❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 South Donetsk direction: liberating the "menagerie"
situation as of 12:00, December 22, 2023

🔻In recent days, Russian troops have continued to advance in the triangle of Pobeda, the fortified area known as "Zverinets," and Novomikhailovka. The 20th MRD successfully launched a combined attack, resulting in the Russian Armed Forces gaining control of the "Menagerie."

▪️The struggle for this stronghold has lasted for many months, with control changing hands. Russian fighters were able to occupy it during the summer, but due to lack of support and advances from the south and north, they were forced to retreat.

▪️Now, with the liberation of Marinka and successes in the hedgerows to the north, the enemy has been driven out of the fortified area. Furthermore, the Russian Armed Forces have advanced further along the road, approaching Novomikhailovka from the north.

❗️The most important development in this situation is that the Russian Armed Forces have almost completely taken over the hills between Novomikhailovka and Marinka. This will facilitate the onslaught on Pobeda and Novomikhailovka.

Meanwhile, in Novomikhailovka itself, detachments of the 68th AK are continuing their assault on the southern outskirts of the village. The fighting is taking place in the industrial zone and in the area of the cemetery and farm. To the south, the fighters of the Russian Army have managed to occupy a section of terrain along the pumping station, increasing the coverage area of Novomikhailovka.
