No Russian forces in Dobropillia or surroundings — Ukraine's 25th Brigade

A serviceman with the call sign 'Korin' from the 25th Separate Assault Brigade stated this on Espreso TV.

"In the Dobropillia direction, the Russian army is actively conducting assault operations, taking advantage of weather conditions, and using equipment in addition to infantry. There are many opponents, and Ukrainian defenders are repelling hostile attacks. I am currently in Dobropillia; there are no invaders in the city or its surroundings," the serviceman noted.

According to him, in the summer and early autumn of this year, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups entered the Dobropillia area, but they were destroyed during the elimination of the Dobropillia salient. Then, stabilization measures were carried out in the city; consequently, there is no adversary in Dobropillia.

"Very few civilians remain in Dobropillia itself; most of the peaceful residents were evacuated in the summer and early autumn. Not many locals are left in Dobropillia, but there is logistics in the city, and some shops are open where people buy bread and other products. Although the city now looks deserted, it is not blocked. I urge the civilians who still live there: 'Please evacuate, as this simplifies the work of the military, and moreover, your safety is in your own hands,'" emphasized the soldier of the 25th Separate Assault Brigade.
