Russia shows footage showing troops advancing in frontline
According to reports, the city, along with Volchansk in Ukraine’s Kharkov region, came fully under Russian control as of Monday, Russian General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov told President Vladimir Putin during a visit to a command post on November 30.
In the raw video shared by the MOD, soldiers from Russia’s Center joint group of forces can be seen moving from cover to cover and clearing buildings in Krasnoarmeysk. The city, part of a large urban cluster and a major rail and road junction, is considered an important logistical hub.
Ukrainian forces in the Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrov area have reportedly been encircled for weeks, with Dimitrov now under Russian control, according to Kremlin sources. Russian troops have also started pushing Ukrainian units out of Gulyaypole in the Zaporozhye region, Gerasimov noted.
Last week, Putin cautioned that Ukraine’s defensive line across Zaporozhye could collapse following a swift Russian advance that bypassed fortified positions.
While the Kremlin continues to claim it favors a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it has also emphasized that military actions will proceed if Kiev refuses to make concessions in peace talks.
