Ukrainian forces retake Novoekonomichne and advance on the Dobropillya axis

1 minute to read

Ukrainian troops are pressing counteroffensive operations on the Dobropillya axis, with a Ukrainian tank firing on Russian positions in the area. According to military-focused Telegram channels, Ukrainian forces have fully expelled Russian troops from the settlement of Novoekonomichne. The advance is ongoing: Ukrainian units are now fighting in the village of Razine and have pushed into Novotoretske, expanding the “gray zone.” The maneuver aims to slice into the Russian flank near Pokrovsk.

Even pro-Russian military bloggers acknowledge changes on the front, noting a “correction on the sector in favor of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” According to Ukraine’s General Staff, on the Dobropillya axis - where Russia concentrated an assault grouping - Russian forces have captured only 13.5 square kilometers, while Ukrainian troops regained 25.5 square kilometers.

On the Pokrovsk axis, the picture is similar: Russian forces took 5 square kilometers, while Ukraine liberated 26 square kilometers.

Over the past day, Russian forces lost 910 personnel, Ukraine’s military said. Ukrainian defense forces also destroyed five tanks, four armored fighting vehicles, and 29 artillery systems.
