Battle in the Dobropilsk direction: the Armed Forces reflect the storms and counterattack their own fortifications (maps)

The French Osinter Clément Molin reported that the arrival of Ukrainian reinforcements, in particular from the 1st Corps of the National Guard "Azov", helped to hold back the breakthrough of the Russians and start localized counterattacks on their own fortifications. The enemy's breakthrough was significant than expected, and about 200 invaders were killed or wounded.

The main task of the Ukrainian troops is now the restoration of the integrity of the Donbass defensive line, in particular the return of the city of Rubizhny and rejecting the enemy at a safe distance. The operation is complicated by a large number of Russian forces in the area and the inability to widely use armored vehicles through its own fortifications.

Meanwhile, engineers continue the construction of defense borders a few kilometers from the breakthrough, and Russian troops are conducting massive shelling and air strikes around the city of Dobropillya and the village of Lucky. According to him, the Ukrainian army is far from collapse, and the rapid promotion of Russians in depth is impossible.

At the same time, Russian tactics involve the sending of hundreds of soldiers to the rear for a long time, the organization of ambushes and fixing in captured positions, as it happened in Dobropil. Osinter also referred to Torkill blogger, which describes the development of events in the region. According to him, Ukrainian troops are trying to repel the village of the Golden Well, but the attack from the forest near the city of Rubizhny, according to the locals, was unsuccessful.

At the same time, the 2nd Mechanized Battalion of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade comes on the eastern flank and broke through Russian positions near the Donbass Glina clay mine. The fighting also continues in the area of Vesco Rudnik north of Hrizhky, where, according to some reports, the Russian DRG cut the road Andreevka - Druzhkivka. From August 11, part of the territory north of the Hrizhky is under full control of the Russians, and they have become entrenched there.

The front line on most areas stabilized, and the period of variable control zones ended. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the situation in the Pokrovsky direction, which includes Dobropilsky district, remains tense. As of 16:00 on August 14, Russian troops made 37 attacks in the areas of settlements of Popi Yar, Golden Well, Nikanorivka, Lighthouse, Vladimir, Shakhove, Rubizhne, Free, New Economic, Myrolyubivka, Mykolaivka, Rodinskoye, Red Lyman, Rokima, Lysovka.

Ukrainian defenders repelled 34 attacks and fighting continue. The General Staff reports that Ukrainian troops are taking all necessary measures to identify and destroy Russian groups that have penetrated into the rear districts the day before. Last day, fighters of one of the mechanized crews were captured by five invaders.

We will remind that according to the fighter of the forces of defense with the call sign "Muzy", in the Pokrovsky-Dobropil direction in Donetsk region Russian troops became entrenched in the eastern part of Rodinsky, at the same time Ukrainian defenders managed to stabilize the situation around the "Cleish", which the Russians were formed by a breakthrough in the area of Dobropil.
