The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are pressed in the southwest and near Konstantinovka: the dynamics of battles in Donetsk region (map)

In particular, the forces of the Russians somewhat aligned the line of combat collision near the village of Popi Yar, and also carried out offensive actions on another section of the front, directing a blow along the H20 route towards Yablunovka and Alexander-Kalinov. Thus, in the period from July 6 to 13, the whole multi -kilometer front along the Romanivka - Yablunivka - Popi Yar - Novotoretsky shifted slightly towards Konstantinovka.

And after the promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Novotoretsk, about 10 km north of Mirnograd, the so -called "gray zone" expanded. The situation has changed in the Novopavlovsk direction, where, according to analysts, the enemy attempts to wedged in the defense of Ukrainian defenders in the areas near Poddubny and Mirny. Over the past 24 hours, the Russians continued the offensive actions along the H15 route, which leads to the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Probably, Russian troops seek to expand the bridgehead along the Poddubne - Mirne - Mosquito, in order to create an operational environment in the Voskresenko village, located near the administrative border of Donetsk region. In general, given the dynamics of the promotion of the army of the Russian Federation in the Donbass recently, in this area of the front we can talk about the significant promotion of the enemy since the beginning of July.

In almost two weeks, the Russians managed to occupy more than 90 square meters. km of the territory and direct the strike in three directions of LBZ. According to the Armed Forces General Staff for the past 24 hours, the fighters of the Defense Forces have prevented 27 attempts to break through defensive borders in the areas of settlements of Zaporozhye, Novokhatsk, Mirne, Shevchenko, Zelena field, Rivnopil and a free field.

Commenting on the situation in the southwest of Donetsk region, Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko noted that tense battles continue there, despite the statements of Russian propaganda about crossing the borders of Dnipropetrovsk region. "Here, if in the near future it is not possible to support Ukrainian units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the situation can worsen," the general added. A similar situation has occurred in the Kramatorsk direction, south of Konstantinovka.
