Operational crisis. What are the consequences of a Russian breakthrough in the Pokrovske direction?

The situation in the Dobropillia and Pokrovsk sectors has escalated. Fighting in this region is the most intense compared to other areas of the contact line, says LIGA.net lieutenant Colonel Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Dnipro Regional Military Unit.

August 11, OSINT project Deepstate said about the occupiers' advance in the northeast of Dobropillia, Donetsk region. The Dnipro group denies this: in this and Pokrovske directions, Russians are indeed infiltrating in small groups through the first line of defense, but there is no question of controlling the territory.

"To stop the advance, we need a mechanized brigade with heavy weapons capable of delivering a single powerful firepower and driving over the top with tracks," says LIGA.net Viktor Kevliuk, expert at the Center for Defense Strategies, said: "It's just a few days. But so far, the situation is not developing in our favor."
