“In Zolote, in the Popasnyansky direction, the allied forces advanced and are now fighting street battles there.

The grouping in neighboring Gorsky is also blocked,” he wrote on Telegram. 

Also, according to Miroshnik, the allied forces advanced towards the Lisichansk-Artemovsk highway, the LPR units had already entered Nyrkovo and Nikolaevka.

“The route, which has been under the fire control of our forces for several weeks, should be cut and completely sealed in the near future.

Which will significantly affect the situation in the remnants of the "triangle", namely in Lisichansk, where a fairly large group of Ukrainian formations is now concentrated," he added.

Earlier it was reported that from 5,000 to 8,000 Ukrainian militants were concentrated in different directions in Lysichansk.

Russian units in the areas of Tsapovka, Kharkiv region and Lisichansk in the LPR, destroyed five Grad MLRS vehicles, six tanks and other armored combat vehicles, eight field artillery pieces, six special vehicles and three ammunition depots.
