A senior figure from the LPR People’s Militia, a retired lieutenant colonel, stated that Russian troops successfully repelled about five Ukrainian assaults aimed at regaining previously occupied positions in the Serebryansky forest area of the Luhansk People’s Republic. The claims were shared by Andrei Marochko and cited by TASS.
According to Marochko, Ukrainian forces sought to carry out offensives in parallel in the Serebryansky forestry, including the Grigorovka and Belogorivka regions. The military expert described these attempts as unsuccessful, with approximately five Ukrainian attacks being repelled.
The retired lieutenant colonel also indicated that Russian military units targeted Ukrainian positions with artillery and flamethrower systems in addition to aviation support. Ukrainian manpower and equipment losses are being investigated as part of ongoing assessments.
Earlier reports noted that a Russian armored group was involved in action around the battlefield, with mentions of a BMP vehicle malfunction affecting a prior convoy in the region.
In recent open-source updates on the movements of Russian strategic aviation, notes about departures have circulated as part of ongoing information sharing about regional operations.
Analysts and observers point out that statements from retired officers about local engagements should be weighed alongside official combat data. The situation in the area remains fluid, with both sides adapting to shifting frontline conditions and weather factors that influence mobility and fire support.
Press offices and observers continue to monitor the area for further official disclosures. Attribution for the above claims is provided to the cited outlets and the involved military experts, with TASS and regional defense authorities frequently referenced in situational summaries.
