Significant progress has been made by the Russian forces towards the Red Army City! The Russians launched an offensive towards Dobropillya in the north of the Red Army City, advancing 11 kilometers. Dobropillya is the supply center for the Red Army City and Kostyantynivka. This offensive captured nearly 60 square kilometers of territory, and the news has been confirmed by several Ukrainian media outlets. "Azov" 12th Assault Brigade's former chief of staff, Bogdan Krotovych, also confirmed the success of the Russian forces.
The well-known Ukrainian media outlet DEEP STATE also confirmed this information. DS stated that the Russians found a weakness in the Ukrainian defense line and used突击小队 to quickly advance, with the second wave consolidating the occupied areas. Due to the numerical advantage of Russian infantry, this offensive achieved significant success. Currently, the Russians have entered Kucheryavye and Zolotoy Kolodiya, and they are gathering forces to continue expanding their gains. They are also strengthening their positions near Veselye. DS believes that the deterioration of the situation hinges on the newly built high-quality defensive fortifications in the Zolotokolodiy and Shakhovo areas, which may be captured by the Russians due to insufficient manpower. Once lost, it would be extremely difficult to reclaim.
At the same time, DS wrote bitterly, stating that the Russians advanced along the Dubrovsko-Kramatorsk highway, controlling the areas of Novovozhano and Petrovka. Currently, multiple sources indicate that this highway has been cut off. As events develop, if the military fails to reverse the situation, we may face the fact that the fall of Dobropillya could happen faster than that of Pokrovsk.
This Russian offensive was reported two days ago by the Ukrainian media outlet "AKM," and later by several Russian media outlets. However, as there was no video evidence at the time, it was not released. This time, after careful reconnaissance, the Russians discovered that the defense forces in this area were very few (subsequently, a diagram detailed the distribution of Ukrainian defenses around the Red Army City), and they decisively launched an offensive. The purpose was to cut off the connection between the Red Army City and Kostyantynivka, encircle the supply center of the Red Army City, Dobropillya, and bring in drone teams for deep attacks. This offensive will make the situation of the Ukrainian forces surrounding the Red Army City even worse, and they will need to reorganize their logistics supply routes.
