The commander of the «Akhmat» special forces battalion, known by the callsign Shram, reported that remnants of several Ukrainian brigades in the Serebryanskoye forestry and its surrounding areas are now almost completely encircled.

He specified that elements of Ukraine’s 119th Territorial Defense Brigade, as well as the 66th, 53rd, and 63rd brigades, remain in this sector. According to him, all of these units are currently trapped in a semi-encirclement that is close to becoming a full cauldron.

Russian forces continue to fight heavy battles in the Serebryanskoye forestry in Donbass. The area lies between the city of Kremennaya in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) and the village of Serebryanka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). Securing control of the forestry would open the way for Russian troops to advance further along the Krasny Liman axis.

Earlier, Shram had already told reporters that Russian units were making steady progress within the Serebryanskoye forestry.
