Situation on the Dobropillya direction - information from the ground: The situation continues to deteriorate for Ukrainian forces in the Dobropillya direction, as Russian forces make new advances in and around the city. The main assault vectors have shifted to the east, with Russian forces using two main infiltration routes to reach Dobropillya from the east. The first runs along the railway line from Dorozhnje and into the southeastern industrial zone of Dobropillya, where accumulations of Russian infantry have been recorded. They are attempting to advance further into the neighbouring low-rise residential areas, where fighting is ongoing with Ukrainian forces attempting to clear them out. The second infiltration route from the east originates in the Novyi Donbas - Nove Shakhove area and moves along both banks of the Byk River, through the large grey-zone leading into Hannivka. Some very small groups of Russian infiltrators have managed to reach as far as the northern and northwestern streets of Dobropillya from this direction, but they likely number no more than 10 in total. The main fighting is still ongoing for the Hannivka-Stepy area, east of the city. Russian attacks from the south have decreased in intensity for now, although heavy fighting is still ongoing for the Vodyanske agglomeration, where Ukrainian forces retain a presence in several different areas. Russian forces also do not have full control over the village of Dobropillya yet. Russian infiltration routes run through the eastern part of the Vodyanske agglomeration, north towards Dobropillya, where a moderate Russian presence is recorded south of the railway line. Any presence beyond that is extremely minimal and insignificant, and left over from the original limited infiltrations during the flag planting operations last month. Another infiltration route being used is from the southwest, moving north through the fields towards the village of Svyatohorivka. Some small scattered groups have managed to enter Svyatohorivka and the northwestern parts of Dobropillya. As of a few days ago, an estimated 15-20 Russian soldiers from the 114th and 132nd Motor Rifle Brigades are present within this area (around half from each brigade). Some of them entered the village from the east. Continued Russian control over the village of Matysheve and surrounding areas has also been confirmed, with Ukrainian artillery shelling two areas containing Russian positions here a little over a week ago. It's rumoured that the Russian 234th VDV Regiment is planning to conduct an offensive operation northward from the Matyasheve-Dobropillya-Nadiia area in order to establish a foothold in the villages of Raksha and Virivka, west of Dobropillya. A few days ago, I reported that a Russian DRG was detected operating between these two settlements, but they have not been known to actually enter them yet. Some other things to note are that there are still a few Ukrainian positions remaining in the western part of Bilytske, but they are probably not of military significance, which is why I have the city marked as Russian-controlled on my map. Russian forces are also conducting reconnaissance-infiltration probes on the neighbouring Bilytska Mine using 1-2 soldiers at a time, likely in preparation for an eventual storming operation. The capture of the mine complex would allow them to accumulate large numbers of infantry and even drone operators, which would result in a subsequent significant deterioration of the situation for Ukraine. Alongside drones, Ukrainian infantry are playing a major role in the defence of Dobropillya - more-so than in other parts of the frontline it seems. According to my information, the ratio of Russian soldiers killed by Ukrainian infantry compared to drones is 1:3. #Ukrainemap
