Ukraine continues to breach Russian lines as its army, outmatched in both north and south, desperately tries to mount new lines of defense.

This same Tuesday, sources from the Krivig Rig front in Ukraine assure

that the Z troops are withdrawing en masse to the south

so as not to be pocketed by the Kiev army from their penetration wedges in Davydiv Brid and Dudchany.

In this weekend's action, which managed to overcome the Russian defenses in this region, the Ukrainian troops managed to advance south, parallel to the Dnipro river bank, about 20 kilometers in a single day.

Many of these soldiers were surprised to find

little enemy presence in several of the liberated towns

, such as Zolota Balka, Leninske, Khreschenivka and Liubymivka.

This morning it was confirmed that the Russians were fleeing from Dudchany by blowing up the bridge to prevent the Ukrainian advance, which was soon forded thanks to improvised pontoons.

According to sources on the ground,

the morale of the Russian troops is at a minimum

after the blows suffered by its army in recent weeks.

In addition, the entire Russian deployment on the west bank of the Dnipro River has been isolated by road for months as the Ukrainians destroyed the two bridges that connect both banks.

The collapse was a matter of time.

At this time the Russian forces (many of them paratroopers),

perhaps the best they had left in the Ukraine

together with Wagner's mercenaries who are still fighting in the Donbas, are withdrawing en masse towards the Nova Krajovka area, much further south, to try to set up a line of defense that holds.

Along the way, the Ukrainian troops have found a large amount of abandoned material.

Highlights include several museum specimens of the T62 tanks, hauled out of old Cold War warehouses to make up for catastrophic Russian losses in the battles of kyiv and Kharkov.

The T62 (in service since 1962)

is the one that appears in the black and white photographs in the Prague Spring

(1968), which gives an idea of ​​the degradation suffered during these months by the Russian army.
