Huge losses of the occupiers near Dobropolis.
Despite the fact that Russian troops are approaching major cities in Donbass, there is no threat of Konstantinovka falling at the moment.
At the same time, the advance of the enemy army has forced the introduction of a reinforced curfew in Druzhkivka, according to The Economist.
Izyum in Kharkiv region is also under attack from enemy drones. That is why all transport now takes a detour.
The source notes that back in August, Putin's army managed to find a weak spot in the AFU defense near Dobropillya. In just a few days, the enemy moved forward by 13 kilometers.
If then the enemy's plan had worked and he was able to gain a foothold at the new height, Pokrovsk could have been surrounded.
This advance cost the enemy up to 10,000 casualties in manpower, said "Azov" Arsen Dmytryk. According to him, the enemy has lost up to 50 tanks and armored vehicles on this section of the front over the past week alone.
