Brief Frontline Report – March 2nd, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 3
Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov congratulated the command and personnel of the 123rd Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, Awarded the Order of Valor, Named after Marshal K.E. Voroshilov, on the liberation of the settlement of Reznikovka in the Donetsk People's Republic:
"Servicemen of the renowned Guards formation, displaying bravery and selflessness, continue their liberation battles. As a result of professional and decisive actions, the enemy has once again suffered significant losses and been defeated on the battlefield. "
The large settlement of Reznikovka (48°50′08″ N 38°01′03″ E, population 593 in 2001) has been liberated. It stretches for nearly 9.5 kilometers along the right bank of the Sukhaya River. On the left bank of the river, near the western outskirts of the settlement of Reznikovka, lies the settlement of Kaleniki—one of the areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defensive hub of Kaleniki - Rai-Alexandrovka - Fedorovka 2. This is the central node of the enemy's defensive positions covering the eastern forefield of the city of Slavyansk.
Information is coming in about significant advances by Russian units to the north in the direction of Platonovka - Krivaya Luka, and to the south in the areas of Bondarnoe - Nikiforovka and Privole - Fedorovka 2.
Through wide flanking envelopments, units of the "South" Group are forcing the enemy to withdraw to the right bank of the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, into the area of the second defensive line.
