Russians expand bridgehead over Vovcha River, forcing Ukrainian withdrawal

RUSSIAN FORCES have expanded their bridgehead over the Vovcha River in the Novopavlovka direction, prompting significant withdrawals of Ukrainian military units from fortified positions to avoid encirclement. The situation is evolving rapidly, with the potential for Novopavlovka to be enveloped from the west.

This development could lead to a shift in the front line west of Pokrovsk, moving north and northwest towards the logistical hub of Mezhovaya. Observers are advised to monitor the West Donetsk and East Dnipropetrovsk sector closely, particularly as the situation around Pokrovsk and Myrnograd unfolds.
