Breakthrough under Dobropillya: Russian soldiers were threatened by the Air Force (Cards)
But now the Armed Forces stopped the offensive and reflected settlements along the line of Rubizhne - a golden well - fun. Now the Russians themselves are in danger of the environment, reports the BBC. According to a number of messages, some of the Russian units that have advanced further to all to the north were already cut off from the main forces. In particular, the maps of the Ukrainian analytical portal Deepstate and the Russian blogger-propagandist "Ribbar".
The map of the Institute of War Study (ISW) is not indicated by Russian units, but American analysts also write that the Russians will be surrounded. Both sides are now tightening reserves, intense fights are reported. According to Ukrainian military expert Konstantin Mashovets, Russian troops are trying to unblock their advanced units with the right flank between the villages of Shakhove and a new chess in the direction of Kucherov Yar, where they managed to advance about half a kilometer.
They also continue attacks on the main section of the northern flank of the offensive on Pokrovsk - in the direction of the village of Rodinske. "In turn, the Armed Forces continue to counter the enemy at the base of the" neck "of his wedge, seeking to completely cut the wedge in the shortest direction of Mykanorivka - Lighthouse, and gradually narrow the total area of the opponent's attitude," Mashovets reports.
However, in general, the situation on this section of the front remains difficult and can change any moment. The breakthrough near Dobropillya occurred in early August, when Russian troops were drafted in Ukrainian defense for almost 10 km. The General Staff of the Armed Forces had to rescue the situation urgently to prevent the collapse of the entire defense of the North of the Donetsk region.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky connected the rapid promotion of Russian troops with the summit of Putin and Trump in Alaska. "By August 15, to form a certain information space, before Putin's meeting with Trump, especially in the American space, that Russia is going forward, moves, and Ukraine loses," Zelensky reported.
According to the Ukrainian military, the fighters of the Russian Federation gradually leaked into the rear in small groups, bypassing the positions of defense forces, and had no fixing in the new territory. The Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces General Alexander Sirsky said that the Russian units were able to move so dramatically into the conditions of the terrain.
"The area there is, first, is full of a large number of ravines, rivers - areas, the natural properties of which allow to move hidden. And in the summer there is also a lot of vegetation, that is, it is difficult to control the line of combat collision," he explained. In addition, for objective reasons there is no solid front line for objective reasons, which was used by the Russian military, Syrsky explained.
After the Armed Forces were transferred by additional forces, including one of the most capable units - the first building of the National Guard "Azov", they managed to reflect the settlements and areas of the area. On the evening of August 15, the General Staff of the Armed Forces declared "stopping the promotion of the enemy" in the Dobropilsk direction.
According to the military, they managed to liberate settlements from the Russian troops: Georgian, Rubizhne, Novovodane, Petrovka, Merry, Golden Well.
