In recent days, major events have occurred in Vuhledar in the direction of Yuzhnodonetsk. After several weeks of offensive operations by the Russian army, by the evening of September 24 the city was almost completely occupied by the Russians; there was a narrow corridor and a road to the north left for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to some reports, the road is under Russian fire control, and now the only escape route for the Ukrainian troops remains through the fields. Artillery strikes of all types and aviation on Vuhledar have been seriously intensified, and footage of the presence of advanced groups of Russian infantry in the city has been circulating in the sector social sphere. At the same time, front-line soldiers warn about the inadmissibility of victorious reports before the combat mission is solved: against the background of the unsuccessful offensive of Russian troops on Vuhledar last year, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have turned it into a powerful fortified area, into which Russian forces break through with wide cover and deprive the Ukrainians of supplies.

In the direction of Kharkiv, as a result of counterattacks by the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the military occupied the ruins of the Vovchansk aggregate plant on the bank of the Russian-controlled river in Vovk. Against the backdrop of the frozen offensive of the Russian army in the direction, this event has no prospects for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the occupied buildings of the plant themselves will become a point of attraction for the FAB and the UMPC.
In the direction of Torets’k, heavy fighting is reported in the city, where Russian troops continue to fight in the building. In the Pokrovs’k direction, there are battles in Mykolaïvka, the Russian army surrounded Selidovo.
