I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the two hundred and forty ninth day of the war.
Day 249: October 30
In the Luhansk region, the Ukrainians have launched a series of attacks. Most of the lines of attack were opened in the northern part of the region, so in the area where the Ukrainians are planning to make a breakthrough. Russian sources reported that the primary goal of the Ukrainian northern group is to move toward Nyzhnia Duvanka. This is indeed a very important town because it is located at the intersection of three rivers that split this town into four parts. By establishing control over each part of the town and the surrounding area, the Ukrainians will not only cut off all supplies to Svatove from the north, but they will also be able to hit Svatove from the back or at least establish fire control over the region and significantly reduce Russian supply possibilities.
In order to achieve these goals, the Ukrainians are storming Pershortavneve, Orlianske, the Kyslivka agglomeration, and Kuzemivka. The toughest fights are taking place around the Kyslivka agglomeration. The Russians here are in a salient, so the Ukrainians can attack them from three directions, but because the Ukrainians have not breached Russian defensive positions in Orlianske, the Russians in Kyslivka continue to hold solid defense.
In the southern part of the region, the Ukrainians continued assaults in the direction of Ploschanka and Chervonopopivka, which means that the Ukrainians have cut off the Svatove-Kreminna road and do not allow the Russians to use it for transporting ammunition and reinforcing the region.
In the upper Donetsk region, at first, they tried to develop their offensive in the direction of Krasna Hora. However, because the Ukrainians are still controlling the village called Bakhmutske, which is located between Soledar and Pokrovske, the Russians suffered high losses and could not establish positions in Krasna Hora. That is why they started assaulting this village from several sides at once. The fights here are still taking place.
In the central part of the Donetsk region, heavy fights are taking place on the Ukrainian secondary defense line that goes through Vodiane and Opytne. Russian sources claimed that this was a counterattack on the northern part that is allegedly under their control, however, judging by the fact it was just several armored vehicles, it looks like it was just a reinforcement, and the Ukrainians are still holding their positions. Simultaneously, the Russians are trying to develop their offensive in Pervomaiske, but they face significant challenges because this village is very narrow, and the Ukrainians fire at Russians from three sides: Nevelske, Pervomaiske, and Vodiane.
Lastly, in the southern part of the Donetsk region, the Russians launched an offensive operation toward Pavlivka. Pavlivka is a significant barrier on their way to storm Vuhledar. With Pavlivka under total Ukrainian control, the Ukrainians open access to several more roads for supplies and support that are actually much safer. That is why the Russians finally decided to launch their attack here. They started with an extensive artillery preparation that was followed by attacks from multiple sides, but at the end of the day, the Ukrainians are still controlling this settlement while reinforcements are already on the way.
Overall, the Ukrainians are pushing the Russians in the Luhansk region, while the Russians are pushing the Ukrainians in the Donetsk region. This is an attempt by the Russians to force the Ukrainians to relocate their troops back to the Donetsk front and stop their offensive operation. The Russians are trying to impose their rules of the game and regain the initiative. Nonetheless, the Ukrainians stick to the plan and successfully hold off Russian advances. The Ukrainians managed to cut off the most important supply road on the Svatove front, it seems like they managed to retain control over the northern part of Vodiane, which is extremely important, and they managed to maintain control over Pavlivka.
