Gulyai-Polye is “almost occupied.” Fighting for the city and north of it
Russian troops have advanced into Gulyaypole, a city in the eastern Zaporozhye region of Ukraine that has seen heavy fighting in recent months, according to the Ukrainian project DeepState, which monitors the situation at the front.
“In the Gulyai-Polye area, unfortunately, the situation is not successful, the enemy has practically occupied the city, is drawing a large number of infantry there, transferring additional forces and is actively operating in the depths, in particular, in the area of Zheleznodorozhny, Staroukrainka and Svyatopetrivka.” ( These are settlements west of Gulyai-Polye. – Approx. )
Donbass.Realii (a project of the Ukrainian RS service) note that the western part of the city still remains a “gray” infiltration zone - that is, not completely under the control of one of the parties. Donbass Realities also cite the words of the commander of the first separate assault regiment, Dmitry “Perun” Filatov, who said that Gulyaypole is “almost occupied,” but “this is part of the overall plan.” “In the near future, I think everyone will understand why the situation is developing this way,” he said in an interview with Donbass.Realities.
Filatov’s regiment is “in the area of counterattack operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the southern sector of the front,” where Ukrainian forces are returning under their control the territories at the junction of the Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions north of Gulyai-Polye.
DeepState also writes about these operations, “from Ternovoye to Sladkoe”: “active battles for the village of Berezovo continue”, and draws attention to the large number of Russian infantry that are “trying to infiltrate into the depths of Ukrainian territory.”
Gulyaypole and part of the front at the junction of the Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions have been one of the areas of the most active military operations in recent months. Russia made significant advances in Gulyai-Polye, while Ukrainian forces liberated significant territory to the north of it.
