Russian forces make significant gains near Andriivka in Donetsk region — DeepState

The OSINT information project DeepState reported the update.

“For some time, the [Russian forces] had been accumulating in the area of Zelenivka and Sukhi Yaly. Now, they have started using their reserves, completely occupying the settlement of Zelenivka and expanding their success towards Ulakly, taking control of the southern part of the village. The enemy has reached the southeastern outskirts of the village of Kostiantynopil and is fortifying its positions there,” the report states.

Russian army has also fully occupied the village of Dachne, which follows Kurakhove in their advance.

“For a long time, Ukrainian Defense Forces were stationed there, but the enemy’s movement toward Ulakly and Kostiantynopil threatened their position. Information is being clarified regarding any remaining presence between Udachne and Zelenivka. At the same time, [Russian forces] are gradually taking over Andriivka, which is the main target in this area,” OSINT analysts report.

Russian troops continue to push forward to align the frontline by occupying the settlements of Andriivka, Ulakly, Kostiantynopil, and Rozlyv.

“The further movement of the enemy will reveal the next objectives they set for themselves,” DeepState emphasized.

• Military analyst Denys Popovych believes that the success of the Ukrainian Defense Forces on the front could completely alter the course of negotiations regarding the resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
