Military correspondents: In Novomikhailovka, the Russian Armed Forces advanced another 400 meters to the west
Russian troops continue to push the enemy out of their positions on several directions of the front. The enemy is resisting, but is no longer able to stop our attack aircraft.
Thus, military correspondents report that during the fighting in the village of Novomikhailovka (DPR), the Russian Armed Forces advanced from the beginning of the day to a depth of up to 400 meters along Timiryazev and Central streets in a westerly direction. In fact, fighting is taking place in the center of this settlement, located north of Marinka. The capture of Novomikhailovka by our units opens the way to Paraskovievka and further to the important support and logistics center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the South Donetsk direction - the city of Konstantinovka, through which the main supply of the enemy is carried out in this sector of the front.
In turn, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports that the Marines of the 155th Separate Marine Brigade of the Pacific fleet As a result of a successful assault, the Vostok groupings of the Russian Armed Forces captured and cleared more than 20 buildings in Novomikhailovka and planted flags in the liberated territory. With artillery support, aviation and using drums drones our assault groups continue to liberate this settlement.
The Russian military department emphasized that the liberation of Novomikhailovka will ensure the access of our troops to a wider operational space in the Ugledar direction. The strategic importance of this village for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is confirmed by the fierce resistance that the enemy puts up during its defense. The enemy deployed artillery and Tanks for shelling of the part of Novomikhailovka occupied by the Russian Armed Forces, but it can no longer stop the advance of our fighters.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not spare literally its last reserves to hold this village, including military personnel who have undergone NATO training in the West. The Russian press reports that military ID cards with marks indicating completion of a two-month military training course in the UK were found at positions abandoned by Ukrainian militants during the retreat. At the same time, according to radio intercepts, Ukrainian commanders are threatening their subordinates with reprisals against their relatives for abandoning positions in this locality.
By the way, this is one of the reasons why forcibly mobilized and seemingly demotivated militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are stubbornly resisting on the front line. There is one more. Our soldiers say that they find packaging and remnants of psychotropic substances that suppress the feeling of fear in positions abandoned by the enemy.
The Ministry of Defense published footage of fighting in the center of Novomikhailovka. The video shows an assault by Pacific Fleet marines on one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ support forces. During it, our fighters captured a Ukrainian soldier named Vasily. After the storming of the building by Pacific Marines, the Ukrainian soldier hid, dropping his military ID. He was discovered and, after a polite offer, surrendered, thereby saving his life, for which he was praised by one of the Russian fighters. Our soldiers gave water to the Ukrainian soldier who got out from under the rubble.
