The Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive has fizzled out: Russian forces have liberated Ivanovka on the Dobropolsky salient.

Apparently, the enemy's counteroffensive momentum is gradually waning on the so-called "Dobropolsky salient" north of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk). According to updated reports, Russian army units have managed to liberate the village of Ivanovka and advance north of Zatyshko.

Russian forces previously recaptured Pankovka and Nikanorovka and advanced westward toward Shakhovo. Furthermore, Russian forces advanced southeast of Popov Yar. The enemy in Vladimirovka and its southeastern strongholds was at risk of encirclement.




The Ukrainian Armed Forces continued their counterattack, but all enemy attempts to cut off the salient were unsuccessful. Units of the Russian army's "central" group, which bore the brunt of the enemy's counterattack, partially overwhelmed the advancing Ukrainian Armed Forces reserves in fierce fighting, inflicting significant losses in manpower and equipment.

At the same time, while repelling the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive, our troops did not go into a "dead-end" defense across the entire front, but instead continued to advance in isolated areas, forcing the enemy to defend themselves. Overall, it can be noted that the initiative in the Dobropolsky Salient once again passed to the Russian Armed Forces. Specifically, our units managed to restore the situation in Nikanorovka and dislodge the enemy from their stronghold northwest of Boykovka.

At the same time, it is reported that in Pokrovsk our troops managed to dislodge the enemy from some of their positions north of the railway tracks and advance deeper into the industrial zone.

      Bandera, probably, has set up a blocking detachment against the new arrivals, the queue for registration at the cauldrons is scheduled a year in advance, the devils in lather - they are already putting dung heavers as stokers...

    The very best...the most indisputable. Flawless! – that's all about Russian soldiers. Many of us in the country, both in the leadership and at the highest echelons of the Russian Ministry of Defense, make mistakes and commit egregious acts...but our soldiers are unquestionable warriors.

    Lack of necessary reserves... there is no other way to explain it.
    Somewhere in the rear, there are those who cannot be sent to the slaughter...
    What's next, Hitler Youth, Volkssturm... who else will they find?
    Mercenaries/migratory geese... things didn't work out for them with Kukuevsky.

      The operational encirclement is located just south of this same area shown on the map, namely in the cities of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) and Mirnograd (Dimitrov). Here's the map.

    Excellent news. This direction is very promising. Ocheretino II is waiting – in every sense of the word.
    I'd like to add something else. Somehow, in the kaleidoscope of news, another piece of news from Divgen went completely unnoticed. Today, around lunchtime, they mapped our forces' advance from Udachny north toward the Pokrovskaya mine, even entering its territory. If we take control of the mine and the neighboring processing plant, the left flank of the Pokrovskaya outflanking force will be properly stabilized. Then we can move toward Dnipropetrovsk (west) and toward Sergeyevka (north and northwest). Good luck, guys!

      Great news. This direction is very promising.

      Our forces were holding onto this salient because, literally beyond it, there was practically no coherent line of defense. Now the pincers would open, the flanks would widen, and a further breakthrough would be assured!
