Have the Russians really broken into the Dnipropetrovsk region: the situation in the region

According to DeepState, the Russians have already broken through to the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. However, it is worth waiting for official information from the military, especially since the situation in this direction is not critical, since the Russian troops lack additional forces to expand the front.

This was reported on the air of “Pryamoye” by Vladislav Seleznyov, a military journalist and spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 2014 to 2017.

“In the context of the hostilities unfolding in the Pokrovsk-Marnograd direction, it is not so important whether Russian servicemen have entered the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region as that the enemy is trying to create a vice and operational encirclement of our group, which is defending Pokrovsk and Marnograd. This is actually a crisis situation, and this is what we should focus our attention on now, in particular the media,” Seleznyov noted.

According to him, the enemy is trying to expand “the vice and its encirclement” as much as possible, in particular, trying to enter the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

“Should we consider this case as a crisis situation? I think that at this stage it definitely is not, because the enemy currently does not have the resources to go far enough into the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region and create appropriate lines and positions there. Of the 695 thousand Russian group involved in the so-called “special military operation”, each relevant section of the front is already occupied. Putin’s army does not have additional forces and means, and it is unlikely that they will appear in the foreseeable future,” the military journalist informs.

He is convinced that Russian propaganda will actively use the topic of the entry of its advanced assault units into the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

“But, despite the fact that our Ministry of Defense has concluded a corresponding memorandum with DeepState, this respected organization, I think we still need to wait for official announcements from the speakers of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, or relevant spokespeople in the relevant areas. This will be more honest, first of all, to our soldiers, who are currently conducting fierce combat operations in this area,” Seleznev emphasized.

Recall that, according to the DeepState project, Russian forces have already actually crossed the conditional administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region and are advancing towards the villages of Maliivka and Sichneve (formerly Yanvarske). These are the first settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk region that could potentially be under direct threat from hostilities in the Novopavlivske direction.

Meanwhile, Russian occupation forces have accumulated a large number of personnel between three cities in the Donetsk region — Pokrovske, Dobropillya and Kostyantynivka. According to Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Khortytsia Special Operations Command, the enemy is trying to establish a foothold in this region. In particular, there the Russians are using their superiority in personnel, sending small groups to infiltrate Ukrainian positions.
