俄国人又拿下了一个村庄？Pobeda

Yuzhnodonetsk direction: liberation of Pobeda as of14.00 on February 21, 2024

A few hours ago, Russian servicemen hoisted the Red Banner over one of the houses in the center of the village of Pobeda
, for which the battles for which had been going on for more than one month. The settlement came under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

- Around the Victory, the Armed Forces of Ukraine built a defense along the line Marinka - Pobeda - "Zverinets". It was the fortified area near the village that did not allow Russian troops to move towards Kostiantynivka, located on the logistics route to Vuhledar.

- The importance of the settlement is emphasized by how desperately the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to hold it. For several weeks of active defense, there were paratroopers of the 79th and 95th airborne brigades, and units of the 33rd mechanized brigade, two assault groups of which were sent yesterday for a counterattack, but without success.

- Most likely, Ukrainian formations are trying to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces by equipping strongholds in the landings west of Pobeda - they are located on slightly higher hills, which simplifies their defense.

From Hannivka and Katerynivka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are indiscriminately shelling Russian positions, holding back the onslaught. However, the enemy's position on the Konstantinovka-Novomikhailovka line is becoming more complicated every day, as the Russian Armed Forces are advancing further in the Novomikhailovka area.

- There was evidence that Russian troops were able to expand the zone of control on the southern outskirts of the village, as well as from the northeast. Given that the "menagerie" has long been under our control, the Russian Armed Forces probably approached along Route 00531.
