Institute for the Study of War
In its latest report at 3 p.m E.T on December 27, 2022, the ISW confirmed that Ukraine has not captured Kreminna. The American Institute writes: “Ukrainian officials confirmed that Ukrainian forces have not captured Kremmina.”
This report was posted on Twitter four hours ago, and they have not mentioned any successful Ukrainian offensive near Kreminna and Svatovo.
Yesterday on the Svatovo-Kreminna front (Zhuravka gully section), an event of local importance took place, but that does not make it any less important. Units of the 3rd motorised rifle division, along with the units of the 74th Guards Brigade, attacked this place and knocked out the enemy (Ukrainians) from the important height of 165.
After suffering heavy losses, the Ukrainians could not withstand the onslaught and fled to the remaining part of the Zhuravka gully under their control. Interestingly, some Ukrainian special forces were left to defend the hill; at least, that is the impression one gets after looking at the Ukrainian corpses and the equipment abandoned by them. The Ukrainian special forces could not defend the place and were killed.
Russian infantry significantly replenished their supplies with good trophy weapons and ammunition from this certain AFU unit called “Kangal (https://t.me/SLGmaps/107).”
The Russian offensive has not stopped there. The soldiers of the 3rd motorised rifle division and paratroopers from the 76th division continue to attack the Ukrainians near Makiivka, with artillery clearly and competently destroying Ukrainian personnel and equipment. They also destroyed several positions , suitable reserves, and medical evacuation points of the enemy (Ukrainian).
