Military observer Oleksandr Kovalenko discussed the issue on Telegram.The invading Russian forces bypassed heavily defended areas along Donetska Street, where establishing positions proved difficult, and instead forded the river at its least monitored points. The infiltration groups have now penetrated deep into the city, reaching as far as the Central Cemetery.This tactical maneuver poses significant risks to both Huliaipole's defense and the broader stability of right-bank positions in the Zaporizhzhia region. In response, units from the 29th and 36th Combined Arms Armies have been redirected to reinforce the 5th Combined Arms Army, which has been severely depleted by intense fighting on the Huliaipole axis. This redeployment has complicated further advances north of the left bank, though forces from the 29th and 36th armies are expected to assume those responsibilities while the 127th Motorized Rifle Division and 57th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade concentrate entirely on the battle for Huliaipole.Kovalenko noted that while the current infiltration appears concerning, the situation is not irreparable. With proper countermeasures and timely tactical decisions, the compromised areas can be cleared. He drew parallels to similar challenges faced in Kupiansk, emphasizing that the key lies in making correct and prompt decisions. However, he acknowledged that decision-making on this front has been seriously problematic.
