Since the beginning of the war, Uglidar in the Donetsk region, which has been an impregnable fortress for the Russians, is soon expected to be captured, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces' 72nd Mechanized Brigade defending it has started to withdraw.
Axar.az reports that this was stated by David Ax, an analyst at Forbes.
He noted that the recent attack on Uglidar appears to be more successful than many previous assaults:
“The situation in Uglidar is critical, and this is likely the final stages of its defense. Last week, while Russian troops threatened the flanks of the city, the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, armed with T-64 tanks, BMP-2 armored vehicles, and M-109 howitzers, consisting of 2,000 personnel, began to slowly withdraw to safer positions.”
