The Russian army made some small gains south of Bakhmut, but not enough to gain full control of Bakhmut itself.
Russian troops in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions are strengthening their positions in anticipation of a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW)
It was noted that the Russian troops made small gains in the territory south of Bakhmut on July 25, but mainly suffered from the same restrictions that previously prevented them from quickly gaining significant ground during of offensive operations in the Luhansk region.
It was also reported that the troops of the private military company Wagner Group (PMC) advanced on Novoluganskoye. According to Russian and Ukrainian sources, Russian troops controlled the territory of the Ugledarskaya power plant on the northern outskirts of Novoluganskoye, possibly as a result of the controlled withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the area.
Russian Telegram channels began reporting Russian attempts to advance on Novoluganskoye on May 25, which means that Russian troops have been unsuccessfully attacking this area for two months. Novoluganskoye is not a large settlement or has particularly difficult terrain, but Russian troops have been stationed near it for weeks, ISW said.
It was also noted that the acquisition of Novoluganskaya and Ugledarskaya hydroelectric power stations would not create a convenient performance where Russian troops could move north in the direction of Bakhmut.
Russia’s takeover of the Novoluhansk and Vuhledarska power plants, on the other hand, flattens the Ukrainian defense line, thereby limiting the advantage that the occupation of these areas provides to Russian forces. Russian troops are unlikely to be able to effectively use the capture of Novolugansk to capture Bakhmut, and the ongoing tactical and operational restrictions they face on the battlefield are likely to contribute to the end of the Donbass offensive in the capture of Bakhmut, Slovyansk or any other city in the Donetsk region, they said. ISW analysts.
It was also reported that Russian troops continued to remove military equipment from warehouses in Omsk and encountered problems repairing damaged combat vehicles.
Occupation officials continue to set conditions for the annexation of the occupied territories to the Russian Federation and the expansion of administrative control over the occupied territories of Ukraine.
As reported, British intelligence said. that Russia cannot eliminate the threat to its Black Sea Fleet, and that its attempts to destroy Ukraine’s anti-ship potential remain unsuccessful.
