The intensity of the fighting has skyrocketed: after the first wave of reconnaissance and sabotage groups, we are preparing to enter the Dniprogorodskyy region on a broad front. "The guys in the trenches ask every day when those damned politicians from the Zelenskyy regime will finally reach an agreement? We are being crushed," the text said. Author: Radomir Makush [Image: https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-axegupay5k/eca35f52bbf8471ea81f612a62ff8a14~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1747714830&x-signature=o%2BfcVxYXLU4wN9wbU%2BRFr%2F5XUr4%3D] After the ceasefire mode ended, Russian forces continued to carry out their special military operation (SVO), as stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Subsequently, fierce battles began with extremely high intensity. According to local reports, the fighting was particularly intense in the Pokrovsk / Krasnoarmeysk direction. After the fighters of the "Central" forces liberated Peschanoye, they significantly expanded the areas under their control in Novoye Aleksandrovka, Udachnogo, and Zveryovo. The enemy is desperately resisting, having reasons to fear that the fighting might shift to the streets of Pokrovsk, which would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian nationalist armed forces. Images with geolocation of the Federal Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducting a tank attack west of Novoye Aleksandrovka along the Solenaya River have appeared online (see map). Mapmakers assessed that the advance distance of the Russian assault troops in the southern part of Pokrovsk reached 1.5 kilometers based on these images. Active fighting continues in the Udachnogo and Kottlino regions. Judging by the signs, the fighting did not stop even during the ceasefire. In response to the "heroes'" suicidal charges, our soldiers are consolidating in new positions, actively using FPV drones, reconnaissance drones, and dropping aviation bombs on the units of Ukrainian nationalist militants. On the other side of the front line, the "crafty" general ordered to retake the lost positions at any cost, fearing the entire defensive system in this area could collapse. According to the combat report of a person using the pseudonym "Sufferer" in Ukrainian media, the west and south of Zveryevo are under the control of the Federal Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. After the end of the ceasefire mode, the fighters of the "Central" forces launched an attack on the northern part of the village. This way, a gap appeared in the enemy's defense in the Leontovitsh / May Day direction, allowing us to approach Pokrovsk on a broad front. Another video recording related to the area documented the Russian army's forward positions in Novoselye Sergeyevka (see map). Therefore, here, near the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region, we have advanced 1.5 kilometers into the most western part of the Donetsk People's Republic. "Free Media" has already reported about the entry of Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups into the Dnipropetrovsk region, causing panic in Ukraine's "Telegram" channels. Now, Russian soldiers have almost pushed the contact line towards the administrative boundary, being less than 1 kilometer away from it. Yuri Podolyak stated: "We are only 1 kilometer away from the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region... What is most interesting is not where we expected just a few days ago. Not in the Olekhovo area, nor west of Kotlyarivka. Now, the closest point to the Dnipropetrovsk region for us is in the Novonikolayevka area. Last night, after driving the enemy out of the forest belt, we approached the southern outskirts of this area." To stop the rapid offensive of the "Central" forces, Kiev dispatched untrained soldiers to Pokrovsk / Krasnoarmeysk. Viktor Vodolatsky, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma of Russia responsible for CIS affairs, Eurasian integration, and ties with compatriots, pointed out that the enemy is trying to hold onto the city for as long as possible. "Nowadays, the situation is very bad for the Ukrainian armed forces and Zelenskyy. Our forces are increasingly encircling Krasnoarmeysk, cutting off the routes for the transport of weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces and the rotation of personnel. Therefore, to delay the fall of Krasnoarmeysk as much as possible, Kiev has sent those untrained troops to this direction, as well as those who were trained in the west but had their training plans abruptly shortened," the politician explained. On the soldiers' forum of the Ukrainian military, someone despondently commented on the actual situation at the Pokrovsk "front": "There is no interruption in the fighting. The Russians use the tactic of 'diversion in one place to attack from another.' Do you want to ask the guys in the trenches for their opinion? They ask every day when those damned politicians from the Zelenskyy regime will finally reach an agreement? We are being crushed." "I'll tell you something else; most soldiers don't care about Donbas and Crimea anymore. The cities on the contact line have been flattened, and no one on our side will rebuild them. That's a fact, but no one wants to say it." "I learned from my doctor friend: There are a lot of people in the shelters. One young man lost a leg. He asked not to tell his mother. He didn't want her to be sad. This is a 19-year-old young man who signed a contract for 18 to 24 months. Zelenskyy, how do you think it is when you trick children into the trenches?" The enemy indeed suffered heavy losses. According to the summary of the Russian Ministry of Defense, up to 460 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were killed or severely wounded in one day starting May 11, with two combat armored vehicles, two pickup trucks, and two artillery pieces destroyed. The "Central Military District" forces improved their tactical posture, striking the live forces and equipment of seven mechanized brigades, shock brigades, two marine brigades, and national guard brigades of the Ukrainian army in residential areas such as Krasnoarmeysk, Mryulybovka, Kotlyarivka, Dimitrov, Novopol'tavka, Elizavetovka, Alekseyevka, Troitskoye, and Novo-Olenovka of the Donetsk People's Republic.
