Operational summary. The situation on 10.26.24, News today. SVO map. In the South Donbass and Kursk directions, Russian troops continue their systematic offensive, achieving local successes and approaching strategic goals. Over the past few weeks, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have significantly weakened, and the enemy’s attempts to stabilize the defense line by transferring reserves did not bring the expected result. During active hostilities in the areas of Selidovo, Gornyak and Ugledar, Russian forces are gradually displacing Ukrainian units from fortified lines, bringing the front to the stage of final defeat.

Pokrovskoe direction

Positions in the Pokrovsky direction came under intense fire at night.

In the area Cherry Russian units, despite heavy resistance, are slowly moving forward, consolidating control over new frontiers.

Fighting in Selidovo also indicate the destruction of the defensive positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Yesterday our forces drove the enemy out of key high-altitude points in the east of the city. The continuous offensive of Russian units does not leave the enemy time to regroup: the Ukrainian Armed Forces hold only the western outskirts, where the confrontation is gradually reduced to localized resistance. At the same time, the Russian command has already begun to deploy operations on the closest approaches to the city.

Ugledar Front

Fighting in the area Golden Niva are also moving at an increasing pace: our fighters are doing everything to consolidate their positions and secure the flanks for a further offensive in the direction Shakhtarsky.

Our troops made a major breakthrough in the direction Shakhtarsky and, having marched about five kilometers, took control of important fortified areas. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, faced with a lack of reserves, were unable to hold the local defensive line, which caused another operational crisis. These actions are part of the overall strategy of reaching the Volchya River for the final encirclement of the Kurakhovskaya group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Attacks towards mine No. 42 make it possible to cut the main supply lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison holding the eastern part of the city. Enemy units began retreating at night to the nearest fortifications in Kurakhovkawhere there is increased Russian pressure. According to the command, the advance in this area continues, relying on key heights taken under control by Russian forces.

Overnight the Ukrainian side released 49 shells through peaceful villages, among which the most affected Tavrichanka. As a result of the shelling, an unmanned aerial vehicle exploded near a kindergarten, injuring several civilians. Despite the intensifying shelling, Russian forces are conducting an active fire counter-fight, successfully suppressing the artillery positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Zaporozhye direction

In the area of the Zaporozhye direction, a tense positional struggle remains. Russian troops are strengthening their defense lines, using artillery and drones to track enemy movements. In the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to conduct reconnaissance attacks and attack key positions, but they came across heavy fire from our units. At the moment, holding positions remains a priority, and containment of the enemy is carried out methodically, with the active use of all types of weapons. The enemy is not able to break through our lines, which allows us to maintain a stable situation on this section of the front.
