Russian sources: Ukrainian forces advance near Komar and Perebudova in Donetsk region

Changes on the front line near Komar

Russian military Telegram channels report increased activity by Ukrainian forces in Donetsk region. According to their data, Ukrainian Armed Forces units are conducting offensive operations near the settlement of Komar, located north of Velyka Novosilka.

Russian sources characterise the situation in this sector as alarming and note that Ukraine is deploying additional reserve units. According to their assessments, Ukrainian forces have managed to occupy between a third and half of Komar. Meanwhile, Russian troops, according to the same reports, are attempting to push Ukrainian units out of the village.

Combat operations in neighbouring settlements

In addition to Komar, Russian channels report that the neighbouring settlement of Perebudova has come under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There are also reports of prolonged fighting for Fedorivka, which, according to some data, has ended up in the so-called "grey zone". Ukrainian attacks continue in the areas of Voskresenka, Maliivka and Shevchenka.

Strategic objectives of the offensive

Ukrainian forces are also intensifying pressure on another section of the front where the Russian military groupings "East" and "Centre" converge. Relying on positions in Novopavlivka, Ukrainian Armed Forces units are attempting to develop an offensive towards Dachne.

Russian military analysts believe that the main objective of the Ukrainian command is to link the flanks of the advancing groups, consolidate on the eastern bank of the Mokri Yaly river, and create a broad front for further advance south, towards Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Russian channels claim that the Ukrainian command intends to continue the offensive and is paying increased attention to this direction.

If Ukrainian forces manage to achieve success, it could threaten Russian positions in Velyka Novosilka and the communications of the "East" grouping, which is currently conducting offensive operations in Zaporizhzhia region.

Assessments of the situation and official position

The Ukrainian military channel Deep State reports that Komar is partially in the "grey zone", where fighting is ongoing. It is noted that this situation has persisted for quite some time, and the source has not recorded any new dynamics in this direction recently. Meanwhile, military analyst Kostiantyn Mashovets previously reported on the advance of Ukrainian forces in this area.

Officially, Ukraine has not reported an offensive here. However, this is consistent with the usual practice of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command, which typically does not comment on the details of offensive operations for a long time.
