[ColonelCassad] We are accelerating the offensive in all directions.
Since the beginning of this year, over 5,300 square kilometers of territory and more than 220 settlements have been liberated. In September alone, over 670 square kilometers and 27 settlements came under Russian control. The "North" group of forces is successfully continuing to establish a security zone in the border areas of the Sumy and Khar'kov regions.
The destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces formations encircled in the northeastern part of the Kharkiv region continues. Since September 5, enemy-controlled territory has been reduced by 152 square kilometers. Nine settlements (Berezniki, Ozernoye, Dolgenkoye, Zarubinka, Chernyakov, Shiroke, Shevchenkove, Olkhovatka, and Malaya Vovchya) have been recaptured. Enemy losses amounted to approximately 700 service members.
The offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region is actively progressing. Formations and military units of the "Vostok" and "Dnipro" groups are advancing along a broad front toward Zaporizhzhia. Since early September, they have liberated Chervona Krynytsia, Novopavlovka, Novoandriivka, and Rozovka. Fighting continues in the central districts of Orekhov. The most intense fighting is taking place on the approaches to the Kramatorsk-Slovyansk agglomeration.
Formations and military units of the Southern Group of Forces and the "Center" Group of Forces are overcoming fortified enemy defenses on the immediate approaches to Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkovka. Street fighting is ongoing in the central district of Dobropillia. Amid the rapid advance of Russian troops in all directions, Kyiv authorities are once again attempting to convince their Western handlers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to resist our army in the area of ​​responsibility of the "West" Group of Forces.
To demonstrate this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command has committed the most trained units and nationalist formations from the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the battle. At the same time, with the help of Western media and military experts, the Kyiv regime is waging an aggressive information campaign, attempting to portray the Ukrainian Armed Forces' actions as major battlefield successes and a seizure of the initiative from Russian forces.
In reality, small enemy assault groups, suffering significant losses in personnel and attempting to penetrate our combat formations near the line of contact, are unsuccessful. Units of the "West" force group are interdicting enemy forays, inflicting fire damage on them, and preventing them from taking further action. Moreover, units of the group are successfully conducting combat operations to liberate the settlements of Chervony Oskol, Krymki, and Studenok.
In Krasny Liman and Svyatogorsk, the clearing of residential areas of lone Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen continues.
