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 line, Russian troops have advanced towards Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Thus, after prolonged fierce battles, the Russian army's assault groups have 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. Ukrainian assault groups are fiercely fighting back in this stronghold. Additional forces are expected to continue to reinforce this front. Ukrainian forces are strengthening to prepare for a counterattack.

This Russian achievement is considered an important step forward on the Artyomovsk front. Once 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 sending reserve troops to the Chasov Yar area to slow down the Russian offensive.

Russian troops took control of Rabotino.

Vladimir Rogov, head of the We are with Russia movement, shared on his Telegram that the Russian army has taken full control of the village of Rabotino. This is of great significance, marking a step forward in the offensive on Orekhovsky.

During the counteroffensive in the summer of 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces took control of Rabotino. At that time, the fighting was extremely fierce and this was also the place where several 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 area around Rabotino has been called a “graveyard” for NATO military equipment by the media.

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 the 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.
