Russian military leaders reveal strategies to thwart Russian advances in the Dobropolsk and Pokrovsky sectors
The Dobropillia-Kramatorsk highway remains a hotspot of conflict, with Russian forces intensifying their advance towards Dobropillya, according to the Analytical Center DeepState. However, Ukrainian forces have managed to stabilize the defensive situation on both the Dobropillia and Pokrovske fronts.
In recent developments, Ukrainian forces, including the elite Azov Corps and 1st Corps of the National Guard, have been actively countering Russian attempts at infiltration and ground offensives. Notably, near Dobropillia, the situation is described as stabilizing. Ukrainian forces have strengthened defenses with additional troops and resources, degrading Russian tactical penetrations and inflicting heavy casualties. In two days, 151 Russian soldiers were eliminated, and over 70 were wounded [1][5].
Around Pokrovske and Pokrovsk, Ukrainian units claim to have cleared Pokrovsk of Russian saboteurs by mid-August 2025. Russian saboteur groups infiltrated slowly, suffering heavy losses to drone strikes and Ukrainian counterattacks [2][5].
Despite Russian forces amassing large formations, Ukrainian resistance and countermeasures have halted deeper breakthroughs. Ukrainian mechanized brigades have taken heavy equipment losses but remain operational [2][5].
However, the Donetsk region continues to face heavy shelling from Russian forces, causing civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. Ukrainian military sources maintain control of key front-line areas [3].
The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue conducting active patrols, strike missions, and mop-up operations to prevent renewed Russian infiltration or counteroffensive attempts on these axes [1][5]. Major Andrei Kovalov, spokesperson of the General Staff, emphasized the need for society's support to repel new enemy advances [6].
The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov" has occupied a defense sector on the Pokrovsk direction, near Dobropillya and the Dobropillya-Kramatorsk road [4]. Measures have been planned to block enemy groups in a specific area [6].
Saboteurs have secretly infiltrated into several settlements, including Veseloe, Volnoe, Rubizhne, and Kucheriv Yar. The Defense Forces are taking all necessary measures to detect and destroy enemy groups. Several small enemy groups have attempted to advance towards the settlement of Zolote Kolodets, with Russian invaders attempting to infiltrate through Ukrainian defensive lines using small groups of saboteurs and infantry [6].
By the decision of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, additional forces and resources have been allocated to strengthen the defense's resilience. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is taking measures to halt the enemy's advance on the Dobropillia and Pokrovske directions. The situation remains complex and dynamic.
