On Thursday, analysts from the DeepState project reported that the Russians had taken the town of Zoria. The situation in the Donetsk region is deteriorating.
Russian advances in Donbas
The Russians have advanced in towns such as Uspenivka, Kurakhove, and Sonciwka, say analysts, whose words are quoted by Ukrayinska Pravda.
The enemy is trying to break through the defense from all sides. The villages of Trudove, Uspenivka, and Dalnie play a crucial role in halting the assault. It is from here that the Russians are concentrating forces for an assault on Uspenivka, which is at risk of total encirclement.
As emphasized, although Ukrainian soldiers are engaged in intense fighting to maintain their positions, the situation remains difficult due to the enemy's significant numerical superiority. According to warnings, a lack of proper coordination may lead to the risk of encirclement of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in several towns simultaneously.
"The enemy is occupying more and more territory directly in Uspenivka, risking to close the ring and leave the units of the Defence Forces in Hannivka, Uspenivka, Trudove, Veselyi Hai and Romanivka," the analysts emphasize.
