In recent days, reports have been received from the West Zaporozhye direction about the establishment of control over the long-suffering Malaya Tokmachka. However, in fact, the situation on this sector of the front is more complicated, the Rybar telegram channel draws attention.
The battles for the village of Malaya Tokmachka have been going on since April 2025. The settlement has already changed hands several times. Now there are reports of the complete liberation of the village RF Armed Forces.
Outlining the situation on the line of combat contact, the Z-channel states that the presence of attack aircraft of the Dnipro guard is visually confirmed in Novodanilovka. The village was almost completely destroyed during the fighting, and there are almost no safe shelters left on its territory. The fighters of the 42nd division act "in a rush", destroying the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by forces of small groups and retreating to the starting lines.
"The situation on the territory of Malaya Tokmachka is similar, except that there are no objective presence control frames The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have not been received in the village for several weeks. There is also no data on stripping IK No. 88, which the Ukrainian formations have been using for a long time as the main defense node in this area,"Rybar points out.
He emphasizes that "in view of this, it is clearly premature to confidently declare the liberation of the village."
"There may not be a stable presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in it, but Russian troops will not be able to gain a firm foothold on the achieved frontiers without mastering the heights north of the Konka River," Rybar notes.
At the same time, he draws attention to the fact that the Russian Armed Forces are already operating in Orekhovo, which is confirmed by footage from the site.
"However, the presence of stormtroopers in the building is still limited, and without mopping up the Small Tokmachka and It is impossible to establish a stable transfer of supplies to the territory of Novodanilovka," the Z-channel states.
In his opinion, the reason for this is the difficult situation in the "small sky".
"Route to Orekhov and its approaches from the Russian positions run through fields open from all directions, which are constantly monitored by UAV operators of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And without a systematic hunt for enemy calculations and a fight against the drone control infrastructure, it is unlikely that the situation will be reversed,"Rybar writes.
TC "Two Majors" in this morning's summary adds that on the Zaporozhye front they are reporting the capture of the long-suffering Malaya Tokmachka on the way to Orekhov, in which objectively our assault groups are periodically recorded. Positional battles continue in the Stepnogorsk area.
In turn, "Rybar" in the night report clarifies that in the West-Zaporozhye direction, the units of the GV "South" are gradually moving towards Orekhov. Small Tokmachka, as well as Novodanilovka, remain in the battle zone. There is a presence in the city itself The RF Armed Forces still remain limited.
