Today morning, pro-Ukrainian source AMK admitted that Russian forces have completely occupied Chasiv Yar and Dzerzhinsk. In fact, the Russian Defense Ministry had officially announced the capture of Dzerzhinsk in February, and after that, it was just futile Ukrainian military actions that did not affect the local ownership situation.

This morning, Russian forces captured Sukhoy (Sukhetsk), and bypassed Rogovskyy from the north, completely cutting off the road to Krasnoarmeysk.

After bypassing Nikonorovka, Russian突击队 entered Merzhalovo (Dorozhnoye / Dorozhnoye), which is currently an empty village, with all people evacuated and freight trains from the station being moved to Dnipropetrovsk.

According to Lisytsin, a Russian battlefield journalist, Russian forces are still clearing the area in Vyzhlevo, southeast of Krasnoarmeysk, and there may still be many landmines or infiltrated Ukrainian troops there.

Konstantinovka (Donetsk Constantinovka) south of Alexander-Kalynov was completely captured and cleaned up by Russian forces, and the 10th Guards Tank Regiment of the Southern Group Army has already raised the Russian tricolor flag in the settlement of Alexander-Kalynov.

In other words, the two mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian armed forces west of the Krivbass-Biky reservoir have completely lost their withdrawal routes. They can only go through the passage from the Kryvyi Torets River to the reservoir in the east, which is currently no wider than 1.5 kilometers.

Media report from "Today Donbas": North Korean troops are preparing to enter Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), possibly becoming a gateway for Russia's special military operation.

The city of Krasnoarmeysk, which is about to be occupied, is no longer just a minor incident on the front line. This city is increasingly seen as a strategic entry point where North Korean troops may participate in military operations.

Analysts estimate that by the end of August or at the latest early September, the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area may completely collapse or turn into chaotic retreats. This will create a very rare opportunity to deploy additional forces, which not only can hold the territories already captured but also allow Russian突击部队 to focus on advancing towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

After capturing the city, the Russians will enter a tough phase: demining, restoring municipal infrastructure, and launching supply lines. In this phase, North Korean experts and soldiers can play a decisive role. They have already been tested in the Kursk region, where they effectively integrated into the Russian command system and demonstrated high discipline.

The form of private military companies directly controlled by the Russian Ministry of Defense may become a legal convenience shell for North Korea's participation. This will allow them to be incorporated into the operation without formal obstacles and avoid excessive attention from international organizations.​
