The Krasnolimansky direction saw claims from the Russian Defence Ministry about the capture of a Ukrainian stronghold by units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Reportage from the ministry indicated that rapid maneuvers and a disciplined defense enabled the motorized rifle unit of the Center troop group to repel Ukrainian assaults and take a fortified position through tactical flexibility on the battlefield, stabilizing a line of defense at a newly occupied point.
According to a battalion chief of staff cited by the ministry, Ukrainian forces had launched nearly a dozen attempts to break through in recent operations, with the Russian side fending off each wave and pressing its own defensive actions to hold the gains achieved in the period of combat.
Further details from the Russian defence brief described the arrangement of post engagement duties. Guards were assigned to the newly secured lines, defensive measures were prepared to deter further incursions, and aerial reconnaissance was conducted using small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles to monitor the situation and gather situational intelligence.
On 27 November, the Russian Federation’s Defence Ministry reported ongoing attrition in the Krasnolimansk direction, noting daily losses among Ukrainian personnel reaching up to 280 combatants. In addition, the Ukrainian side reportedly suffered losses of two armored fighting vehicles and three other military vehicles in the same sector.
Earlier statements from Ukrainian commanders acknowledged a perceived advantage by the Russian side in the deployment of FPV drones, highlighting a notable factor in the current operational dynamic in the region.
