Chasov Yar: Russia breaks through Ukraine's defense line, determined not to back down

Russia closes in on Ukraine's main stronghold at Chasov Yar

According to reports from the front, Russian troops advanced towards Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Thus, after prolonged fierce battles, the Russian army's assault groups reached the main Ukrainian stronghold on the southern flank of Chasov Yar, the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

According to SF, Russian forces have breached several Ukrainian defense lines and minefields in the area west of the village of Krasnoe. They are now attacking the canal, which has been turned into a fortified stronghold to prevent attacks by Russian heavy vehicles. In this stronghold, Ukrainian assault groups are fiercely fighting back. Additional forces are expected to continue to reinforce this front. Ukrainian forces are strengthening to prepare for a counterattack.

This achievement by Russia is considered an important step forward on the Artyomovsk front. After the Russian army gains a foothold in the canal area, it will pave the way for a Russian attack on the Kanal district in the city of Chasov Yar from the south. However, things will not be easy because the Ukrainian military command is also increasing its reserves in the Chasov Yar area to slow down the Russian attack.

Russian troops took control of Rabotino.

Vladimir Rogov, head of the We are with Russia movement, said on his Telegram that the Russian army had taken full control of the village of Rabotino. This is an important step in the offensive on Orekhovsky.

During the counter-offensive in the summer of 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces took control of Rabotino. At that time, the battles here were extremely fierce and this was also the place where some famous German Leopard tanks and many Western infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed by Russian fire. The media once described the area around Rabotino as a “graveyard” for NATO military equipment.

The expulsion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Rabotino shows that fierce fighting took place there. The recapture of previously lost positions demonstrates the determination of Russian units.

In this direction, the Ukrainian army maintains its positions only in a number of settlements, including Verbovoye, where fighting is still ongoing. The successful completion of the operation in Rabotino will create the basis for further actions of the Russian army in this direction.
