according to ukrainian military reports, the situation in ugradal has reached a critical moment. soldiers from the ukrainian 72nd mechanized brigade described an increasingly desperate battle with numerous casualties and little hope for evacuation.

"bodies are lying on the roadside and the wounded have not been evacuated," a ukrainian soldier said with a serious expression.

it was reported that ugradal was surrounded by russian regiments and attacked from three directions together, vodiany, prechistivka and pavlivka.

within the city, russian troops are advancing to the east and west of the city.

at the same time, the russian army has advanced towards bogoyavlenka in the north of ugradal, about 1 kilometer away from the village, and the depth of the advance has reached .8 kilometers.

this place has now become the main retreat gathering place for all ukrainian troops around ugradal, but it has now fallen within the range of russian firepower.

one video clip showed a russian military flag hanging from a building in western ugradal.

the 5th guards tank unit and the 430th motorized infantry regiment of the "eastern" army occupied the high-rise buildings in the west of the city.

ugradal is under fierce attack from russian artillery fire. drones, multiple rocket launchers, and heavy artillery are taking turns to launch indiscriminate bombardments against the remaining ukrainian troops.

on a dairy farm between pavlovka and ugradal (south of the city), the russian army raised a victory flag.

the remnants of the ukrainian 72nd brigade began to slowly surrender because they never received orders to withdraw from ugradal. the news was reported by the ukrainian tg channel "resident" citing sources from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine.

shirsky expressed dissatisfaction with the ukrainian 72nd brigade troops trying to leave ugladal, so he did not issue a withdrawal order.

although the russian army has conditionally opened a dirt road to bogoyavlenka, it is now too late. since the city was completely under fire control, attempts to leave the city along it resulted in heavy losses.

against this background, the uzbek 72nd brigade stopped trying to leave ugradal and began to surrender, which so far was mainly small-scale.

a tg channel related to the ukrainian army wrote:

"sources from the general staff said that in ugradal, the ukrainian army began to surrender to the enemy, because the retreat road from the city was under the control of russian firepower, and we suffered heavy losses during the retreat. shirsky from the ukrainian armed forces were not ordered to withdraw from ugladal, which would lead to the destruction of the 72nd brigade.”

currently, about half of the city is still under the control of the ukrainian army. in ugradal, in addition to the troops of the 72nd brigade, there were other troops, and not everyone in the 72nd brigade would give up.

"the situation is very serious," stanislav benyatov, a member of the aydar battalion, said, citing a source within the ukrainian military. "there is intense fighting on multiple fronts."

the ukrainian army faced continuous artillery fire and a large number of enemy drones (including reconnaissance and combat fpv), which were controlling escape routes. "the sidewalks are a prime target for mortars and artillery," one soldier explained, adding that of the ten-man group trying to leave the city,usually only four to six people make it safely.

the promised rotation has been delayed for more than a week, with commanders urging soldiers to hold their ground, citing changing battle conditions.

however, the lack of evacuation is increasing and bmp et al.armored vehiclehaving been targeted before reaching the city, evacuating the wounded on foot is almost impossible under the constant surveillance of drones.

supplies, including food, ammunition and fuel, were running low.

but no matter what, they have two choices - either be prisoners or follow because the city will be completely wiped out.
