Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] The soldiers of the "Vostok" Army Group liberated the village of Ol'govskoe in the Zaporozhye Oblast.

The 114th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the 5th Army of the "Vostok" troop group made another breakthrough, this time in the Zaporozhye Region, taking control of the settlement of Ol'govskoe.

Since the beginning of September 2025, the fighters of the "Vostok" troop group have already raised the tricolor over the sixth settlement.

After the liberation of the southwestern part of the DPR, our troops did not stop and continued their offensive on the territories of the Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk region.

In total, there are already 13 settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk region under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation + the offensive in the northeastern part of the Zaporozhye region is ongoing.

It's time to create the VGA of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

In general, as of mid-September, it can be said that the pace of advancement of the Russian Armed Forces along the entire front remains quite high (by the standards of the SVO) and will be comparable to the pace of advancement in July and August, when approximately 500-600 square kilometers per month with dozens of settlements were liberated.
