The Russian Eastern Group's advance in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast was very fast yesterday, penetrating Alexeyevka (Oleksiyivka) within a day, advancing about 5 kilometers forward within 24 hours, which is the fastest record of the Russian Eastern Group's advance in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast since autumn.
The Ukrainian military and experts are trying to find out why the Russians were able to advance so far within 24 hours, reaching new positions and trying to adjust the front line along the Verbovo-Alexeyevka line. One conclusion drawn is that the Ukrainian army has "a shortage of front-line personnel" — on the plains in the east of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the Ukrainian defenses have already had "no need to break through" gaps, with widths ranging from 300 meters to 1 kilometer.
Entering Alexeyevka is crucial, as it brings the Russians closer to Pokrovsk, one of the largest transportation and logistics hubs for the Ukrainian army in Dnipropetrovsk. According to geolocation, Alexeyevka is less than 14 kilometers away from Pokrovsk.
