The Russian armed forces reported repelling a Ukrainian push toward Kleshcheevsky in Donetsk People’s Republic, according to statements shared on a public messaging channel. The message highlighted the role of Akhmat special forces and the cavalry of additional forces under noted leadership, noting that the Ukrainian advance was halted this morning. The post described the situation as a setback for Ukrainian units seeking to move forward in that area.
New images accompanying the report allegedly showed damaged and abandoned equipment belonging to the Ukrainian forces. The narrative also claimed to show casualties among Ukrainian personnel involved in street-to-street operations. The source indicated that a recent assessment put Ukrainian losses in the Kleshcheevsky direction at a substantial level, citing information obtained after conversations with a prisoner of war from a Ukrainian unit backing the Fourth Assault Brigade of the National Guard.

According to the report, Akhmat units penetrated behind enemy lines, neutralizing multiple mine and breach threats and disabling mortar teams linked to Ukrainian forces. Such statements are part of a broader narrative of targeted actions and countermeasures described by the source.
