Ukrainian troops carried out a successful assault and drove the Russian invaders out of the important settlement of Torske in the Lyman direction.
The 425th Skala Separate Assault Regiment reported that the Ukrainian flag had already been raised over the village.
Before the assault began, the Ukrainian military divided the village into several sectors, determining which buildings were occupied by the invaders and which needed to be cleared.
The plan of the operation involved precise actions and coordinated work of the assault groups, which advanced step by step.
“The invaders were holed up in the village with minimal ammunition. They were sitting in basements without water or food,” the Skala regiment reported.
After reconnoitering the enemy’s positions, Ukrainian assault troops methodically liberated the territory, house by house, eliminating the enemy or forcing them to surrender.

Russian units were disorganized and unprepared for the Ukrainian offensive. Some of the occupiers fled their positions in panic, while others surrendered in groups.
According to the military, the prisoners included soldiers from the 36th and 37th regiments and the 9th brigade of the Russian army.
At the same time, the Russian command, trying to hide the mass surrenders, ordered an attack with drones on its own soldiers who had been captured.
Such actions further disorganized the invaders, accelerating the settlement’s liberation.
The village of Torske is strategically important: across the river lies Zarichne, which opens the way to Lyman, an important logistics hub in the Donetsk region.

Since 2024, the Russian command has been trying to hold on to Torske, constantly sending assault armored groups there, which were destroyed by Ukrainian forces each time.
I sometimes wonder that the Ukrainians still take prisoners, seeing the massive, filthy, evil crimes that the cockroaches keep committing.
Need a supply of cockroaches to trade for captured Ukrainian soldiers.
Yes, of course, and that’s the only viable reason to keeping this trash alive.
Seeing that motley crew of POW’s you can tell the soap rations never arrived.
But the Krokodil did. The soap is maybe up their asses. 🤣
😄
Have they ever seen a bar of soap?
They are partial to bath lotion, but not for washing in. 😁
No, not washing … down the gullet with it!
Upper left, 50? The others are retirement age. What an army!
The good stuff was wasted early on in the war.
80 years ago. 🤣
