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.
According to the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) of August 26, the military command of Russia probably refused to use a breakthrough in the direction of Dobropillya in Donetsk region after the Russian infiltration tactics, it seems, did not help to create a stable position within this breakthrough.
In particular, analysts have drew attention to reducing the number of reports of Russian military bloggers in the last days about a breakthrough near Dobropillya. Instead, they focused on the north, east and southwest of Pokrovsk.
On August 26, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky declared “positive trends” in the border areas of Sumy and Kharkiv region.
