Ukrainian units that had been holding positions in the village of Udachnoye, near Krasnoarmeisk (Ukrainian name — Pokrovsk), were unable to sustain resistance. After a brief clash, they retreated northward.

Seizing the moment, Russian troops advanced toward the settlement of Molodetskoye, effectively moving closer to the administrative border with Dnepropetrovsk Region.

According to available reports, Russian forces are gradually dismantling Ukrainian defensive lines within the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Although the pace of advance is measured and not marked by large-scale breakthroughs, this steady pressure is tightening the space for maneuver available to Ukrainian troops. Step by step, the frontline is edging toward the boundary of the Dnepropetrovsk Region.
