@Orca_Mop: Canada was one of the first countries to help Ukraine after the 2014 invasion. Your argument is the same old debunked appeasement bullshit that created this mess in the first place.

RT @Tatarigami_UA: Debates over Zaluzhnyi’s failures in the counteroffensive or Zelensky’s failure to prepare for the invasion, despite intelligence data, are unproductive, as they do not resolve problems. While the enemy still threatens statehood, such arguments should wait for the postwar debates

🇺🇦Ukrainian counterattacks on the southern front - the wider perspective
Between the end of January and the beginning of February, Ukrainian forces began a series of counterattacks aimed at the south-eastern corner of the frontline - split between the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro oblasts.
This area recorded the deepest 🇷🇺Russian advances in late 2025, but the low force density generated by the infiltration tactics used seems to be an exploitable weakness.
The Russian 🇷🇺“Vostok” Grouping faces several 🇺🇦Ukrainian assault regiments along with the 🇺🇦82nd and 95th Air Assault brigades, redeployed from Pokrovsk in late January for the occasion.
Given most of this information has been published by various other sources, we set out to provide a longer perspective on the often neglected and forgotten south-eastern corner of the frontline.

On October 1st, 2024 the ruins of Vuhledar were fully occupied by 🇷🇺Russian forces.
The famous lynchpin of Ukraine’s southeastern front that had withstood the attacks of hundreds of Russian vehicles in the first two years of the war - charred husks of BMPs, BTRs and T-series tanks still populate the fields south of Vuhledar to this day - had given in.
The Ukrainian unit that led the defence of Vuhledar, the 🇺🇦72nd Mechanized Brigade, was rotated out of the area soon after the city fell for rest and recovery, after two straight years spent on the frontline.
In the same days, some 30 kilometers west, the 🇺🇦58th Motorized Brigade would leave the Velyka Novosilka front for the northern border of Kharkiv oblast.
Another “leading” Ukrainian unit, acting as headquarters for attached units in a ~20km wide sector, had now left the southern edge of Donetsk oblast.
These two rotations would spell the end of frontline stability in southern Donetsk.

During the last months of 2024, 🇷🇺Russian forces continued their advance and drove a deep wedge between Vuhledar and Velyka Novosilka.
Units of the 🇷🇺29th Combined Arms Army, the 36th Motor Rifle Brigade in particular, managed to achieve 10-kilometer advances in a single day - relatively impressive figures in the “post-2022” positional conflict.
The 🇷🇺40th Naval Infantry and 5th Tank brigades advanced on the 36th’s left flank.
The 🇺🇦23rd Mechanized Brigade was rushed to the area, attempting to support two battlegroups based on the 48th Assault Battalion and 169th Training Center, but the eastern flank of Velyka Novosilka had essentially collapsed.
Battles would develop similarly north of Vuhledar despite higher force density on the Ukrainian side, culminating in the fall of Kurakhove by the first week of 2025.

Velyka Novosilka, considered a key hub in southern Donetsk, was reinforced by the battle-hardened 🇺🇦110th Mechanized Brigade from the Pokrovsk sector in December - with additional elements attached to compensate for previous attrition, it was expected to hold the town.
However, 🇷🇺Russian elements had already reached the Mokri Yaly river on the northern and south-western sides of Velyka Novosilka, turning the entire urban area into a bridgehead over a water obstacle. Moving both resources and personnel in and out of the city became nearly impossible.
Ukrainian forces retreated across the Mokri Yaly, not without substantial losses, and Velyka Novosilka was lost by the end of January 2025.

By the end of winter, several 🇺🇦ground forces brigades had fully taken charge of sectors in the area. East to west, these were the 23rd, 141st (replacing most of 110th) and 31st Mechanized Brigades.
Directly west of Velyka Novosilka stood the National Guard’s 🇺🇦17th Brigade, previously south of the town and now in charge of the area near Novosilka.
This sector would eventually come under the command of the newly created 🇺🇦20th Army Corps in early summer.
Further west, however, lay the critical area of the southern front: a section of the line entirely under the control of three 🇺🇦Territorial Defence (TDF) brigades, deployed here since 2023 and with a mixed combination of separate TDF battalions assigned to them.
While 🇷🇺Russian pressure between Myrne and Temyrivka had been virtually non-existent until 2024, this would change in 2025.

The Russian 🇷🇺“Vostok” group initially focused its resources on its northern flank - the 29th and 36th CAAs slowly advanced north of Velyka Novosilka during the spring, eventually establishing themselves on the Vovcha river in the summer.
However, the 🇺🇦Ukrainian mechanized brigades (along with Marine and Air Assault units) opposing them prevented any real breakthrough. The Russian offensive pace remained relatively slow.
Around mid-July, it seems the 🇷🇺“Vostok” group shifted its main effort towards the western flank.
Attacks began out of Zelene Pole and Novosilka. By mid-August, Temyrivka was mostly under 🇷🇺Russian control.
The 🇺🇦110th Territorial Defense Brigade’s sector, with its various attached TDF battalions, slowly gave way to the 🇷🇺5th CAA (127th Division, 57th and 60th brigades) and 🇷🇺36th CAA units (5th and 37th brigades).
