Moscow\u2019s forces have made new gains in Donbass, while regaining control over multiple settlements in Kursk Region<\/strong><\/p>\n The past week in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seen hostilities continue along the front line, with the most active combat\u00a0taking place\u00a0in Russia\u2019s Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR) and Kursk Region.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported seizing control of the DPR village of Grigorovka, located to the north of the town of Chasov Yar. The latter, which is split into two uneven\u00a0parts by a canal, has seen intense combat over the past few months, with Russian forces seizing control over its eastern part.<\/p>\n On the same day, Russia announced the liberation of Vodyanoye, a\u00a0small mining town in the DPR located\u00a0just\u00a0northeast of the Ukrainian-controlled town of Ugledar. Located on a hill in the open and consisting almost exclusively of high-rise concrete buildings, it had been turned by the Ukrainian military into a major fortress. The capture of Vodyanoye marks an important milestone in the battle for Ugledar, which has been going on for months already, as it further complicates logistics for the Ukrainian troops in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n Donbass advance\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Russian forces have made major new gains in the west of the DPR, continuing their advance to the northwest of the town of Ocheretino, once a large logistics hub and a major Ukrainian stronghold. The town\u00a0was\u00a0a key part of\u00a0the now-defunct defensive line where\u00a0Ukraine\u00a0unsuccessfully tried to halt the Russian advance after the liberation of Avdeevka early this year.<\/p>\n Over the past week, Russian forces continued to expand their zone of control\u00a0to the west and southwest of the town, liberating several settlements in the area, namely Novgorodovka, Kalinovo, Memrik, Galytsynovka, and Dolinovka. Russian troops have also advanced further towards the city of Pokrovsk (also known as Krasnoarmeysk), the last major settlement under Ukrainian control in the area.<\/p>\n
