Russian forces push forward in Kurakhove and other three villages in Donetsk Oblast — DeepStatе
The Russian military has advanced in Stari Terny, Kurakhove, and near Pushkyne in Donetsk Oblast, DeepState monitoring group reported early on Dec. 3.
The Russian forces made progress near Kruhliaivka in Kharkiv Oblast.
Analysts also updated the frontline near Novyi Komar in Donetsk Oblast.
Situation in Kurakhove
On Nov. 11, Russian forces destroyed the dam at the Kurakhivske Reservoir. The head of the Kurakhivska Military Administration, Roman Padun, reported that water levels were rising in villages along the Vovcha River.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggested that the Russian forces may have targeted the dam to cause significant and prolonged flooding west of the reservoir, aiming to aid their efforts to encircle Ukrainian forces north and south of Kurakhove.
On Nov. 15, DeepState reported that the Kurakhove direction remains one of the most challenging fronts, with 690 combat clashes occurring over two weeks there.
On Nov. 27, ISW reported that Russian forces had 43% of Kurakhove.
According to the Operational Tactical Group Khortytsia, only 625 residents remain in Kurakhove. ISW analysts believe that Russian forces are attempting to encircle Ukrainian troops east of the O0510 Kurakhove-Velyka Novosilka road to isolate Velyka Novosilka.
On Nov. 30, DeepState noted that the situation in and around Kurakhove continues to deteriorate.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
