Russian troops have entrenched themselves north of Novo-Oleksandrivka and are launching relentless infantry-led assaults near Shevchenko, Svitlyi, Novyi Shakhov, and Matyashove, straining Ukrainian defenses on the Dobropillia front.
The situation on the Dobropillia axis in Donbas remains extremely tense, according to a frontline source based in the Donbas region. Russian forces have managed to dig in and consolidate their positions on the northern side of Novo-Oleksandrivka, establishing a bridgehead that could serve as a springboard for further offensive operations.
At the same time, Moscow’s command is sustaining a heavy tempo of infantry-led assaults along Ukrainian defensive lines. Attacks are concentrated near the villages of Shevchenko, Svitlyi, and Novyi Shakhov, where Russian units are repeatedly thrown against Ukrainian positions in what the source describes as unrelenting “meat assaults.”
Russian troops are also pressing toward Matyashove, probing for weak spots in Ukrainian defenses and trying to expand the flanks of their advance. The post provides no casualty figures or specific dates, but it describes the pressure on Ukrainian defenders as severe and the overall fighting as exhausting.
The account concludes with a direct appeal from the frontline source: “It is hard; support our guys.”
