The unexpected offensive of the Ukrainian troops in the direction of Ugledar led to the storming of the city.

As a result of the unexpectedly launched offensive of the Russian army on Ugledar, the Russian troops managed to achieve serious success, getting close to the city. According to Ukrainian sources, the Russian army is already heavily storming the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. This may lead to the loss of control over it, especially since the fortifications here were not equipped by Ukrainian troops.

On the video footage taken by the Ukrainian military, you can see the moment of the assault on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Vuhledar using heavy artillery.

According to the Ukrainian military, in recent days the situation in Ugledar for the Armed Forces of Ukraine has seriously deteriorated. This is due to the fact that earlier the required attention was not given to the protection of the city. The situation is still far from critical, however, the Russian army is already storming the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This forces the units of the Ukrainian army to retreat deep into the city. At the same time, there remains a fairly large risk that Ugledar can be completely encircled, after which its final assault will only be a matter of time.

Judging by the available data, at the moment the Russian army has taken Ugledar in pincers from the southeast and southwest sides, which is quite enough to develop a further offensive with the capture of Ugledar into encirclement, especially given the intensity of the advance of the Russian army over the past few days.
