Umanske

Umanske (Ukrainian: Уманське, Russian: Уманское, romanized: Umanskoye) is a village in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

33, Article 235 of the Verkhovna Rada placed the village in the administration of the Ocheretyne settlement hromada, also incorporating it into the significantly expanded Pokrovsk Raion.

One such village closer to the city, Tonenke, was cited by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a potential staging ground for future attacks towards Umanske, being located only 4 km (2.5 mi) away from the settlement.

[6] Between 30 March and 1 April 2024, this assessment proved itself correct, after a large Russian assault consisting of 36 tanks and 12 infantry fighting vehicles was stopped by the 25th Airborne Brigade on its approach from Tonenke.

[7][8] Further Russian artillery strikes on the village took place in the days following in preparation for future assaults, but remained under Ukrainian control for the remainder of the month.
