INTEL DROP: Russia Gains Initiative In Ukraine

By The Intel Drop

More than 50% of the territory of the DPR has been liberated from the Ukrainian military, the acting head of the DPR said. The Russian military continues to implement the task of “liberating the entire territory of the DPR within the constitutional borders.”

The Russian military has gained the initiative on the Luhansk front lines, where it seeks to push the Ukrainian army on the right bank of the Zherebets River.

With the support of artillery, Russian troops attacked Stelmakhovka. Russian assault operations began in the area of Makeyevka. The battle for the initiative in the areas of Ploshcanka and Krasnopopovka continues. Russian strikes on the military positions and the rear of Ukrainian units continue.

In their turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to advance towards Lisichansk from their military positions near Belogorovka.

To the east of Seversk, Russian troops continue their offensive in the area of Verkhnekamenskoe. Fighting continues for control of Spornoe.

The situation remains tense in the Soledar area, where fierce fighting continues in the city limits. At the same time, the Wagner fighters are storming the village of Belogorovka, located north of Soledar. Yakovlevka remains under the control of Russian forces.

The offensive mounted by Russian forces in Bakhmut is gaining momentum. Attempts by Ukrainian forces to counterattack on the southern outskirts in Opytne do not bring significant success. Bearing heavy losses, they cannot dislodge Russian forces from the village.
