On August 20, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky stated that Russian troops increase pressure in the north of Donetsk region – in the Lyman direction, but, according to him, Pokrovsky, Dobropilsky and Novopavlovsky remain the hottest directions.
The promotion of Russian troops for almost a tens of kilometers in the direction of Dobropillya on August 11 marked on his map the analytical project of Deepstate. The spokesman of the operative-strategic group of the Dnipro troops, Lieutenant Colonel Victor Tregubov the next day stated that in Dobropil and Pokrovsky directions Russian troops use the tactics of “impregnation”, which creates a false impression of advancement. But, he said, “impregnation” does not mean that the enemy has taken this territory under control.
Subsequently, the Armed Forces reported the stabilization of the situation in the Dobropilsk direction.
