BILD reported , stressing that the situation in the area is extremely tense.
Last week, Russian troops entered the village of Dalne in Donetsk region and cut a half-boiler in two near the town of Kurakhove. South of Dalne, several hundred Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend 5-6 villages on the banks of the Sukhyi Yaly River.
Now Russian troops have completely occupied Dalne and have also approached the village of Trudove. Thus, the corridor for the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the villages of Uspenivka and Kostiantynopolske has been reduced to 5.5 km.
The Russian Armed Forces are also advancing north of the Kurakhiv Reservoir. There they took the village of Ilyinka and approached the village of Berestki, and also occupied the approaches to the road and railway crossings towards Kurakhiv. The bridges there are destroyed, but the Russian Armed Forces can now shell the city from the north from just 1-1.5 km. If they manage to restore the bridge and cross the dam, they can attack Kurakhiv from the north, says Ryopke.
