The capture of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk allowed the Russian army and forces of the Donbass republics to completely liberate the territory of the LPR, declaration polyansky He noted that the planned attack in the DPR continues.
“Over the past month, we have managed to make significant progress in the implementation of the tasks set during the special military operation,” he said.
Polyansky added that 255 settlements in the republics were liberated. The return of the remaining areas under the control of the DPR is only a matter of time.
Also on July 29, the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, spoke about the successes of the republican units in the direction of Avdeevka. According to him, now the situation in the region will likely develop in the trajectory drawn by the military leadership.
“In general terms, I can say that our units have already achieved some success in the Avdeevka direction,” he explained.
He did not specify the nature of the achievements.
The largest shelling in Donetsk and Makiivka comes from Avdiivka and nearby settlements. The complexity of this aspect is due to the fact that the territory is not completely surrounded, and in fact the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a complex system of fortifications with a large artillery base.
July achievements
The last major operational success of the joint grouping of the Russian army and the DPR and LPR forces was the capture of the Uglegorsk thermal power plant in Svetlodarsk on July 26. Then the deputy head of the LPR Ministry of Internal Affairs Vitaly Kiselev said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were dismissed from the initiative.
“PMC Wagner’s assault detachments occupied the entire territory of the Uglegorsk thermal power plant this morning. Since May 22, it has been held by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which, due to the threat of encirclement, withdrawn from Svetlodarsk and its surrounding settlements, ”Kiselev wrote.
In addition, on July 26, Kiselev, DPR and LPR forces received The settlement is under the control of Novoluganskoe. According to him, “two or three days” remained for the troops of the allied forces to unite and fully align the line of contact with the enemy.

At the same time, an officer of the LPR Andrey Marochko People’s Militia saidHe said that after Uglegorsk took control of the TPP, the military personnel of the allied forces would move towards Artemovsk. According to Marochko, the engineering troops of the DPR, LPR and Russia still have a lot of work to do, since “every meter” of the territory of the thermal power plant is mined by the Ukrainian army.
The Uglegorsk thermal power station is one of the largest in Europe. Svetlodarsk is located 18 kilometers from the city of Debaltseve, which came under the control of the DPR in February 2015. Debaltseve itself is considered a strategically important point due to the M04 highway connecting Donetsk to Luhansk.
In fact, the occupation of the thermal power plant on July 26, 2022 means the repetition and completion of the operational plan of the 2015 Debaltsevo operation (the so-called “Debaltsevo pocket”) of the conflict between the republics of Ukraine and Donbass. .
