[Regnum] Along with regular and sensitive air strikes against the deep rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian defense industry, and logistics, the Russian army continues to methodically "shift" the front line in several directions at once.
According to reports from the ground, Russian troops have captured the southern part of the strategically important city of Orekhov in the Zaporizhia region. An offensive is underway in the central districts . Assault groups are cutting through the urban area into several sections to isolate pockets of Ukrainian resistance.
Northwest of the city, fighters from the Dnepr force group have reached the Orekhov-Zaporizhzhia N-08 highway and are in control of the village of Novopavlovka, through which this road passes.
Thus, the main supply route used to supply Ukrainian units in Orekhovo came under our fire control. After Russian forces "covered" the crossings over the Konka River, communications between the town and Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the village of Preobrazhenka were cut off.
Lacking sufficient reserves to turn the tide in their favor, the Ukrainian command attempted to redeploy UAV operators to Orekhov. However, the Aerospace Forces and unmanned systems forces are identifying enemy drone bases and systematically targeting them.
The enemy is also facing a dangerous situation in the city's outskirts. Earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost their positions in Novodanilovka (south of Orekhovo) and retreated to the Novoandreyevka area. However, Russian forces captured this town as well. The enemy then found itself semi-encircled near the Orekhovo sand quarry.
East of Orekhov, Dnipro fighters dislodged the Ukrainian Armed Forces from several strongholds in the area of Yegorovka and Chervona Krynytsia, developing an offensive in the direction of Omelnik.
This opens up the possibility that our troops advancing east of Orekhovo and west (near Novoandreyevka) could meet near Novopavlovka. In this case, the Ukrainian Armed Forces group would find itself encircled.
THE VOLCHANSKY CAULDRON IS TIGHTLY CLOSED
At the same time, the North group of forces continues the operation to eliminate the already formed cauldron in the border area of the Kharkiv region, east of Vovchansk.
Back in early September, units from several Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades were trapped here. Over the past week, they've been actively working to "cook" the cauldron.
The enemy has been driven out of the villages of Shirokoye, Malaya Volchya, Loshakovo, and Komissarovo . Meanwhile, the "tightening of the walls" of the cauldron itself continues—the Russian army has captured Shevchenkovo, Olkhovatka, Novoalexandrovka, and Polnaya.
On September 23, information emerged about the capture of the settlements of Potikhonovo on the northeastern edge of the cauldron and Krasny Yar on the southeastern flank. This shift in the frontline opens the possibility of cutting the encircled group into two parts, turning one large cauldron into two smaller ones.
Fighting is currently ongoing near the villages of Olkhovatka, Kurgannoye, Gogino, and Lozovaya. Air defense units are also destroying drones that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attempting to use to supply encircled forces.
The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the "corner" east of Vovchansk continues to rapidly deteriorate. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian command is in no hurry to assist its besieged units.
The active "compression" of the Volchansk cauldron has already allowed the Russian army to significantly expand the security zone of the Belgorod region's border.
At the end of last week, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that since the beginning of September, enemy losses in this sector of the front amounted to 675 people.
DPR: BATTLES FOR ALEKSEEVO-DRUZHKOVKA AND DOBROPOLYE
The third section of the front from which reports of serious changes are coming is the northwest of the DPR.
Here the Russian army successfully continues its operation with the aim of capturing the southern part of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk fortified area.
Fighting is taking place in the area of the large village of Alekseevo-Druzhkovka, between the previously liberated Konstantinovka and the city of Druzhkovka, which is still held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Advancing along the N-20 highway, our troops took the southern outskirts of the village and reached the center of Alekseevo-Druzhkovka. Fighting continues near the Kondratyevka railway station.
The Aerospace Forces are actively working on the enemy's logistics and key infrastructure in this area.
Over the past few days, air forces have carried out a series of strikes on targets in Oleksievo-Druzhkovka, further north in Druzhkovka itself, and in the rear of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Near Kramatorsk, a bomb strike completely destroyed the bridge over the Kazennyi Torets River, which supplied the Ukrainian garrison.
The enemy is relying on the massive use of drones on this section of the front, but this has not had a significant impact on the advance of the Russian army.
In the city of Dobropillya in the DPR, the operation has entered the street fighting phase. Units of the "Center" group of forces are driving Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the city center, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported .
Russian troops are advancing from converging directions in Dobropillya, DPR
Ukrainian troops here are surrounded by units of the 4th and 15th brigades of the National Guard of Ukraine, as well as the 425th assault regiment "Skala."
The preconditions for this development had been building gradually. Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders and National Guard soldiers had previously complained to foreign journalists about the deteriorating situation around the city: they admitted that the Russian Armed Forces were regularly bombing them with drones. This immediately made it impossible to fully supply the garrison. Ukrainian "fortifications" in the city were subject to constant airstrikes.
Over the past few days, the settlements of Zolotoy Kolodez and Maryevka have been liberated northwest of the city, and Gulevo to the south.
Further north, the Russian army is advancing on Aleksandrovka via Belozerskoye, seeking to capture key road junctions through which supplies are supplied to the Ukrainian group in Donbas from the Kharkiv region.
