Quote: "The enemy's recent activity [near Pokrovsk – ed.] has been focused on the Dobropillia front, particularly along the Rodynske-Bilytske line. Russian forces are exerting heavy pressure on Rodynske, gradually expanding their control over the settlement and infiltrating deeper into the area using their usual tactics.

Similar infiltration attempts are being observed towards Bilytske, which plays an important role in the area and could serve as a logistics hub and staging point for further advances."
