On September 15 and 16, the Russian military liberated another settlement in Zaporozhye and advanced in several other directions within the special military zone. Meanwhile, Kiev, weighted down by heavy losses, has resorted to demanding more support from its backers.
The complete liberation of Olgovskoye was officially announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense, which also released footage showing troops from the 114th Motorised Rifle Regiment, operating within the Vostok [East] Group of Forces, clearing the settlement.
Russian troops are now reportedly preparing to advance from Olgovskoye, possibly towards Poltavka or Okhotnyche to the west.
Further to the north in the Dnepropetrovsk direction, the Vostok Group of Forces made more gains to the west of Novonikolaevka and secured forest belts in the eastern outskirts of Berezove. The group also solidified its control over Iskra, which is located on the border between Dnepropetrovsk and Donetsk, after repelling several counterattacks by Kiev forces.

Meanwhile in the Donetsk direction, the Yug [South] Group of Forces advanced close to Yampol, which is located between Seversk and Liman.
The group blocked the railway and all the dirt roads between Yampol and Dronivka, right to the southeast of it. Video footage showed heavy bombardment on the settlement, where Kiev forces appear to be taking heavy losses. However, reports of Russian troops actually entering Yampol remain unverified.

The fall of the settlement could endanger the supply lines of Kiev forces between Seversk and Liman, putting Ukrainian defenses in this section of Donetsk under more pressure.
Right to the north in the Kharkiv direction, Kiev forces are also facing increasing pressure. The Zapad [West] Group of Forces advanced deeper in Kupyansk, reportedly reaching the hospital and train station in the heart of the city. At the same time, the group claimed more territories to the west of Stepova Novoselivka, which is located nearby.
Videos from this direction show several recent FPV drone strikes that targeted Kiev forces within Kupyansk and in its outskirts.
In the Sumy direction, the Russian MoD reported heavy Ukrainian losses near Pavlovka, Alekseyevka, Stepnoye, and Yunakovka. Kiev forces were also struck by FPV drones, according to recent videos from this direction.
Separately, the MoD said in its September 16 briefing that Kiev forces suffered 1,435 military personnel losses in the special military operation zone over the past 24 hours.
The casualties in the area of responsibility of the Sever [North] Group of Forces was 185 troops, in the Zapad Group of Forces area it exceeded 230 troops, in the Yug Group of Forces’ area it amounted to 260, in the area of the Tsentr [Center] Group of Forces it reached 445, in the Vostok Group of Forces’s area over 255, and in the area of the Dnepr Group of Forces there were 60 losses.
While the military situation continues to move in favor of Russia, Ukraine continues to hinder the peace process by making more and more demands.
In an interview with Sky News, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a “clear position” from United States President Donald Trump on a sanctions package for Russia and security guarantees for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president said the only way for the fighting to stop was for defined security guarantees to first be put in place.
“Before we end the war, I really want to have all the agreements in place. I want to… have a document that is supported by the US and all European partners. This is very important,” Zelenskyy said. “To make this happen, we need a clear position of President Trump.”
Of course, Zelenskyy did also forget to demand more military support. In his daily address, he said that Ukraine is awaiting decisions by the U.S. on the supply of Patriot air defense systems and funding for the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List initiative, also known as PURL.
The U.S. does not seem as eager to support Ukraine as before, but even if Trump approved everything demanded by Kiev, the military situation will not likely change. All of these efforts by Zelenskyy seems to be aimed at prolonging the conflict and nothing more.

did you recognized that everything that happened the last few years comes straight out a very bad movie? i mean a jewish comedian, build up by a another jewish oligarch to make a rocketeer tv career to than get president in a country full of nazis to let them fight russia.. yeah no its the same russia, and yeah they know that they do it for america^^ yeah and the rest of the world overrun each other while filling billions and billions and all of our army equipment in this jews slutty mouth.
vladolfs the nazis has stolen from the jews?
in a few years, when all of our beautiful planet is intoxicated, burned and only a few degenrated jewish rats in their bunkers live on, i hope god plans the next world without the juden.. i mean i never thought that it would be possible to create a that complete closed loop of shit but its real. all he creates he does just for dividing, overruling, dictating, poisoning, controlling that 90% of humanity would follow the path to their species full ruin.
vladolf is in the bunker since covid already
he should be pleading for surrender! otherwise, the only help they will get is to be put out of their misery.
if you don’t want to get blown up from the sky then you need to learn to build at something other than a 90 degree angle. square corners do not exist in nature. 90 degree angles can be seen from space. watch the footage and how many things the fpv finds that have a 90 degree angle.
zelensky will of course be given what he needs, it has already been decided for 50 years to begin with. russia end up in a country of the size of latvia, the rest is gone.
putin is marching into nato’s trap…heheheh
you believe in wishes and wizards like the vast majority of dumb westerners (*-*)
nato’s trap has sprung on nato, but retarded bozo the clown is too retarded to notice.
zelenski addresses are rhetoric for eu media propaganda use.
