At night, soldiers of the 31st separate mechanized brigade managed to escape from the encirclement of Russian occupiers north of the village Progres in Donetsk region.
The military analytical resource DeepState writes about this on social networks.
It is reported that Wednesday, July 24, was an extremely dynamic and busy day north of Progres.
“About 14:00, as predicted, a number of observation posts of the 1st and 3rd battalions were completely surrounded. The brigade commander never gave the order for a breakthrough, so the personnel who were in that area confronted him with the fact that the guys They will break through in battle."
According to DeepState, with the help of coordinated actions of artillery, aerial reconnaissance and related forces, as well as under the control of officers on the ground, the guys from the 1st and 3rd battalions were able to break out of the cordon “in full force.”
“It was a very nervous and difficult operation. A delay of even a couple of hours could have led to a second cordon ring. There is no need to explain how many informational reasons the Katsap propaganda would have received.
The most important thing is that the fighters are alive and continue to hold back the enemy. The 31st and 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigades remain the main pillars of defense in that area. Of course, not without the help of seconded units, of which there are quite a lot.
