Other MoA event in Ukraine on Thu 22nd January 2026

In the Omelnyk direction, Russian forces continued to advance amid intensified Ukrainian resistance west of Hulyaipole. 

In the south, Russian forces intensified their assault operations following earlier failed attempts at breaking through Ukrainian fortifications. They advanced from the forest northwest of Dorozhnyanka and captured the railway windbreaks to the west and the neighbouring warehouse complex. This maneuver, along with intensified strikes on Ukrainian logistical routes, forced Ukraine to resort largely to drone-dropping supplies to formations defending the 2022-era fortifications west of Dorozhnyanka. However, due to a lack of drones delivering supplies, Ukrainian soldiers were unable to hold the Russians back, allowing for them to break through and capture the rest of the railway windbreaks, along with additional treeline positions on the tactical heights. 

Meanwhile, the front has largely stabilised west of Hulyaipole, with Russian forces carrying out unsuccessful attacks on strongpoints along the ridgeline there, and on the eastern outskirts of Zaliznyanske. However, these developments in the south could result in a flanking maneuver against the strong Ukrainian positions there. 

Additionally, in the north, Russian forces marginally advanced in the treelines northeast of Zaliznyanske, while DRG infiltrations to the eastern outskirts of Staroukrainka continued. 

+ ~7.87 km² in favour of Russia.
