Russia prepares for a massive offensive in Donetsk: new details on troop transfers

The last few weeks have been very tense on the front line between Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka in Donetsk. The situation there remains complex, and Russian troops continue to advance, inflicting damage on Ukrainian forces. The Russians have deployed FPV drones that attack Ukrainian soldiers from over 20 km away from the front line. Although Ukrainian units have partially halted the enemy's breakthrough, the Russians are combining armored vehicles with airstrikes, indicating a new tactic.

Maintaining the key line of Kostiantynivka–Dobropillia–Pokrovsk will be crucial in the battle for Donbas. Russian forces are using a 'creeping' advance tactic, trying to penetrate populated areas while avoiding direct clashes. In August, Ukrainian forces regained control over certain territories and liberated some populated areas.
