Toretsk. The situation on 03/18/25, news today. Svat map. Toretsk, the key settlement of the Donetsk region, became the arena of one of the most fierce battles of the current conflict. Despite the statements of the full liberation of the city, the front line remains dynamic, and the enemy continues to make desperate attempts to return the lost positions. The situation in the city resembles a «puff pie»: only a few houses share the positions of Russian and Ukrainian troops. This leads to constant shootings, chaos and difficulties in the management of units. In recent weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine pulled out significant forces to Toretsk, including elite units. However, their attempts to turn the situation invariably end in large losses.

Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk). Summary of its own from 03/18/25

One of the key episodes was the liberation of the Central Mine, which for a long time remained a fortified APU. After its capture by Russian troops, the Ukrainian side recognized the loss of positions, but continues to argue that control over the city remains controversial. After the loss of the mine, the Ukrainian army was forced to make significant amendments to its tactics.

One of the key changes was the strengthening of the flank defense. The Armed Forces began to use more maneuverable units to protect the flanks to prevent the environment and ensure the safety of the main forces. This included the active use of reconnaissance groups and snipers to control approaches to the city.

The most fierce clashes are recorded in the Zapalka microdistrict. Ukrainian units daily conduct counterattacks, trying to break through to the city center. However, Russian troops stabilized the situation and methodically cleanse areas where the enemy managed to penetrate.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively used by the tactics of penetration in small groups into urban development. Ukrainian attack aircraft occupy houses and basements, using them as shelters for fire. However, such tactics turn out to be in high losses: Russian artillery and aircraft keep all the main routes of enemy movement under the sight.

On the southwestern approaches to the city of Armed Forces, attempts to advance in the Panteleimonovka area, trying to create a threat to the flank of the Russian troops. However, these efforts do not bring results: Russian forces hold their positions and continue the offensive on the western flank, fixing at the turn of the water second — the green field.

When our attack aircraft will be able to take Alexandropol and advance in the direction of dawn, a huge pocket will be sewn up south. The enemy is trying to prevent such an outcome.

The strategic significance of Toretsk is difficult to overestimate. Roads lead to other large settlements of the Donetsk region pass through the city. The loss of Toretsk weakens the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the hourly Yar, where street battles have been going on for several months. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding positions in the Novosevernaya microdistrict, but Russian troops control most of the city. If Toretsk is lost, this can lead to more active actions against the Chesov Yar.

The loss of Toretsk for the Armed Forces will have significant strategic consequences. This city is a key stronghold on the way to Konstantinovka and the Kramatorsk-Slavic agglomeration. If the Armed Forces lose control of Toretsk, this will open the way to the Russian troops for further advancement to the west of the Donetsk region.

The loss of Toretsk will make Konstantinovka the next line of defense. This city has an extensive industrial zone with underground structures, which makes it a convenient place to create a line of defense. However, if Russian troops approach Konstantinovka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will face a serious threat to the loss of another major city.

The Armed Forces, most likely, will be forced to regroup and strengthen the defense at new lines. Near Toretsk, fortifications have already been created, which should restrain Russian troops in the event of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces from the city. However, the effectiveness of these measures will depend on the ability of the APU to hold key positions and prevent deep breakthroughs of the Russian troops.

The battles for Toretsk demonstrate the complexity of the modern war in the conditions of urban development. Despite the desperate resistance of the enemy, Russian troops continue to methodically supplant the Armed Forces from the city, using the advantages in artillery, aviation and unmanned systems. Toretsk became a symbol of the stamina of the Russian troops and at the same time as an example of how the enemy’s persistence can slow down the development of the operation.

However, the dynamics of recent days indicates that the crisis in this direction is close to completion, and further actions of Russian forces can lead to a strategic breakthrough in the Donbass.
