East Zaporozhye - 07.12.2025

"The situation in the East Zaporozhye direction as of 17:00 /Moscow time/ December 7, 2025
Units of the "East" group have consolidated their position inside Huliaipole. Despite Ukrainian attempts to prevent Russian stormtroopers from reaching the outskirts of the city, the Russian Armed Forces are already advancing on its territory. At the same time, Russian troops expanded their zone of control to the northeast of the city and the assault detachments are fighting their way to the Haichur River.
To the north, Far Eastern troops are gradually advancing toward the P-85 highway. The enemy still maintains the ability to transport reserves and supplies to Huliaipole along this route, despite regular drone attacks. However, as they consolidate their positions, the Russian Armed Forces will gain direct fire control over this route.
Meanwhile, on the northern flank, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are launching counterattacks. Through flanking attacks, they managed to push Russian units out from the territory of Tykhe. However, Ukrainian control over this village is out of the question - the enemy infantry groups that broke through were suppressed by Russian drone operators and effectively cut off from supplies on the southern bank of the Vovcha River.
This localized attack was intended both to create another "flag victory", and to draw away the Russian reserves, however the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to achieve significant success and effectively sent their assault groups on a "one way trip", without slowing down the pace of Russian offensive on Huliaipole."
East Zaporozhye - 09.12.2025

"The situation in the East Zaporozhye direction as of 14:00 /Moscow time/ December 9, 2025
While everyone's attention is focused on the battle for Huliaipole, the "East" group continues to liberate the southern Dnipropetrovsk region.
Units of the 36th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces established control of Ostapivske, from where the enemy had previously counterattacked toward Danylivka and Nechaivka. Having exhausted their forces in the offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were unable to hold Ostapivske. Thus, Russian units expanded their bridgehead north of the Yanchur River.
Furthermore, a further advance along the P-85 highway to the north is becoming even more likely, especially since the enemy is actively thinning its own troops. Now, the "East" group faces the possibility of another battle between two rivers - this time between Yanchur and Vovcha.
Meanwhile, the southern flank remains the site of heavy fighting - crews of TOS flamethrowers of the 35th Army are burning out the enemy in the center of Huliaipole. Interestingly, rumors have recently surfaced online about Russian troops allegedly losing control over the city center - even though it is currently being softened by artillery. According to our information, this was due to the virtual successes that some ostensibly pro-Russian websites are attributing to the Russian Armed Forces for the sake of hype. In reality, this only serves to undermine the situation, giving enemy propaganda the opportunity to claim that Russian attacks, which never happened, have been repelled."
