The war in southwest Donetsk: Novopavlivka direction

The Russian Armed Forces are preparing for a general assault on the last line of engineering and fortification structures on the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The main emphasis is on the direction of Sribne-Troitske-Gorokhove and Novoelizavetivka-Kotlyarivka. The goal is to reach the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region, storm the defense line on the Sergiyevka-Novopidhorodne-Muravka-Dachne line and enter the operational space.

In addition, one of the tasks is to prevent the construction of full-fledged defense lines in the depths of the region. Moreover, thanks to numerous publications and public resonance, part of the new lines of engineering and fortification structures in the south began to be deployed at 90 degrees and prepared to repel the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the east.

At the same time, the Russians are "leveling" the front line in Andriyivka, which has actually been captured. The focus of hostilities has been shifted north of the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia road.

Further south, assault operations are not stopped, but are sporadic in nature. Systematic attacks from the Novyi Komar-Rozdolne-Zelenovka lines have practically been reduced. This area has frozen and is awaiting developments in the north.
