On 26 December 2024, Russian army units occupied the entire residential area of the town of Kurakhovo. The remnants of the Ukrainian army retreated to the western outskirts of the city, to the area where industrial enterprises are located. Ukrainian army units also continue to hold the Kurakhovo Thermal Power Plant area.
The Russian army’s 5th Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade is at the forefront of the Russian offensive in the city. On 25 December, video footage appeared showing soldiers of the 5th Brigade planting Russian flags in five places at once. On 26 December, the Russian army cleared the city’s last street, Sportivnaya, of the presence of AFU soldiers. The 110th and 114th motorized rifle brigades, the 20th and 150th divisions of the Russian Army are successfully operating on the flanks around the city and on its outskirts.
The city of Kurakhovo is the center of a key fortified area in the west of the former Donetsk region of Ukraine. Intense fighting took place in this area throughout December. To defend the entire fortified area, including the city, the Ukrainian command has formed a group of 15,000 troops equipped with modern NATO weapons. As of 26 December, some 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers continue to resist on the western outskirts of the city. Another 8,000 AFU soldiers are fighting near the city, focusing on the settlements of Andreevka, Konstantinopol and Ulakly to the west of Kurakhovo.
Despite the active resistance of Ukrainian units, the Russian army is conducting successful combat operations throughout the whole area. The Russian offensive is developing both north of Kurakhovo towards the T-05-15 route and south on both banks of the Sukhiye Yaly river. Krasnoye (Sontsovka) has been confirmed liberated. To the south-west of the city, Russian assault groups finally cleared the village of Sukhiye Yaly and aligned the front on the Yantarnoye-Konstantinopolskoye line. The remnants of the AFU units were driven out of the village of Gigant. Fighting is taking place in the area of Zelenovka. Actions have begun toward the settlement of Ulakly.
On the northern flank, Russian units have occupied the territory of the Zarya Landscape Reserve west of Zarya, and are waging the offensive near Kurakhovo itself. Fighting has broken out in the settlement of Shevchenko. A significant Russian advance is in the woodlands near the village of Dalnyi.
Fighting is fierce throughout the entire district. The Zelensky regime tries to overcome the defense crisis by sending fresh troops into the battle area. However, these newly formed units are poorly trained and are no match for the best Ukrainian brigades that originally defended this fortified area. As a result, the Ukrainian army is suffering catastrophic losses, especially in manpower. Kyiv’s daily non-recoverable losses have totaled more than 500 servicemen. The morale of the newly arrived troops is extremely low. The Russians are resisted only by the remnants of the original garrison. However, if the current offensive momentum of the Russian units continues, the whole area will be taken by 10 January 2025.

what a waste this war is..!!!
you wanted it, now you have it.
the wanks wanted the war and they will lose. lol.
no they did not grow up. the elite billionaire industrialist want business to flourish don’t be so naive. course we know what you really are is cunning and disingenuous or attempting to be anyway. not very well imo.
f/wit bot. get off the thread. absolute garbage idiot postings.
politicians should fight for their worthless lives in arenas while the citizens watch. that would be civilized. but unfortunately we live in an uncivilized world in which the rulers sit in the palace and the people are forced to die in the trenches.
mostly civilians die they’re starved to death usually or frozen or die from lack of medicines. or are tortured in prisons many many females are raped to death. that’s reality its not a movie.
for the masses wars horror, murder theft rape tortures starvation disease disfigurement amputations emotial psychological wounds trauma that ruins their lives not so for those who profit from the most profitable business on earth.
and of course lest we forget, all legitimised by the authority for rule of law.
garbage bot clogging up the commentary. that’s what it does.
amerikunt skippy wasted by superior russian–nazi amerikunts defeated in ukraine
politicians and their owners should have to fight for their worthless lives in a big arena…zelensky the clown against putin the kgb judo man. the winner gets a sack of potatoes and a sack of onions. the loser is dead….
putin’s and selensky’s jewish owners will then fight for their worthless lives in the second round……
wrong your persistent with your incorrect facts scott ritter showed clearly that zelensky is really run by the english cardinal in the vatican. in his documentary. imo.
eradicate every anglo fascist nazi–no truce no ceasefire. never appease a nazi american
the nazis were all catholics and the ss were royals.
you pulled that straight out of your ass.
wherever a bot’s ass is located. just fabricated bullshit.
ukraines like gallipoli. remember? you most likely don’t remeber the original story since they’ve completely censored edited and corripted it. here is is. selected young men were chosen to be deployed from australia and new zealand to travel to turkey the orders for them to then attempt a landing were given by an drunken english officer
they had planks to disembark from their vessels on and their own
superior officers sent them at gun point to do so straight into turkish bullets and machine guns. to be mowed down like cannon fodder.
that’s what anzac day was intended to remeber always ” lest we forget”. however they then made it about how the unlucky english officer imo, following his orders from the top down, was given his rank on family background rather than ability. they made that what we were supposed to never forget. now it’s been politically corrected even more so that what we must never forget is the nobiliry of human sacrifice in service
the british did deploy australians and new zealanders to land at gallipoli. beyond that, there is not a scintilla of fact in your posts. the first landings at anzac cove were made on row-boats which had been towed by steamers for three hours after embarking the troops at sea. you’re very silly.
nothing’s done about this bot. just steamrolls the comments section with a stale word salad garbage.
