In the latest developments along the Kremensk direction in the Luhansk People’s Republic, troops associated with Chechnya’s Akhmat special forces and the South grouping have moved into the Belogorovka area near the chalk quarry. The information was shared by a senior commander from Akhmat, who leads the force. The remarks come after days of intensified activity reported by the Russian side and reflect ongoing operations aimed at constraining Ukrainian military positions in this sector.
According to the commander, about five days earlier, Akhmat units had coordinated a push with elements of the Southern Group of Forces, pressing forward in the direction of Belogorovka. He described the progress in concrete terms, noting gains of more than a kilometer and a half on the ground over those days. The advance is part of a broader operational tempo in which various Russian formations seek to establish a firmer foothold across key village and front-line points within the LPR arena.
The commander also indicated that the Akhmat and South forces were currently positioned on terrain associated with a chalk quarry, a location referenced in recent briefings as a notable landmark in the area where fighting has been concentrated. This description underscores the tactical environments in which assault units operate, including quarry zones and other industrial sites that can shape movement, cover, and targeting opportunities during engagements.
Earlier updates from the Russian Defense Ministry had confirmed Russian forces operating near Belogorovka, in the LPR, and asserted that Ukrainian command centers encountered during these operations had sustained damage during the ongoing exchanges. The reports point to a sequence of strikes and counteroffensives intended to disrupt Ukrainian command and control nodes within the contested zone.
In related statements, the leadership of the Chechen republic has highlighted successful actions against Ukrainian forces over recent days, including claims of significant defeats in the area between the towns of Kremennaya and Belogorovka. The asserted outcomes include the capture of additional infantry units or equipment, reflecting a broader campaign narrative about the elimination and disruption of Ukrainian forces in this corridor. Observers note that such declarations are part of a continuous cycle of military reporting that accompanies on-the-ground operations and press briefings from involved authorities.
