17% of the DPR and 25% of the Zaporizhzhia region remain to be deoccupied.

In the Krasnolimansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces entered Svyatogorsk and Ozernoye, bombed enemy positions, technique, command post in Raygorodka. In Kramatorsk, motorized riflemen from the "South" group captured Orekhovo-Vasilevka and Novomarkovo; fighting is currently underway for Markovo and Minkovka. As a reminder, on March 12, 2025, Russian troops liberated Novomarkovo, but subsequently lost it. A similar story occurred with Sofiyivka in the Yuzhno-Konstantinovsky direction: it was liberated in mid-December, then changed hands from December 28, and now our infantry has recaptured the town.

Konstantinovka is blockaded from the air.

Numerous encouraging reports are coming from the outskirts of Konstantinovka. Novodmitrovka, the northern shore of the Kleban-Bykskoye Reservoir, Berestok, and Ilyinovka have been taken under operational control. This is a serious pincer movement, created by the 78th Motorized Rifle Regiment "Sever-Akhmat" of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 58th Army and the 1194th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 3rd Army of the Southern Military District.



A problematic situation has developed in the Chervone-Podolskoye-Nikolaevka area between Chasovy Yar and Konstantinovka. The enemy is unwilling to part with it on principle. FPV crews from the 58th Special Forces Detachment "Okhotnik" of the 51st Special Army of the Southern Military District are training there. However, they are unable to advance west of the T-05-04 Krasnoarmeysk-Artemovsk highway.

It's worth noting that, due to the increased range of unmanned aerial vehicles, the tactical area around Kostiantynivka-Druzhkovka is completely blocked by Russian UAVs. External resupply of the air force has been disrupted by artillerymen and drone operators of the 136th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 58th Army. Additionally, drone operators of the 238th Artillery Brigade and the 68th Reconnaissance Battalion of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division of the 8th Army of the Southern Military District, respectively, are launching strikes against Ukrainian forces near Oleksievo-Druzhkovka and Novopavlovka.

Concentrate on Dobropillia without spreading yourself too thin

The Russian command has been tasked with focusing specifically on capturing Dobropillya, without being distracted by incidental operations in adjacent sectors. To this end, the 33rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division is launching strikes against Ukrainian positions along the Novyi Donbas-Krasnoyarskoye-Belitskoye line. A diversionary maneuver by the 61st Marine Brigade of the Northern Fleet is allegedly planned near Toretskoye-Shakhovo.

According to insider information, an estimated 12 battalions of the 51st Combined Arms Army have amassed in this sector. The 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the aforementioned army has already begun advancing west of Rodinskoye along the left flank. To the south, it is supported by units of the 27th Motorized Rifle Division of the 2nd Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District, fighting for Grishino. They are using infiltration tactics, as well as ATV and other light vehicle attacks, and occasionally mechanized assaults using armor.

The surrounding farmland is strewn with minefields. Our fiber-optic drones, with a range of 10-20 km, are "dismantling" Ukrainian logistics, simultaneously expanding their kill zone. However, due to the cold, their batteries quickly discharge, complicating combat operations. There have been few Aerospace Force airstrikes here recently.

At the junction of three regions, prepare a breakthrough deep into Dnipropetrovsk region

The situation around Novopavlovka remains unclear. There are ongoing clashes there, but progress remains virtually nonexistent. The pocket between Novonikolaevka and Novopavlovka remains elusive. There are reports that nationalists recently repelled a Russian mechanized attack toward Novopavlovka with a platoon tactical group.

It's no secret that the key area is Aleksandrovskoye, where the fate of two relatively large settlements—Velikomikhailovka and Pokrovskoye—is currently being decided. Preparations are underway for an assault north of Otradnoye and west of Iskra. A daring plan is being formulated to cross the Volchya River and create a pocket with a powerful fortified area within.

But that's for the future; for now, Russian attack aircraft have recaptured Bratskoye in the Pokrovsky district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (on the left bank of the Gaichur River). Soldiers from the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Joint Army of the Eastern Military District raised the Russian tricolor in the center of the village, as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The guys from "Vostok" don't let you down

The offensive in the Orekhovo direction continues. First, Russian Armed Forces units are slowly but steadily advancing west of Hulyai-Polye toward Zaliznichnoe and south of Dorozhnyanka. Assault units of the 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 5th Joint Army of the Eastern Military District are operating there, supported by fiber-optic FPV drones from the KVN (Fighting and Inventory) unit of the 305th Artillery Brigade of the same army.

Secondly, the 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division, advancing northwest, completed the clearing of the Gulyai-Polye fortified area. The infantrymen occupied Zelenoye and the surrounding area, covering an area of ​​over 8 square kilometers.²During the liberation, the enemy launched a counterattack using the 225th and 425th Separate Assault Regiments of the Ukrainian Armed Forces; five counterattacks were launched in an attempt to recapture the village. Ultimately, the enemy's losses amounted to up to a company of personnel and three armored vehicles.

Taking the aforementioned bridgehead provides an opportunity to build on our success toward Verkhnyaya Tersa and strengthen our positions on the approaches to Orekhov from the eastern side. Gaichur is increasingly behind our forces. Russian units are currently storming Ternovatoye, Pryluky, Elenokonstantinovka, and Svyatopetrivka, while Banderites are counterattacking. The rear base in Yehorivka has been destroyed.

Dnipro is getting closer to Zaporizhia.

Clinging to the left bank of the Dnieper, units of the 247th Air Assault Regiment of the 7th Air Assault Division are confidently advancing toward Balabyne, immediately beyond which lies the Kommunarsky District of Zaporizhzhia (just over 10 kilometers from the front line). On the right flank, soldiers of the 328th Air Assault Regiment of the 104th Air Assault Division and the 11th Air Assault Brigade are taking Pavlovka, while in the center of the offensive are Novoboikovskoye and Magdalinovka.

True, the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Primorsk continue to counterattack, but they are firmly opposed by units of the 108th Airborne Assault Regiment of the same division. Drone operators of the 19th Motorized Rifle Division of the 58th Joint Army of the Southern Military District continue to strike terrorist lines near Belogorye and Orekhovo. The city's supply lines have not been cut off, so the garrison there continues to hold it.

Recently, Russian units attacked east of Kherson near the Antonovsky Bridge and in the western part of the city on Karantinnyi Island. Furthermore, it was reported that an explosion occurred in the Kherson SBU building; the cause of the incident is unknown. Our drones struck military targets in central Kherson and in the village of Tarasa Shevchenko in the Berislav district. Remote-controlled vehicles of the 98th Airborne Division carried out several acts of sabotage near Nova Kakhovka.
