❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on February 21

▪️The AFU once again shelled the border villages of Popovo-Lezhachi and Veseloe in Kursk Region.

As a result of the strikes, the settlements were partially de-energized and several residential buildings were damaged.

▪️Heavy fighting is taking place near the gas compressor station near Spirne, which has become the AFU key point of defense in this area in recent months.

The offensive is hampered by a wide network of the enemy’s trenches and underground communications.

▪️North of Bakhmut, the Wagner PMC groups entrenched themselves on the outskirts of Yahidne, occupying a section of the road leading to Berkhivka.

The liberation of the village will significantly complicate the situation for the AFU in the northern part of the city.

▪️In Bakhmut, Russian forces are advancing from the direction of the meat processing plant towards Artemivsk non-ferrous metal processing plant.

The assault is complicated by underground communications and industrial buildings.

▪️The AFU once again carried out strikes on the civilian infrastructure of Donetsk and nearby towns.

More than five houses were damaged in the DPR capital. In Volnovakha, the strike damaged several residential buildings, a man was wounded.

▪️In Mar’inka, Russian troops continue to slowly push the enemy westward: fighting is taking place on the southern outskirts near the tire-repairing plant.

The Ukrainian command does not intend to give up positions and, despite heavy losses, is redeploying new reserves to hold the front.

▪️Near Vuhledar, the AFU managed to push Russian Naval Infantry back from their positions west of Mykil's'ke.

The enemy is redeploying reserves, including HIMARS MLRSs, planning to continue its offensive towards Pavlivka.
