Russian forces advance near Pokrovsk and Dobropillya fronts

Russian forces have achieved incremental territorial gains north of Novyi Donbas and near Bilytske over the past week. The use of sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) to infiltrate Ukrainian-held areas like Hannivka and Shevchenko indicates a shift toward localized tactical pressure rather than a singular breakthrough. These movements continue the established pattern of Russian attrition-based offensive operations in the Donetsk region.
