on the 28th, the commander of the 72nd brigade of ugredal garrison was dismissed, allegedly due to promotion. the news was reported by the press service of the "northern" combat command of the armed forces of ukraine.

the brigade commander, colonel ivan vinik, whose promotion and fortune saved him from leading his troops into an encirclement, posted a farewell letter on the brigade's official facebook page.

currently, ugradal is almost completely surrounded by russian troops. it is difficult for ukrainian troops to evacuate from the city. all roads are either cut off or under fire control.

previously, representatives of the brigade complained to the western media about fatigue, lack of rotation and poor construction of fortifications. part of the ukrainian army braved the cover of russian rockets and forcibly broke through, causing huge losses.

colonel okhrimenko, who took over, had previously buried the 14th ukrainian brigade in suledar, and was subsequently appointed as the military commissar of odessa. now he was appointed as the commander of the 72nd brigade of ukraine.

in this way, the remaining troops of ugradal got the last chance to surrender. this surrender order can only be taken by the former defeated army!

if they refuse to surrender, russia will launch a full-scale attack from all directions and completely clear the entire area.

the 46th ukrainian air assault brigade (british-trained paratroopers) stated that the order they received was to "defend the city of ugradal to the death, at least until the end of the visit."

incredible.

by this time ugredal was operationally surrounded and very close to being encircled. the ukrainian army paid a huge price to break out of the encirclement, while russian forces were slowly advancing west, east and north every hour to strengthen their control of the city.

most of the experienced 72nd mechanized brigade was trapped in the city. the brigade took part in some of the fiercest fighting of the war, including the early fighting around kiev, and performed admirably. later, it fought in donbass, including bakhmut.

in the direction of kurakhovsk-pokrovka, the russian army advanced towards the tsukino area.

russian forces successfully entered an old mine area southeast of the settlement. the russian army tried to break through the ukrainian defense line in the area. tsukino was squeezed from two sides by the russian army, and now the russian army was trying to encircle it from the third side.

the russian army may also advance along the eastern tree line. their aim was to bypass hrnik from the west and semi-encircle the town. once the small terykon is captured, future russian offensive operations through the southern fields will be simple.

by the evening of the 29th, russian troops had entered tsukino from the north and east.

tsukinothe loss of gornyak and kulakhovka posed a serious threat. capturing this line would allow the russian army to enter from the rear of kulakhovka and effectively attack the ukrainian army in kulakhovka from the north. the group implemented a semi-siege.

geolocation footage shows russian forces advancing south of katerinivka and seizing a series of treeline positions.

in kulakhovo,a russian column of five armored vehicles advanced along the western tree line. the infantry dismounted near the northern end reservoir and captured many ukrainian prisoners of war.

in my opinion, russia's next goal is to squeeze the ukrainian army out of the eastern salient and then launch a direct ground attack on the agricultural buildings south of katerinivka. the same tactic of attacking from the south and pushing the ukrainian army to the river had been used at costian tinivka and novokhailivka, so it made sense for the russian army to repeat this approach.

the governor of the kherson region claimed that the ukrainian army had withdrawn its troops from the direction of kherson to donbas and kursk regions.

if this is true, then the ukrainian 122nd, 123rd or 124th homeland defense brigade will be sent from the city of kherson to donbas, while the ukrainian 35th or 38th marine brigade or the 503rd marine battalion will be sent from the city of kherson to donbas. the linki region was sent to kursk.
