Zеlеnskiу / Оfficiаl / Telegram

The 125th Ukrainian brigade has lost contact near Gulyaypole. Command reports soldiers may be missing, wounded, or killed as battles in Zaporizhzhia intensify.

Ukrainian media report that communication has been lost with troops from the 125th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operating near the Gulyaypole sector. According to the brigade’s command, the fate of the soldiers remains unknown — they may be missing, wounded, or dead.

Officers explained that it is currently impossible to determine the exact status of the personnel. Units that had been deployed near the villages of Poltavka and Olgovskoye in the Zaporizhzhia direction were operating under the command of another formation. For that reason, the leadership of the 125th Brigade did not participate in planning or coordinating the operation and therefore could not influence or comment on the events that unfolded.

Ukrainian sources say search efforts are now underway to locate the missing soldiers and confirm their whereabouts. The brigade’s command has pledged to meet with relatives of the missing personnel and provide verified updates as soon as they become available.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue advancing toward Gulyaypole from the Donetsk People’s Republic. Fierce fighting is ongoing in the eastern part of the Zaporizhzhia region, making the situation on this sector of the front increasingly tense.
