Putin ordered the acceleration of the liquidation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group on the left bank of the Donets River.
The Russian army is rapidly expanding its zone of control along the Seversky Donets River.
The commander of the "West" group of forces, Colonel General Sergei Kuzovlev, reported this to Russian President Vladimir Putin, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Assault units of the 25th Army are developing an offensive in a westerly direction, currently advancing through the forests of the Holy Mountains National Park, thus expanding the control zone along the Seversky Donets River ," Kuzovlev reported.
Vladimir Putin generally noted the successful work in the Krasnolimansk direction.
" Of course, we need to complete the liquidation of this group in the north . We discussed this too, I remember very well, on the left bank . How many enemy forces are left there , according to our estimates?" the president asked.
"In the Boguslav area, we're completing the destruction of the 6th Army's zone, and about 10 battalions remain in the 1st Army's zone. That's just over 2,5 fighters ," the commander replied.
"It's melting gradually. They reported 3,5 just recently , right? You reported it," Putin noted.
