Major Blow for Putin as Ukraine Liberates Key Village and Crushes Russian Troops

Ukraine Reclaims Territory, Destroys Armoured Column

Ukraine Strikes Back — A Turning Point on the Eastern Front

Ukraine’s armed forces have dealt a major blow to Russian troops in the Donetsk region, recapturing key territory and killing over 100 soldiers in a surprise assault, reports The Express.

The successful counteroffensive shows Ukraine’s eastern front is far from lost.

Village of Torske Liberated in Strategic Breakthrough

According to The Express, Ukrainian soldiers from the 425th Skala Separate Assault Regiment reclaimed the village of Torske, a vital logistical hub between Lyman and Kreminna.

Control of this route is essential for both Ukrainian defenses and Russian supply lines.

S100 Russian Soldiers Killed, Dozens Captured

The Express reports that approximately 100 Russian soldiers were killed during the operation.

House-to-House Combat Led to Rapid Gains

Ukrainian forces executed detailed reconnaissance before launching the assault.

As reported by The Express, they went house to house to flush out entrenched Russian troops, quickly regaining full control of the village with minimal losses.

Russian Drones Failed to Prevent Surrender

Russian commanders attempted to use drones to intimidate their own soldiers into fighting or prevent surrender,

The Express reports. Despite these efforts, many troops surrendered in groups, unable or unwilling to hold their positions.

Ukrainian Third Army Corps Destroys Armoured Column

Further along the Lyman front, The Express notes that Ukraine’s Third Army Corps repelled a Russian breakthrough attempt near the village of Stavsky.

Using FVP drones and artillery, they destroyed an armoured convoy, including a tank and multiple personnel carriers.

Multiple Gains Across Eastern Ukraine

The recapture of Kucheriv Yar, around 40 km from Pokrovsk, marks another success for Kyiv.

As The Express outlines, this village was previously taken by Russian forces in August but is now back under Ukrainian control — part of a broader push to regain lost ground.

A Costly Day for the Kremlin

Ukraine’s gains on the Lyman front underscore the challenges facing Russian forces. Poor logistics, troop morale, and lack of supplies continue to plague Putin’s army.

With multiple losses and over 100 soldiers dead in a single day, the tide may be turning — at least in this corner of the battlefield.
