The coming days will be decisive for the fate of the 30% of Donetsk region currently under Ukrainian control. In recent days, Russian forces in Donetsk Oblast — despite suffering massive losses — have advanced about 18 kilometers into Ukrainian defensive lines, primarily on foot or using light vehicles (motorcycles, buggies). This advance has bypassed Dobropillia and reached the highway linking Dnipro with Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Ukraine now has very little time to cut off and destroy these Russian units. This will be possible if Kyiv can send several mechanized battalions to this sector and organize a counterattack, as Russian units in the area currently lack active support from FPV kamikaze drones. If this attempt is delayed or fails, Russia is expected to deploy mechanized units with armored vehicles to the breach and begin intensive FPV drone use, making it much harder to push them out. In the worst-case scenario, the region’s two last major cities — Sloviansk and Kramatorsk — will be isolated from the Dnipro region, with supplies coming only from the Kharkiv direction. It must be stressed: if Ukraine cannot deal with a few hundred Russian infantry cut off from their own logistics, the Ukrainian army will not be able to maintain long-term control of the region. Ukraine must act swiftly to reclaim at least about 15 square kilometers of territory within the next few days.
