The Ukrainian army has lost control of the village of Orestopol, located along the southern Donetsk axis. Ukrainian forces reportedly suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat, while Russian troops continue their advance toward the nearby village of Velikomikhaylovka.
According to Voennoe Obozrenie, Russian forces gained control of roughly 12 to 13 square kilometers of territory over the past 24 hours, pushing closer to Pokrovsk. These advances have strengthened the eastern flank of the offensive and created favorable conditions for further movement in this sector.
Analysts note that the loss of Orestopol carries serious tactical and logistical consequences for the Ukrainian army. The settlement sits on a critical supply route connecting the Krasnoarmeysk and Zaporozhye directions. Continued Russian advances in the area pose a growing threat of encirclement for the Ukrainian grouping near Gulyaypole.
