So far, the trap for the AFU has narrowed.
The towns of Gorskoe and Zolotoe are already almost the full control of Russian-led forces.
Some local pockets of Ukrainian resistance are being destroyed.
- According to the reports from the area, some separate groups of the AFU servicemen attempt to break through the encirclement in Gorskoe and flee to their comrades in the Lisichansk industrial area and Bakhmut. Some of the surrounded are changing into civilian clothes and try to merge with the civilian population to get out of the trap.
A Russian UAV filmed the destruction of the column of the AFU to the north of Gorskoe:
- As the territory around the settlements was heavily mined by the AFU in an attempt to contain Russian offensive, the retreating groups are now blowing up on their own mines. Most recently, a failed attempt of the AFU remnants to break through the minefields in the direction of Bakhmut was reported.
Unfortunately, local civilians are also suffering.
On June 25, a civilian car blew up on one of the mines left by the AFU on one of the roads leading to the town of Gorskoe.
The victim was provided with medical assistance from the servicemen of the LPR People’s Militia.
Meanwhile, civilians are leaving their shelter in the town of Gorskoe.
The Russian military has already provided local residents in the liberated areas with humanitarian aid. The town was almost fully secured by joint forces, military reporters are working in the area.
