Zaporizhzhia Front breaks out, Russia takes control of Krasnogorskoye

Russian forces said they had taken control of the village of Krasnogorskoye in Zaporizhzhia, expanding their control on the right bank of the Yanchur River and pushing back Ukrainian lines.

After weeks of fierce fighting, Russian troops have entered the village of Krasnogorskoye in Zaporizhzhia province. A statement from the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that mechanized units of the 60th Infantry Brigade stormed the settlement, cleared Ukrainian defense positions and planted the Russian flag in the center of the village.

According to local sources, the attack took place in an area of ​​about five square kilometers along the banks of the Yanchur River - an area considered Ukraine's natural line of defense on the southern front. With the fall of Krasnogorskoye, the entire strip of territory on the right bank of the river is now under Russian control.

Reports on the ground said the Ukrainian side lost several armored vehicles and several supply convoys were destroyed by artillery fire and suicide drones. Images circulating showed flattened trenches and black smoke rising from burned-out vehicles.

Krasnogorskoye is a small village, but its location is of great strategic value as it lies on the corridor connecting two larger Ukrainian defensive clusters. The Russian capture of the area means that the enemy’s western supply line is cut off, creating the risk of partial encirclement for nearby garrisons.

Military analysts say this is a calculated move in Moscow’s “gradual suffocation” strategy in Zaporizhzhia. Instead of launching a massive attack, Russia has opted for a series of small but continuous breakthroughs, gradually expanding its control and forcing Ukraine to retreat from key positions.

In addition to Krasnogorskoye, five other settlements in the surrounding area have been captured by Russian forces over the past week. Open-source war maps show a slowly forming encirclement around the remaining Ukrainian positions, as Kiev’s logistics network there continues to be strained.

The tempo of the offensive is clearly increasing. Reports from the front line indicate heavy activity by Russian reconnaissance drones, artillery and assault groups. Armored personnel carriers are constantly being used to transport soldiers to the front line and Ukrainian prisoners of war to the rear.

Many experts believe that Russia's acceleration in Zaporizhzhia is not only aimed at expanding its territory, but also to create a diversionary force, forcing Ukraine to thin out its forces concentrated in Pokrovsk and Kharkiv.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian army continued to resist with UAVs, FPVs and rocket artillery, causing significant damage to some Russian mechanized columns. However, reports indicate that Russian anti-aircraft fire has significantly limited enemy UAV activity in the area, allowing Russian strike groups to maneuver more effectively.

In the rear, Russia has stepped up the construction of supply bases and ammunition depots along the Yanchur River, preparing for the next offensive. This logistical stability is considered a factor that helps Moscow maintain the campaign's tempo without being interrupted by Ukraine's lightning counterattacks.

The increased pace of the offensive has led some Western observers to worry that Russia could extend its campaign south of Zaporizhzhia, closer to Melitopol – the key point linking Donetsk with the Crimean peninsula. If this happens, Ukraine’s entire southern defense line could be seriously threatened.

With Krasnogorskoye under Russian control, the picture on the Zaporizhzhia battlefield is changing rapidly. Sources in Kiev admit that regional pressure is increasing, while Moscow claims that it is “advancing step by step.”
