The village of Urozhaynoye, located to the west of the Donetsk People’s Republic, became the focus of a renewed military operation as Russian forces reported a successful counterattack. The claim came from Vladimir Rogov, a representative of the public movement We Are With Russia, relayed through his Telegram channel.
According to Rogov, Ukrainian units had briefly established a presence in the northern part of the village. However, control of the settlement reportedly shifted back to Russian troops after the counterstrike.
Rogov stated that last night’s actions led to a decisive break, with the RF Armed Forces delivering a counterblow that reversed the Ukrainian advance and restored full control over Urozhaynoye. He described the fighting as intense, with battles fought at the level of individual houses as the two sides contended for every inch of territory.
On the eve, Denis Pushilin, the acting head of the DPR, commented on the outcome, noting that Ukrainian forces were unable to breach the defense and enter the settlement. The statement underscored the stubborn resistance faced by Ukrainian units along this stretch of the front.
Since Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, developments along the line have produced a constant stream of updates. This report follows the evolving events in Urozhaynoye and the surrounding area as the conflict continues to unfold.
Earlier reports indicated a difficult phase for Ukrainian servicemen, with some units reportedly retreating across prepared routes or attempting to withdraw under pressure. The latest developments present a shift in momentum in this segment of the front, as control of key positions continues to be contested and redefined by ongoing engagements.
