Some escalation of the ongoing battles has been reported on the outskirts of the Donetsk city agglomeration in recent days. The Russian military is gaining the military initiative and launched attacks on Ukrainian military positions near Novomikhailovka and Pervomaiskoe. At the same time, they continue their constant attacks on the remnants of Ukrainian troops on the western outskirts of Maryinka. In total, both Russian and Ukrainian sources reported escalation of Russian artillery shelling in various directions.
At the same time, Russian warplanes continue precision strikes on Ukrainian military facilities in the region. On October 2, the command post of the 25th separate airborne brigade of the AFU was reportedly destroyed by Russian high-precision weapons. As a result of the strikes, an underground bunker, commanders of the brigade and foreign instructors were destroyed.
Russian forces also continued strikes on the territory of the Coke and Chemical Plant in Avdeevka. The facility was turned into a military base by the Ukrainian military. LINK
On October 3, the head of the DPR claimed that Russian troops managed to expand the gray zone by destroying enemy strongholds in the Avdiivka and Maryinka directions. He added that Ukrainian strongholds in the Krasnogorovka area were destroyed. In general, there were no strategic changes of the frontlines.
After the Ukrainian counteroffensive failed, the Russian military is expected to launch major counterattacks in different directions. Escalation in the Donetsk region will force the AFU to transfer strategically important units to reinforce their positions there.
“russian forces also continued strikes on the territory of the coke and chemical plant in avdeevka”.
the idiot zelenesky must be in deep depression, no more free cocain and chems.
hilarious. maybe the russians should bomb the gay and homo factories? however, they might enjoy it too much.
wartime comedy must be incidental not intentional, agreed +.
našli odhalili a zničili. tak to vo vojne chodí. i keď je to iba švo bojuje sa s plným nasadením. inak ak dostali zase zopár západných bastardov čo prišli na ukrajinu vraždiť rusky hovoriacich občanov tak to je len a len dobre. svetu mier!!!
russian army can blast their way to kiev in 1 week, they do not show their real force and secret weapons. but better to do it slowly and avoid too much casualties and damaged infrastructure.
if nato insists on frenetically bringing their troops, weapons and equipment, directly to russia’s dismantling facilities along the front lines, why would russia want to engage them any other way?
when i see the ukraine towns in rubble and the wreckage of billions of dollars in us taxpayer’s money, and contemplate hundreds of thousands of dead soldiers, i realize a lifetime of believing russians are the evil ones is mistaken.
