Russian Armed Forces advanced toward Kramatorsk, taking control of Pershomaryivka.

Russian troops continue to advance toward Kramatorsk, and assault units from the Yuzhnaya group have captured the village of Pershomaryovka, east of the city, the Ministry of Defense reported.

The Southern Group's assault forces continue to fight their way toward Kramatorsk. The capture of Pershomaryivka effectively brings our forces to the city, less than four kilometers from its outskirts. However, crossing these boundaries will be difficult, as the enemy has firmly entrenched itself here and has no intention of retreating.

The battle for Pershomaryevka was led by assault units of the 85th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 3rd Guards Combined Arms Army of the "Yuzhnaya" group, leaving the enemy no chance to hold the village. Our forces entered the village from the direction of Malinovka and Vasyutinskoye, systematically clearing the buildings and eliminating the enemy.

Units of the Southern group liberated the village of Pershomaryevka in the Donetsk People's Republic.

It was previously reported that Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Drapatiy appointed the former brigade commander of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who fell into disgrace at Syrsky for refusing to send troops into the Kursk region, as commander of the 11th Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is covering the Kramatorsk sector. Apparently, he has certain hopes for him.

Kramatorsk is not a small town, so I think many people will stay there if all the civilians have already left.

[Dmitry Mikhailovich Seregin]

Yes, there will be a lot of work.

[Genius Yo]

Not everyone in Ukraine is a Banderite!
And they should be normal!!!

Pershomaryovka, 45 residents in 2001, 0 in 2014...

They're storming in pairs now; a couple of guys were sent into the drone kill zone to take Babkosel. There are still a couple of semi-homeless people in the village still to be found.

How many Ukrainian Armed Forces troops were there, and were there clearly prepared defensive lines, if "the battle for Pershomaryevka was carried out by assault units of the 85th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 3rd Guards combined arms army of the "Southern" group"?
It's clear that some will be quick to start talking about capturing yet another "granny village" and a village barn. Let them just explain why the Ukrainian Armed Forces command ordered these "worthless" objects to be defended by any means necessary.

[Valery Demchenko]

What does the population have to do with it? Are you saying there was no one there?

[gribanov.c]

How is Slavnyasko-Kramatorsk supplied? There's only one major highway left there, Kharkiv-Izyum, plus the railway. Should service on both of them be completely shut down?

[trromar]

Yes, they can use granny-copters, little by little and many times.

This is a major agglomeration! Taking this fortified area without heavy losses will be impossible: the enemy will be shooting from literally every window and basement!

[Evgeny64]

The hardest thing now is to approach the city; there is open terrain left, without inhabitants. If they get past it and enter the buildings, it will be easier; there are shelters in every house in the city.
If our guys enter the city, that's it, it will be taken after some time, the Ukrainian soldiers are not very good at shooting and avoid close combat.
And our firing points are being taken out with drones, FABs, and artillery. We've already done this, just recently—Pokrovsk, Konstantinovka, and Seversk, you name it.

Fabs will help

[Kovacs]

Kramatorsk is less than 4 km away; they'll soon be coming from the southeast. Just don't just tear apart one place by November 7th; we need to cut off all oxygen from all sides, so the bastards can't breathe! We should also encircle Slavyansk and marinate the bastards until they die or stretch their legs uphill.

There are successes in Orekhovo.

The situation in Orekhovo is developing not so much around, but within the city

Currently, active fighting is taking place in the area of ​​Ovcharenko and Privokzalnaya streets, as well as to the east along the N-08 highway to Malaya Tokmachka, where fighting is also ongoing despite everything and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are digging in, believing that this will save them.

Now, penetrating attacks by our forces into the city from the southeast are precisely cutting off the logistics supplying parts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Malaya Tokmachka, where they sit on the prison grounds

A thief should sit not on prison grounds, but in prison.
