight until the last soldier despite the threat of being encircled. The AFU has already transferred a lot of reinforcement to the area in order to hold the city at any cost. They are heavily shelling the advancing enemy forces. The areas on the outskirts of the city were also remotely mined with petals. They do not pose any threat to the Russian tanks but can slow down the advance of the vehicles.
Russian victory in Ugledar will threaten another strategic line of defence of the AFU in the Donbass region. It will pawe the way for Russian assault in Maryinka from the southern direction. Up to date, Ukrainian fighters are in control of the western part of the village.
I’d like to be the first to congratulate Russian advances.
Ugledar will fall right after the next kamikaze drone-guided missile Blitz on Ukrainian power-energy infrastructure.
Bandera parade coming soon in Donetsk! Glory to taco meat!
Both Bandera and Stalin were bad. Long live the Polish resistance.
Bad? Are you four years old? Where’s that Holodomor evidence you claim exists? Certainly an element in Poland has resisted reason and common sense for quite some time. No argument here.
I want you to deny the killing fields in Cambodia also.
Chuck Poland and chuck you too
Russia has plenty of oil they need to switch to napalm to burn out the trenches and save time and lives. Nothing like fire to de incentivize any military and cause panic.
US Transportation Command is delivering the first shipment of Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine. The shipment — containing more than 60 Bradleys — left the shores of North Charleston, South Carolina, Jan. 25.
How many personnel from the failed Ukrainian CIA project have been killed since the 2014 US coup in Kiev? How many Russian personnel are currently operating on territory that was part of the failed Ukrainian CIA project at the time of the coup? How many refugees have fled the territory of the failed Ukrainian CIA project since the 2014 coup overthrew the legitimate government of the Ukraine?
Call the mafia and put a bounty on them not getting to Ukraine and don’t be cheap. Give em a Howitzer!
US is in a hurry because Ukraine is going to fail badly in Donbass. Let’s see where Russia wants to stop at the east side of the denpr river, in Kiew or if they wants now to take all of Ukraine.
The Russian victory is inevitable in Donbass. Jasi Car is threaten, Artemowsk almost emcircled, Adivka close to encirclement. Toresk will be under attack at least in 14 days and Russians big offensive even has not started. Ukraine is not willing to retreat its encircled army so a big Russian victory we can be expected. All Ukrainians defense lines are going to bypassed and demolished soon by Russia.
Ukraine army is going to be annihilated in the Donbass. And Russia even did not start its spring offensive. Who will defend Charkow or Liwow?
Encirclement is good. It means that some Ukrainian soldiers can give up instead of being slaughtered.
One by one the pieces fall before the World’s finest Army!
The UAF must be Nazis – they clearly admire Hitler’s strategy at Stalingrad.
Witnessing the daily destruction of the foul angloZionaZi empire of shit, watching it getting flushed and with it the so-called New World “Order” is more than I could have hoped for. Thank you Mother Russia for this sacrifice in ridding Urupp of Natostan and the Pentacon thugs along with the globo pedovore filth that has enslaved the Euro Peons in the corpo-fascist nightmare of the EUSSR.
Total victory over the demons will be yours.

Dont understand why RUSSIA does not just bomb and flatten Ugledar to the ground? UkiNazi have shown Russkians no mercy and Russia should answer with same. Just flatten it and MOVE ON. This is taking to long.
the people are more important than the tar paper shacks getting knocked down. These take about 2-3 days to build. the hardest part is finding the straw to keep the mud in brick form.
Yes, Ugledar is the biggest city in Ukraine. Please stop labelling them as cities. They are villages.
we need much more thermobaric and vacuum rockets and bombing here, because ukros are deeply dug in, so that keeps the resistance high and keeps a wery slow and hard work for the russian offensive.

Looks like someone or some group is trying to undermine this site again by postbombing the comment section with delusional fantasies of sending more weapons to Ukraine when the war is already lost, everything has been sent, EU nations are going broke and protests here in the EU keep getting larger.
The EU and UK are already at the point of complete humiliation, but it seems like most have not gotten the memo and are ready for more. Especially those in the US.
I suggest the postbombers should enlist as mercenaries if they want to humiliate Russia so much. You’ll get your fat chance there.
Exactly. Seems like someone hacked into the like and dislike system.
Seems more like two factions in the mods. Sometimes they delete pro sometimes antirussian stuff.
But allways leave the insults for some reason.
Their parameters are wrongly set. No comment on South Front gets 90+ reactions (positive or negative). They just applied default bot settings for social media, without adjusting parameters for this particular site. Sloppy and cheap.
This type of trolling I have never seen before. Someone seems to have hacked into the like and dislike system of the comments section.
No need for hack. There is virtually no bot protection here so relatively simple script would do the job.
Who opened the shitgate and let all these trolls in?
Ruské sily postupujú pomaly vpred. To je nateraz to dôležité. Banderovské fašistické zvery dostávajú na búdku.
