Russian troops push deeper into eastern Ukraine

Moscow: Russian forces have made a sudden advance near Dobropillia in eastern Ukraine, breaking through Ukrainian defenses.

Experts suggest this move may be an attempt to increase pressure on Kyiv ahead of a possible meeting between the US and Russian presidents.

According to Ukraine’s credible “Deep State” war map, Russian troops have advanced at least 10 kilometers on two fronts in the Donetsk region over the past few days. Such rapid progress has rarely been seen in the past year.

Deep State reports that Russian soldiers exploited gaps in the Ukrainian defensive lines near three villages and are now attempting to fortify their positions deeper inside Ukrainian territory.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet on Friday in Alaska, where it is expected they will discuss a possible agreement to end the Ukraine war. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Putin wants Ukraine to cede the remaining parts of the Donetsk region to Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Russian forces have advanced up to 10 kilometers in several areas. However, he stated, "We have already destroyed or captured many of them, and we will eliminate the rest soon."
