"Hellish" Russian offensive: What’s really happening at the front
There are no stable sectors at the front: an expert warns of the threat of semi-encirclement of Donetsk region agglomerations.

Currently, there is not a single stable section of the front. The dynamics of combat remain intense, and the actions of the Russian army can be described as a "hellish summer offensive."
This was stated by military expert Vladyslav Seleznyov during a broadcast on Radio NV.
The situation around Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad remains challenging. Russia is attempting to create an operational semi-encirclement of this agglomeration, advancing simultaneously from the west of Pokrovsk and the east of Myrnohrad. In some areas, the enemy has achieved tactical gains.
However, the expert dismissed the possibility of a threat to the Dnipropetrovsk region: "As soon as they advance, our defense forces eliminate them within a few hours. The enemy is unable to hold ground there."
Concern is growing east of Myrnohrad, where the "pincers" of semi-encirclement are gradually expanding. Additionally, Russian forces have intensified attacks in the southern part of the Zaporizhzhia region, particularly around the settlement of Kamianske, where a status quo had previously been maintained due to the strong engineering defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Seleznyov suggests that due to this escalation, the Ukrainian General Staff may decide to redeploy reserves to this direction.
"The situation is difficult but under control. The enemy’s successes are strictly local, and the Defense Forces are operating effectively," the military expert concluded.
