The Russians are storming the village of Uspenivka, which is up to 10 km from Kurakhovo. The presence of the occupiers has already been recorded in this village, now they are trying to capture it completely. The number of enemy infantry in the area is constantly growing.

Having captured Uspenivka, the Russians will be able to close the "pocket" of Yelyzavetivka – Romanivka – Veselyi Gai – Hannivka, in which the Ukrainian defenders found themselves. "More than 100 infantrymen from two units are already surrounded. As of now, they may still leave on foot or not leave at all," an officer familiar with the situation in this area tells LIGA.net .
