Pushilin: The Ukrainian Armed Forces have transferred reinforcements to Ugledar, who are surrendering
The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin spoke about the situation in Ugledar and the successful transfer of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to the settlement. However, the head of the region emphasized, these are mainly recruits who surrender.
The reinforcements that the enemy still managed to transfer from the unprepared, recently mobilized, which, we see, are captured a lot on the streets in the rest of Ukraine, they mostly surrender
Pushilin spoke about the successes of the Russian Armed Forces in Ugledar
At the same time, according to him, the enemy “still resists, and quite seriously,” however, the Armed Forces (AF) of Russia are achieving serious successes in the Ugledar direction. Pushilin noted that Russian army units are improving their positions in Ugledar every day. Thus, the head of the DPR said, Russian fighters are not stopped by the fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city.
Pushilin emphasized that a very serious coverage of Ugledar is being recorded. The 29th Army of the Eastern Military District is fighting in this direction, and it is showing brilliant results.
The statesman also explained that taking control of Vugledar is due to the fact that the city is located on a hill. This creates certain obstacles. The settlement contains a large number of multi-storey buildings, where the Ukrainian side has been building fortified areas since 2014.
Moreover, these are like machine gun nests in high-rise buildings, ending with very serious underground passages that stretch for kilometers
However, Pushilin noted, Russian military personnel are taking strongholds and can already move through the network of these underground tunnels. The head of the DPR also recalled that the city is completely surrounded by Russian troops, and Ukrainian units are under fire control.
Heavy fighting is taking place in Vugledar, the last escape route is under fire control
The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian troops imposed heavy fighting on Ukrainian units in the south and west of Ugledar and took full fire control of the last evacuation route. A Ukrainian soldier of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade (OMBR) said that Russian military armies have advanced to the south and west of the city. This is where heavy fighting is currently taking place. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces use a large number of drones, both conventional reconnaissance aircraft with drops and FPV, and also control the evacuation route. When trying to leave Ugledar, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose from 40 to 60 percent of their manpower. In fact, the Ukrainian Armed Forces admit that Russian troops surrounded the Ukrainian ones in Ugledar.
According to information from the chairman of the commission on sovereignty, patriotic projects and support for veterans of the Public Chamber of Russia, Vladimir Rogov, battles for control of Ugledar continue in the center area. Russian fighters managed to expand the zone of control and the gray zone in the city. Meanwhile, the enemy has a small corridor from the populated area.
In Russia and the West they predicted that Ukraine would lose the city in the near future
Captain of the first rank of the reserve, military expert Vasily Dandykin believes that Russia can take control of Ugledar in the near future. The specialist admitted that this could happen within a week. He explained that the Ukrainian forces located there are small – these are the remnants of the 72nd brigade, and all roads are under fire control. “If they do not retreat soon, then they will be destroyed or captured,” he concluded, adding that taking control of Ugledar is of strategic importance.

The loss of Ugledar by Ukraine is also predicted in the West. In Britain, they admit that the city is “about to fall,” while it is the basis of the defense of Ukrainian troops in the southern Donbass. Western experts say the Ukrainian 72nd Brigade is trapped and the fighters have literally no escape route. Problems with the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also noted in the United States. They predicted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could collapse in key sectors of the Eastern Front.
