Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk region is threatened: how the Armed Forces restrained Russians with the help of "new Donbass"

Deepstate analysts reported that Russian troops almost surrounded the village of Ternov, which is in the "gray zone" of Dnipropetrovsk region. The enemy also has the advance near Novoselivka of Sinelnikovsky district. At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry declares the capture of Novomykolaivka, but the General Staff of the Armed Forces and Deepstate do not confirm this information.

People's Deputy Marian Bezugla reported in her Telegram channel on September 15 about the consolidation of Russian troops in the new villages of Dnipropetrovsk region. She noted that the enemy continues the attack in the region.

According to the senior analyst of the Ukrainian Center for the Security and Cooperation of Anton Zemal, the situation in Dnipropetrovsk should be considered in the context of events in the Novopavlovsky direction, located at the intersection of three regions - Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk. It remains one of the most difficult on the front. Russian troops continue to increase pressure on Ukrainian positions, demonstrating high activity and increasing offensive actions.

For example, in August 2025, the total number of combat clashes at the front decreased by an average of 12% compared to July. However, in the Novopavlovsky direction, the situation is opposite - the number of combat clashes increased by 19%, which indicates a purposeful concentration of enemy efforts in this area. In this direction, Russian troops have achieved some progress, which are some of the most notable compared to other areas of the front.

"It is here that the Russians now have a large advancement when compared to other directions. In particular, the Russian units have been able to move towards Velikomikhailivka and Orestopil in Dnipropetrovsk. According to him, the army of the Russian Federation, using a numerical advantage in personnel and technology, tries to stretch Ukrainian defense, creating a threat to its stability.

This allows the Russians to look for weaknesses in Ukrainian positions and create conditions for potential breakthroughs. Despite the difficult situation, Ukrainian troops actively counteract the enemy, conducting counterattack and trying to return the lost positions. For example, the successful actions of the SUU were recorded near the settlements of Tolstoy and a branch of Donetsk region, where Russian troops suffered losses and were rejected.

From a military point, according to Earth, the promotion of Russian troops at the turn of three regions poses a serious threat to the defense of Gulyaypol, in the Zaporozhye region. Moving towards Uspenivka and New Zaporozhye, the enemy tries to create the conditions for the surroundings of Guliaypol, forming the so -called "ticks". In case of success of such actions, the front can be shifted to the Gulyaypole -Pokrovske line, which will significantly complicate the defense of the region.

Such a maneuver would allow the Russians to strengthen control over key logistics paths and create a bridgehead for further offensive. However, in addition to purely military goals, according to the earth, the promotion of Russian troops in the direction of Dnipropetrovsk region has political implication. For the Kremlin regime, any success in the territory of Dnipropetrovsk is an important element of propaganda.

Such "victories" can be used as a pressure tool on Ukraine as part of potential peace talks. For example, Russians can make their promotion as "achievements", which they are ready to "exchange" for concessions from Ukraine or the international community, or show them as a manifestation of "goodwill". However, to talk about the significant successes of the Russian troops prematurely.

In order to strengthen their positions, according to the analyst, the forces of Ukraine continue to work actively on the development of fortifications, especially in the conditions of open steppe territories of southern Ukraine, where large settlements that could serve as defense units are rare. In the Zaporizhzhya direction, fortifications began to be created even earlier, which allowed the Ukrainian military to become fixed in key positions.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, active work is also underway to strengthen the defense borders. In particular, the construction of a new defense line, called "New Donbas" continues. These structures include trenches, armor, anti -tank ditches and other elements that should ensure stability of positions and protection against the offensive actions of the enemy.

In addition to physical fortifications, the improvement of tactics and coordination between different units of the SUU plays an important role. The Ukrainian military is constantly adapting to changes in the battlefield, using both their own experience and modern technologies, including unmanned aircraft and communication systems. This allows you to more enemy goals, coordinate counter -attacks and minimize losses. Recall that in Kupyansk in Kharkiv region fierce battles continue.
