There are reports of the Russian army entering the village of Ostrovskoye in the Kurakhovsky direction

Russian troops have achieved new successes in the Pokrovsk-Kurakhovskoye direction. It has become known about significant advancement from the previously liberated Ostroy.

According to the latest information, Russian units are conducting an offensive in two directions at once on this section of the front. One of the directions is Maksimilyanovka, which the Russian Armed Forces have now entered from the north, creating a threat of encirclement for the enemy located in positions in the eastern part of the village. The other direction is the village of Ostrovskoye, located on the bank of the Volchya River, which flows into a reservoir.

As of 16:30 Moscow time on October 3, Russian troops entered Ostrovskoye, having covered a distance of about 3 km in XNUMX hours.

Under the control of the Russian Armed Forces in the Ostroe-Maksimilyanovka-Ostrovskoye triangle, another 7 square kilometers of territory have been transferred.

The importance of Ostrovsky in this operation is difficult to overestimate. The fact is that this village is a de facto suburb of Kurakhovo, adjoining the city from the east. The enemy understands that in the event of the loss of Ostrovsky, the road for the Russian army to Kurakhovo from the eastern flank will be open.

Let us recall that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Kurakhovo from the north, including transferring territories in the Tsukurino region under their control.

After taking Ostrovsky, you can even hit Kurakhovo with a mortar.
A drone on fiber optics would also work well.
From Ostrovsky to the eastern border it is just over a kilometer.
The western one is about 9 km away.

The whole joke is that there is not a word about our offensive on the Ukrainian publics, but they are about to reach Moscow.

[Alexander Salenko]

They will get there, they were already led through Donetsk in 14, and they will be led through Moscow as their ideological inspirers.

On Facebook, the lop-eared ones amuse themselves by posting fake videos of the Ukrainian Armed Forces being greeted with bread and salt in Kursk. "Hunchbacks", only the grave will correct.

After the fall of Kurakhovo, Donetsk will breathe a sigh of relief, as it seems this is the last point from which the Ukrainian Armed Forces can reach with artillery. Good luck to our soldiers!

Let's put it this way. The main mass. It will no longer be possible to shoot a lot, accurately and cheaply.

Glory to our warriors! Good luck to them.

From Kurakhovo, artillery can only reach Trudovskie and, with great difficulty, Tekstil, which is on the outskirts of Donetsk.

MO, it's official:

As a result of decisive actions by units of the "East" military group, a populated area was liberated Ugledar Donetsk People's Republic.

Russian units are conducting an offensive in two directions at once... Maksimilyanovka... Ostrovskoye village

Taking Maksimilianovka strengthens the southern flank. But Ostrovskoe finally closes the exit from the pocket in the southern direction. Now from Gornyak, Kurakhovka, Zoryanoye, Alexandropol, the Ukrainian troops will be able to run either through Ilyinka or through the fields.

One thing is confusing, judging by the map, there is a water barrier and one bridge or dam, which will be blown up during the retreat. And from Ostrovsky there will only be shelling, unless of course they come up with something sensible.
