31 Aug: Ukrainians Tighten Noose. Russians Run Away Leaving Intact Tanks Behind | War in Ukraine

today there are a lot of updates from the ksk direction here the ukrainians launched a powerful attack at the northern flank of Coro effectively encircling a large concentration of Russian Fighters simultaneously they're advancing on the southern flank setting the stage for an even larger encirclement of Russians in Coro as previously reported Ukrainian forces entered Coro and Consolidated their positions on the Eastern outskirts after the Russians redeployed their main Force away from the town however Russian troops in the area quickly organized a defense along the kpna river which runs through Coro to avoid brutal Urban combat the Ukrainian command shifted its main focus to the northern and southern flanks assembling powerful assault formations to advance from these directions the most significant Ukrainian tactical success occurred on the Northern flank of the Town it was initially believed that Russian forces in this area maintained a solid defensive line along the kpna river except for the village of juravle however Ukrainian forces launched powerful assaults to bypass this line aiming to break through the Russian defenses and reach the railway embankment to the north setting the stage for prolonged clashes the Russian forces defending the line at crano and durova suffered from poor coordination due to ineffective communication and the inability to adapt to Ukrainian advances with a limited number of troops in the region the Russian commen struggled to deploy and cover all gaps in their defenses against the Ukrainian push Additionally the quality of the Russian forces was compromised while experienced Marines were reserved for ambushing Ukrainian raids from the rear the primary defensive positions were meant by conscripts this situation has allowed the Ukrainian offensive groups from the 82nd Air Assault Brigade to effectively use their Striker mechanized units to bridge the scattered Russian defense lines as a result the Ukrainian forces have reached the railway embankment Northeast of corano successfully bypassing the Russian defenses the Russian command's failure to deploy sufficient troops along the defensive line allowed Ukrainian forces to exploit these gaps and launch attacks from behind this situation left the Russian forces with all Escape Routes under the control of Ukrainian assault groups an updated map provided by Ukrainian commander-in Chief sski indicated that the Russians still control the towns of crino and durova this means that Ukrainian forces now hold positions all around them effectively placing the Russian troops in a state of complete encirclement to leverage their newly gained territories for further assaults north of the Town Ukrainian forces will focus on eliminating the pocket of encircled Russian troops while the encirclement almost guarantees the elimination of these forces it will extend the clashes as the Russians have no option for withdrawal consequently the encircled Russian troops are likely to surrender while once they exhaust their ammunition and are no longer able to continue the fight the fall of the durova cran pocket would allow Ukrainian forces to advance on the northern part of Coro capturing this Northern section would sever the Coro hsk Highway completing the encirclement of the Russian Garrison in the town and Paving the way for its eventual takeover simultaneously Ukrainian forces have continued their Advance south of Coran elements of the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade are working to expand the southern flank to secure it for a main assault on Coro from the South during these operations the Ukrainian Marines have established control over the village of vishneva and captured half of karova the goal of the Ukrainian command in this area is to advance and secure positions along the snag River to simplify flank defenses by achieving this they would reduce the number of troops needed to guard the flanks allowing a greater concentration of forces to intensify attack south of coreno and bolster the main offensive the main factor contributing to the success of the Ukrainian Marines in the area is their opposition to the Russian 155th Marine Brigade this unit is notorious for one of the largest Russian failures during the Battle of Vadar suffering such severe losses that it now primarily consists of newly mobilized Personnel although equipped with modern Russian equipment such as t90m tanks and bmp3 armored Vehicles the Brigade lacks the training and expertise to effectively counter the experienced Ukrainian Marines as a result of the engagements between Russian and Ukrainian Marines Ukrainian forces succeeded in capturing a state-of-the-art t90m tank this model is rare within the Russian army making its capture particularly significant the original uncensored combat footage of all operations can be found on our telegram Channel Through the link in the description overall the ukrainians managed to compromise the flanks of corano and encircle the main Russian forces at the northern flank of the Town while also pushing the Russians to the South the ongoing operations on the flanks will allow Ukrainian forces to capture a significant number of encircled Russian troops while continuing efforts to encircle the main Force within the town itself the fall of corevo will pave the way for the next phase of
