And when the green trees no longer have leaves, everything becomes as clear as the palm of your hand, and the roads turn into coal-black canals, buried 5-10 cm deep in the ground, explains “Gaiduk”. the weather conditions made it difficult for both sides to conduct combat operations at Chasov Yar. That is why the information that the road from Chasov Yar to the city of Konstantinovka was controlled by the special forces battalion Akhmat of the 4th Special Brigade of the Russian Army was a real military shock to 3 km away from the Seversky Donets – Donbass channel, and H-32 cut route (0514); This is one of the main supply routes for the Ukrainian garrison in the Chasov Yar area from the direction of the city of Kostiantynivka. Experts from the US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) cited independent sources as saying that Russia’s military has advanced along the T0504 Bakhmut highway- Konstantinovka south of Chasov Yar and now 2 km east of Stupochka; but this information has not been confirmed by the Ukrainian side. On October 31, Major Anastasia Bobovnikova of the Russian Army said that the Russian Army reduced the pace of attacks in the Chasov Yar and Toretsk areas, but did not reduce the number of artillery and air strikes. According to the Ukrainian media, a know, “. Russian airstrikes are imprecise and sometimes have to use human wave attack tactics.” However, a military expert from the Finnish group “Blackbird” compared the relentless attacks by the Russian Army against Chasov Yar to a continuous “mole game”. as a result of the emergence of crisis points in the defense forces of Ukraine, faster than the Ukrainian troops can fight, and this is very important for the Russian army not to make big losses. “Blackbird” concluded: “This helps the Russians advance quickly, whenever they find a weakness.” And Vincent Tourre, another Western analyst at the French Foundation for Strategic Studies, dismissed reports in the Ukrainian media, “The Ukrainian army is not afraid of Russian glide bombs”; and he said that “the Russians have the advantage on the battlefield thanks to the help of guided bombs”. overcome them on the battlefield. 46th Home Defense Brigade, 79th Independent Assault Brigade, 18th National Guard Brigade in the settlements of Annovka, Zaliznyanskoe, Chasov Yar, Dalneye, Romanovka, Kurakhovo, Nikiforovka, Seversk and Slavyansk at the front of Donetsk province”.

“Secret” paths the army of Ukraine Usually used for maneuvering, covered with green trees, it can no longer be kept secret, because the forest is in the deciduous season. And when the green trees no longer have leaves, everything becomes as clear as the palm of your hand, and the roads turn into coal-black canals, buried 5-10 cm deep in the ground, explains “Gaiduk”.
In such terrain and weather conditions, it was very difficult for both sides to conduct combat operations at Chasov Yar. That is why it was a real military shock to learn that the road from Chasov Yar to the city of Konstantinovka was controlled by Akhmat’s special forces battalion of the 4th Special Brigade of the Russian Army.
According to the Rybar military channel, the Task Force Akhmat was up to 3 km away from the Seversky Donets – Donbass channel, and cut the route H-32 (0514); This is one of the main supply routes for the Ukrainian garrison in the Chasov Yar area from the direction of the city of Kostiantynivka.
Experts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) cited independent sources as saying that Russian troops have advanced along the T0504 Bakhmut-Konstantinovka highway south of Chasov Yar and are currently 2 km east of Stupochka; But this information has not been confirmed by the Ukrainian side.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Army is trying its best to show its resilience at Chasov Yar, despite a “rain of bombs and a storm of bullets”. On October 31, Major Anastasia Bobovnikova of the Russian Army said that the Russian Army reduced the pace of attacks in the Chasov Yar and Toretsk areas, but did not reduce the number of artillery and air strikes.
According to the Ukrainian media, “Russian airstrikes are imprecise and sometimes they have to use the tactic of attacking human waves.” However, a military expert from the Finnish group “Blackbird” compared the relentless attacks by the Russian Army against Chasov Yar to an ongoing “game of whack-a-mole”.
According to “Blackbird”, such tactics lead to the emergence of crisis points in the defense forces of Ukraine, faster than the Ukrainian troops can cope, and this is very important for the Russian Army that is not cause a great loss. “This helps the Russians advance quickly, whenever they find a weakness,” “Blackbird” concludes.
And Vincent Tourre, another Western analyst from the French Foundation for Strategic Studies, rejected reports in the Ukrainian media, “The Ukrainian army is not afraid of Russian glide bombs”; and said that, “the Russians have an advantage on the battlefield thanks to the help of guided bombs.”
The expert Vincent Tourre also said that the firepower of the Russian controlled glide bomb and overwhelming artillery are the reason that the Ukrainian Army suffered a serious loss of troops and left them under siege on the battlefield.
According to information from the Russian Ministry of Defense on November 2, “Units of Army Group South continued to advance deep
Also in the above areas, the Russian Army eliminated 810 Ukrainian soldiers from combat, destroyed a tank, an infantry fighting vehicle, a Kozak armored fighting vehicle, and 9 vehicles of all types; one M777 gun and two US-made 105mm M119 guns; one 152mm D-20 gun and two 122mm D-30 guns; Israeli ieMHR radar system; electronic warfare station “Enklav-N” and three ammunition stores.
Thus, in one day, the Southern Army Group of Russia expelled three battalions of Ukrainian troops from the fight, which fully confirms the conclusion of the “Blackbird” that there will be almost no Ukrainian troops in the “fortress” of Chasov Yar, as happened in Novogrodovka, Selidove, Gornyak and Kurakhovka.
According to the Major General of the Ukrainian Army, Mr. Sergei Krivonos, who is now retired, said that only 1/10 of the new Ukrainian recruits dared to bravely go to the front; and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian troops have deserted.

Ed bombs.” It highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Ukrainian forces as they contend with increased Russian aerial capabilities during the conflict. This situation is particularly evident in strategic locations such as Chasov Yar, where Russian forces have demonstrated significant operational advantages.
Recent reports suggest that the Russian military has achieved notable successes in the Donetsk province, where they have incapacitated a substantial number of Ukrainian soldiers and equipment in a single day of fighting. The losses reported include significant Ukrainian military assets, such as tanks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces, and electronic warfare systems. This has raised serious concerns about the sustainability of Ukrainian defenses, particularly as the winter season approaches, potentially exacerbating the already difficult conditions on the battlefield.
The situation in Chasov Yar is particularly dire, with Ukrainian troops facing worsening conditions exacerbated by heavy rainfall and muddy terrain, which hampers mobility and operational effectiveness. Ukrainian forces, while attempting to maintain a defensive posture, are facing logistical challenges as Russian forces reportedly manage to cut off critical supply routes.
Moreover, there are indications of a morale crisis, with former Ukrainian military officials noting that a significant portion of recruitment efforts are facing resistance, as many new soldiers are unwilling to participate actively. The Ukrainian government is reportedly seeking to mobilize a large number of new recruits in response to the ongoing pressure from Russian offensives.
as both sides navigate the complexities of warfare in challenging conditions, the balance of power appears to be favoring the Russian military, particularly in key areas like Chasov Yar. The implications of this shift are profound, as Ukraine endeavors to sustain its defensive efforts while grappling with widespread casualties, recruitment challenges, and more sophisticated Russian tactics. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, with ongoing discussions about military assistance and support for Ukraine.
