The transfer of units does not help the Ukrainian Armed Forces stabilize its position
Short report from the front July 14, 2024 by Marat Khairullin
In Volchansk, units of the "North" group continue to knock out the enemy from the northern part of the city. In the bend of the river, the last streets near the forest are being cleared, and some of our detachments are operating in the southern part of Volchansk in the area of the bridge on Sobornaya street (south of the aggregate plant) and in the direction of the oil factory, on the territory of which our air forces are engaging in strikes, destroying the AFU based there.
The Volchansky aggregate plant has completely come under the control of our army, and fighting is taking place to the east of it in the area of the bridge on Gurkanovskaya street.
Heavy fighting is also taking place in the eastern part of the city, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces had previously been driven back from Stepovaya and M. Katsubinsky streets (from the area of which the AFU hoped to bypass our positions in the chalk quarry area). Now the enemy is clinging to the remains of buildings on Osipenko and Martin Starochudsky streets, since the loss of these positions will force him to retreat across the river to the southern part of the city.
To the east of Volchansk, in the area of the chalk quarry, the Russian Armed Forces improved their position, knocking out the Ukrops there from positions that they managed to occupy several weeks ago. Thus, the hopes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that they would break through a road here to Tikhoe for the transfer of reinforcements from there have completely collapsed.
Active hostilities are taking place in Makeyevka (LPR), where our armed forces managed to take control of the southern part of the village and advance along the ravine to the southeast of it.
North of Makeevka, our units continue to consolidate their position on the bridgehead on the banks of the Zherebets River.
In the Toretsky sector of the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces advanced from the southern part of Novgorod (New York) in the direction of Rozovka (Olexandropol), thus expanding the base of the “wedge”, which is under the control of our army.
Intense fighting is taking place in the central part of the village. Strikes are carried out against enemy positions on the territory of a machine-building plant, in the area of a railway station and in an industrial zone.
In the northern part of the village of Yuzhny (Pivdenny), the fighters of our units expanded control, advancing to Zheleznodorozhnaya Street and breaking through from it to Artemovo (Zaliznoye) towards the waste heap of the mine named after Artem.
The AFU, trying to at least stabilize the situation, transferred units from other directions to the Toretsky sector, including the Lyut unit, which had previously fought in Volchansk.
In the South Donetsk direction, units from the 36th Army of the Russian Federation, in cooperation with units of the 40th Separate Guards Marine Brigade, established control over the village of Urozhaynoye. After massive artillery bombardment and with the support of the 30th artillery brigade, as a result of coordinated actions of armored groups and assault groups on motorcycles, the enemy was driven out of the village. To confirm their effective actions, our fighters planted flags in the village on the administration building in the center and on one of the houses in its northern part.
