The offensive Russian army continues to strengthen, and many Ukrainian defense lines on the Ukrainian East Front are on the verge of collapse. Although Ukraine claims to "stick to the end," it does not rely on verbal warfare, but on actions to counter the Russian offensive.
On the battlefield of Red Army City, where Russia and Ukraine are currently the most intense fighting, the battle lines on the map will not deceive. The Russian army invested 160,000 troops in the direction of the Red Army City to launch a large-scale offensive. During the 2025 summer offensive, it focused on launching attacks on towns outside the Red Army City. The Russian army cut off the supply line of the Red Army's City-Ukrainian army in one fell swoop, and made breakthrough progress along the T0515 highway on October 25. As a result, the Red Army's City-Ukrainian army fell into an unfavorable situation of running out of ammunition and food.
Military experts believe that this will be a turning point in the battle of Red Army City, because the supply of Ukrainian troops in Red Army City and the mobilization of reinforcements will be restricted.
Now, the Ukrainian military has had to order the evacuation of the Ukrainian army from the region south of the Red Army city center railway.Russian army, after gradually taking control of the Red Army urban area, began to advance to both wings, which means that the Ukrainian plan to build a defense system using the railway has completely failed.
Further to the Ukrainian army, the Russian army has already surrounded 5,000 Ukrainian troops in the Red Army city and in the direction of Dmitrov, and the Ukrainian army can only be scattered in the city buildings and in the mines.
The Russian side has very kindly stated that as long as the 5,000 Ukrainian troops that were besieged were able to actively give up arms and surrender, they would survive, otherwise they would face total annihilation.
It is reported that the Ukraine military sent a supervisory team to stand in the rear and will be executed immediately if there are signs of Ukrainian surrender. Under the deterrence of the Ukrainian military supervision team, many Ukrainian troops who intended to surrender did not dare to act rashly.
According to the news returned by the Russian army on the front line, the Ukrainian army that was able to actively respond to Russia's ultimatum and surrender was basically on the front line and was relatively close to the Russian army. Because the monitoring range of the supervision team is difficult to reach the front line of the Russian-Ukrainian crossfire, it also reflects a problem from the side. In fact, the supervision team is more afraid of death than the average Ukrainian army. They will only dominate behind the position and do not dare to visit the front line in person. Supervise the battle.
The Ukrainian army in the north of the Red Army City and near the Dmitrov mine was difficult to surrender to the Russian army, and the Russian army has not yet fully entered these areas in order to reduce the large number of casualties. The Ukrainian commander asked the remaining Red Army City troops to hide in the underground slopes of the coal mine to continue to fight.
In accordance with the instructions of the Ukrainian military, it is forbidden for the Ukrainian army to freely leave the position, to do everything possible to delay the Russian army's offensive pace. In fact, the instructions of the Ukrainian army all know that the Red Army City has become an isolated city, the Ukrainian guard does not receive supplies to fight the Russian offensive?
The strict instructions of the Ukraine military are nothing more than treating the Red Army city and the Ukrainian army as cannon fodder. Even if the Red Army city will eventually be captured by the Russian army, they will use the last defensive strength of the Ukrainian army in the Red Army city to create trouble for the Russian army.
Those Ukrainians who were hiding in the underground slopes had no choice but to use the Red Army City mines and underground slopes to rely on the construction of defense works, the Ukrainians began to move the few remaining food, ammunition, drinking water into the slopes, trying to fight the Russian troops on the ground.
In street fighting in cities such as Mariupol and Bakhmut, the Russian army has suffered heavy losses many times. Although the Russian army finally won the battles, the price paid was unbearable. In this large-scale military operation against the Red Army City, the Russian army changed its style of play.
On October 28, the Russian army launched a general assault on the factory area in the north of the Red Army City and the mining fields in the east of Dmitrov. The Russians avoided fighting with the Ukrainians before the operation, instead of choosing to lead the bombing of the mines and underground passages.
A large number of Ukrainian troops hide in the underground slopes, eat and drink Lazarus here, the air quality would be bad, plus the Russian troops destroy the ventilation well, these Ukrainian troops will soon fall into the oxygen-deficient state, when the Russian troops will move the ground forces to carry out the attack will be half-effective.
The Russian army launched a drone for 24 hours to monitor, and the Russian army would quickly destroy it once it found the ventilation well. At the same time, in order to prevent the Ukrainian army from crashing, the Russian army also increased its reconnaissance efforts, as long as the Ukrainian army dared to come out of the ground will be hit by fire.
Basically, these Ukrainian troops hiding in tunnels and mining areas are unable to play a role in resisting the Russian army and can only wait for death to come.
After the Russian army freed up its hands, it further compressed the Ukrainian defense line in the center of the Red Army's city. The Russian Air Force dispatched aerial bombs to carry out bombing. The defenses of the Ukraine garrison were continuously destroyed and had to move to the forest area west of the Red Army City. However, the Russian army's pursuit was very fast, and the Ukrainian army fled to a new position before they could build a defense line. They were attacked.
Judging from the combat intentions of the Russian army, the pace of attack in the direction of the Red Army City and Dimitrov has been accelerated. After the Russian army begins to gather the pocket formation, it will be able to unite its troops, and then it will be able to disintegrate the Red Army City defense line in one fell swoop.
