According to preliminary field reports, Russian troops from the Vostok (East) grouping have liberated the settlement of Otradnoe following a swift and decisive assault. Soldiers of the 36th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade (29th Army) spearheaded the operation, raising Russian flags across the newly secured settlement. With this victory, Moscow’s forces have gained control over a critical 10-square-kilometer defensive zone, dealing a significant blow to Ukrainian positions in the Southern Donetsk direction.
The main stage of the battle for Otradnoe lasted less than 48 hours but proved devastating for Ukrainian forces, especially after their recent loss of the town of Bogatyr. Russian troops mopped up nearly 200 buildings and eliminated up to two platoons of Ukraine’s 23rd Mechanized Brigade. The settlement’s capture also grants Russian forces control over a 3-kilometer stretch of the N15 highway, which is a vital route leading deeper into the Zaporozhzhie region.
Ukrainian forces attempted multiple counterattacks to reclaim lost ground, but all were repelled with heavy losses. Near Bogatyr, elements of Ukraine’s 79th Air Assault Brigade launched two assaults using armored vehicles, only to lose their combat machines in retreat. In Otradnoe itself, Ukrainian infantry from the 23rd Mechanized Brigade attacked from tree lines but were driven back, suffering additional armored vehicle losses.
Otradnoe’s liberation marks a key breakthrough in Russia’s broader offensive near Velyka Novosilka, where fighting has intensified at the junction of the Donetsk, Zaporozhzhie, and Dnepropetrovsk regions. The settlement sits on elevated terrain, offering a tactical advantage for Russian drone operators and artillery spotters to target Ukrainian positions in nearby Komar, just 4 kilometers away.

As Russian forces consolidate their hold, they are now pressing to eliminate remaining resistance southwest of Otradnoe while expanding their zone of control toward Komar. Ukrainian troops have heavily fortified Komar, but its defenses are increasingly vulnerable following the loss of Otradnoe.
The fall of Otradnoe represents another step in Russia’s advance in Southern Donetsk direction. With Ukrainian defenses crumbling under relentless pressure, Moscow’s forces are poised to push deeper into key logistical and defensive hubs. As the battle for Komar looms, Ukraine faces an increasingly precarious situation, with Russian drones and artillery now dominating the area.
how is the three-day operation going? hahhaha
that thing that never happened — remember it? of course not. unfortunately, ukrainian propagandists are left with pure fiction. reality doesn’t suit their message. anyone with a shred of logic would grasp the truth and work to end the war. but their focus isn’t on the nation currently being wrecked.
russia secured an afu drone up its arse…hhheeehhhehehehe
when all you have left is insults … you know your time is near its end.
tonight kiev received a lesson up it’s arse with drones and ballistic missiles. fires and destruction raging everywhere. take that clown.
somebody call the sanitation department, there’s ukro garbage on the street….
the good work continues !
bring it on, orcs… we’ll fight to the last ukrainian, then to the last colombian narco, then to the last froggie and limey bean. heheheheheheh
mop up………
“we,ll fight to the last ukrainian -columbian-froggie-limey –sounds like you are a zionist emptying ukraine for “greater israel “.
even the few north koreans beat ukraine out of kursk..hehehehehe.
yes it is sad thing people are so brainwashed or forced to fight russia because the endgoal for the banking elites is to take the natural resources of russia for free🤫
from chasov yar till velyka it’s just one front.
ukronazis suffering massive losses again like everywhere.
the somalian scenario would also be that of the breakup of the russian nation-empire. if the “vertical of power” built by putin were destroyed, how could one imagine the maintenance of a state thirty times larger and ten times more populated?
the red square military parade’s shrinking size and internal security threats symbolize a bigger, deeper problem within the nation. the russian economy is also facing significant challenges. the interest rate remains significantly high, a symbol of an overheating economy, while the talk of further raising the interest rate continues to brew.
long-term effect of the sanctions only started to show much later. russia’s exports have declined significantly. its oil and natural resources must be sold to other buyers below the market prices. these methods strained russia’s ability to generate revenue.
good for russia, they will finally start to diversify their economy, like uae did, with big sucess
humiliated ruzzia is like beautiful music of mozart.
even russians have started joking of russian military incompetence. what happened to andrei raevsky (“the saker”)? all bragging has gone and that fat pig seems to have mentally collapsed like his admired putin’s russian wonderland.
putin doesn’t understand about the true state of affairs inside his defense sector. he thought everything was fine inside the space and aircraft sectors. it was a huge shock for him to learn how bad the situation really is – and this is probably not the last time either.
russia is a leader in space and aircraft sectors. china had to copy russian tech to put a foot on the matter. the us had to import russian rocket motors etc. to name a few examples
victory again 🤔 supposed to finish in three days past three years now.. you call this victory? take it easy with vodka
did you come up with that fantasy or did the us general. attila the coward behind a keyboard and not on the frontline defending for zelensky.
not my war . don’t give as*** about usa either…
settlement by settlement the donbass is being liberated and de-nazified. slava rossia.
you mean invasion somebody else’s country…
historical facts show russia didn’t ‘invade’, as a military intervention isn’t an invasion, and if you want to use the term invasion, how about western countries i.e. invading iraq. “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
*breaking news* the city of sumy has come within reach of long range howitzers and afu/nato can now be hit via very precise drone targeting. for example an abrams tank can be destroyed with just one shell and because there are many ammo depots and nato targets the party is starting🍿🥤🍿
