Over the past 24 hours, the Russian army has continued to change the front line in the Kramatorsk and Novopavlovsk directions, actively advancing near a number of settlements in Donbas.
According to DeepState, Russian forces have tightened control south of Kostyantynivka, expanding their zone of influence in the Kramatorsk direction. In particular, they have leveled the line of contact near the village of Popiv Yar and conducted offensive operations along the H20 highway in the direction of Yablonivka and Oleksandro-Kalynovoye.
Between July 6 and 13, the front line along the Romanivka-Yablonivka-Popiv Yar-Novotroitske line moved towards Kostyantynivka, indicating significant Russian territorial advances. The advance near Novotroitske, located approximately 10 km north of Myrnograd, has expanded the so-called “gray zone” — the area over which control is contested.
In the Novopavlivske direction, the enemy is trying to break through Ukrainian defenses in the areas of Piddubne and Mirne. Russian troops have intensified their offensive along the H15 highway leading to Dnipropetrovsk region, probably seeking to expand their bridgehead along the Piddubne-Mirnye-Komar line. This may be part of an attempt to create an operational encirclement near the village of Voskresenka on the administrative border of Donetsk region.
According to analysts, since the beginning of July, Russian troops have captured more than 90 square kilometers of territory in Donbas, striking in three directions along the front line.
