The Russian Ministry of Defense's news website reported on the morning of August 12 that the Russian army had completely controlled the village of Zeleneve in the Borovskoye direction of Kharkiv region.
Trump's speech today once again made shocking remarks. Trump started by saying, "I'm going to meet Putin, I will go to Russia on Friday." However, the media generally believe this is a slip of the tongue due to Trump's dementia, and the Alaska meeting has basically been confirmed, which is unlikely to be changed at random.
According to Kalibrated Maps report, the Russian forces have broken through the Ukrainian defense lines north of Pokrovsk (Red Army Village), and the road from Dobropillya to Kramatorsk has been cut off.
Russian forces have newly occupied 60 square kilometers, including several settlements (Vesile, Zoloty Kolyadiz, Kucheryv Yar, Novoshakhov, Doryzne).
The update from the official Ukrainian source DEEPSTATE can also corroborate this information from the side.
This morning, German military journalist Julian Ropke, who is pro-Ukraine, retweeted the update from DEEPSTATE and denounced the Ukrainian army: "If the Ukrainian army does not finally send a 'real' battalion (instead of a 'brigade' at the platoon level) to cut off and eliminate all Russian forces north of Nikaonovka, it will simply hand over the Donetsk region to Putin. Julian Ropke angrily said: 'Really, how long can you (the Ukrainian army command) keep your eyes closed and not see this scene?'
Currently, the city of Kramatorsk, the de facto capital of the Donetsk People's Republic under Ukrainian control, is now entering a critical stage of fierce competition. The situation is escalating, the tension is increasing, and the dynamics of all sides are closely watched!
