Russian troops continued ground attacks in the west of the Donetsk region in an attempt to encircle Vuhledar. In particular, we are talking about the blocking of the T0524 highway near this city and attempts to seize the Yuzhnodonbasskaya mine to the northeast.. to surround the town.

According to ISW, the Russian Ministry of Defense of Russia stated that on January 30, their units took advantageous positions in this direction..

At the same time, Russian military observers continued to discuss the heavy fighting in Ugledar on 29 and 30 January..

But some of them claimed that as of January 30, their marines were moving deep into Vugledar.

Earlier, we reported that attacks on Vuhledar may aim to disperse the Armed Forces of Ukraine and create conditions for an offensive: where exactly.

It is worth remembering that the war is not only in the battlefield, but also in the information sphere.. The offensive of the Russians on Ugledar is an ambiguous question. ISW previously explained the purpose of new Russian propaganda stuffing and fakes regarding offensive routes.
