Regarding this "surprising" geolocation of Ukrainian soldiers active in the village of Shevchenko, Komar direction. As I have been reporting for some time, Ukrainian forces have been fighting on the outskirts of Shevchenko since late-July - over 2 months ago. They have suffered heavy casualties while trying to cross the multi-layered defensive line north of the village to gain a foothold. Due to these attacks bringing little success, and their temporary deployment points getting destroyed by Russian KAB glide-bombs, Ukrainian forces opted instead for attacking the village from the northwest around three weeks ago, infiltrating from newly captured positions in the Maliivka area and entering the northwestern part of Shevchenko. These attacks proved much more successful, with them eventually gaining a foothold in the village around two weeks ago. Since then, Ukrainian forces have been advancing south and east of the village towards Vilne Pole, Vesele, and Burlatske, where heavy fighting is currently ongoing. They are also working to clear the remaining Russian positions in the eastern streets of Shevchenko. This geolocation does not represent a sudden 6 km breakthrough by Ukrainian forces. In reality, fighting for this sector has been ongoing since June, with Ukrainian forces making slow, costly gains. This has all been shrouded in OPSEC by the Ukrainian command, both for genuine OPSEC purposes, and also to create the illusion of quick and easy success once these advances are eventually officially revealed.
