Divgen News reports that on the morning of August 13, the Russian forces completely controlled the town of Red Army to the north of Hryzhanivka, thoroughly cleared out the remaining Ukrainian troops, and captured 42 Ukrainian soldiers.
Just now, the Russian blogger Divgen updated the frontline situation in the direction of Red Army village. The Russian forces have occupied the settlement of Hryzhanivka. In the direction of Rokytne, they cut off the T0515 road in the northern part of the city and entered the urban area of Rokytne.
The Ukrainian defense line at Red Army village has truly collapsed. The Russian forces have swallowed up eight villages in one go. The Russian forces have occupied settlements such as Hryzhanivka, Suhotsky, Nikanorivka, Dorozhne, Ivanivka, Novoshakhyvka, Vyrne, and Kuchyrevka, and have cut off the section of the Kramatorsk-Drobypillya road (T0514) east of Novobodiana.
The breakthrough by the Russian forces in the direction north of Red Army village was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. However, the breakthrough data is quite interesting. Some say it is 20 kilometers, some say 10 kilometers, and some say 13 kilometers. Basically, those who say 20 kilometers are definitely selling emotional value; 10-13 kilometers fall within the normal range.
According to the news from "Spring of Russia," the Russian special forces DRG have already reached the suburbs of Drobypillya! This city will soon be surrounded.
A brief Ukrainian military reporter from a local channel described the situation in the Drobypillya/Drozhzhe region: According to intercepted information, the Russian army is preparing to encircle Drobypillya. Their current target is Belozersk.
Considering the situation on the battlefield, if our (Ukrainian) command does not take any action, the Russians will reach Belozersk in about 7 days. Locals do need to leave this place immediately.
