The situation on the Ukrainian front is tense, and the defense battle in Donetsk is intensifying.

Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Syrsky reported the situation on the front line in Donetsk today:

Here is the deepseek translation:

"Today's focus was on the operational deployment of the troops on the front line in Donetsk — visited all command posts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and National Guard units carrying out defensive tasks in the direction of Pokrovsk (Bolshevik village). During this time, met with commanders of drone combat systems units, division and brigade-level commanders, and gained a detailed understanding of the battlefield situation in the threat area.

The most severe situation currently exists in the direction of Pokrovsk, Drobyslav and Novopavlivka (Dnipropetrovsk region). The Russian army is intensifying its offensive to seize our key defensive hub, while searching for weak points in our defense line, and conducting intense fighting simultaneously in multiple directions.

The Russians are employing a "full-scale penetration" tactic, continuously increasing destruction operations behind our lines. Their penetration forces especially attempted to advance towards the city of Pokrovsk. However, the Russian sabotage groups and small units have been cleared by us.

Discussions were held with frontline commanders on the following matters:

Strengthening the stability of the defense, construction of field fortifications, installation of explosive and non-explosive obstacles, other fortification construction, and deployment of anti-drone tunnels. Although related work has already begun, it needs to be accelerated further, expanded in scope, and achieve systematic coordination.

On-site analysis of operational challenges and issuance of instructions:

Necessary combat orders have been issued to ensure efficient execution of the defense mission and to resolve various sudden problems on site.

Thanks to the defenders on the front line in Donetsk:

We sincerely honor the defenders of the Donetsk direction in Ukraine — thank you for your fearless courage and tenacity, and the incalculable sacrifices made under the disadvantageous circumstances against the enemy.

Common mission:

We are fighting together, determined to achieve the ultimate goal: to eliminate the invading enemy and protect the mountains and rivers of Ukraine."
