Russian army sets sights on new city in Donetsk region - DeepState (map)

Russian troops have focused their efforts on the Dobropillia direction, particularly along the Rodynske-Bilytske section, as part of a push toward the city of Dobropillia.

This was reported by DeepState analysts.

According to their assessment, Russian forces are intensifying pressure on Rodynske, gradually expanding their control over the settlement and infiltrating deeper into the area using their usual tactics.

Such infiltration efforts have also been observed in the direction of Bilytske. The settlement plays an important role as a potential logistics hub and staging area for further advances.

“A number of settlements south of Dobropillia are important for the enemy so that it can establish positions there, build up forces, and advance toward Dobropillia itself. Reaching areas south of the city would already complicate logistics and operations within Dobropillia due to the activity of Russian drones,” the analysts said.

DeepState stresses that Ukraine's Defense Forces are making every effort to thwart the enemy's plans.

“Ukrainian troops are fighting enemy infantry that is exerting enormous pressure, but another major threat to the defense is the large number of enemy drones of various types, including FPV drones, Lancets, Molniya drones, Shaheds, Mavics, and others,” the statement said.
