DeepState: Occupation of Hryshyne is only matter of time, activity near Kostiantynivka increasing
Russian occupation forces in Donetsk region continue to press on the village of Hryshyne in Pokrovsk district, and its occupation is only a matter of time. At present, the enemy is focused on taking control of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, while activity near Kostiantynivka is also increasing, according to the DeepState OSINT project.
"The enemy continues to exert active pressure on Hryshyne, gradually pulling in more infantry. The settlement is literally swarming with occupiers, although so far they are being destroyed on the northern outskirts. At present, Defense Forces troops are carrying out strike-and-search operations in houses where the enemy is constantly hiding, trying to entrench and build up forces. Infiltration deeper into the area is also already being recorded near the settlements of Vasylivka and Novooleksandrivka, but these cases remain isolated and without significant success for the enemy," the OSINT analysts said on Telegram on Monday.
They said that, given the current dynamics of enemy pressure, the occupation of Hryshyne is only a matter of time, since the Russians "are committing a large amount of manpower there, which is being accumulated in Pokrovsk." The report also says the enemy "sees its plans for advancing along Hryshyne-Myrne-Hulieve-Shylivka line and so on, along the highway toward Pavlohrad, as open terrain that is not advantageous for any movement. The most important task for them has already been accomplished – they have cut it off by taking it under fire control."
According to the project, active fighting is currently underway for Rodynske, "which is also gradually being swallowed up by the enemy, but in an unconventional way." It says Russian forces are leveling the town, including by dropping guided aerial bombs. At the same time, cases are often recorded in which Russian infantry "throw explosive charges into houses, after which the building collapses and they seep further deeper into the area. They are not focused on establishing positions in the town, but simply destroying it while retaining the ability to move through the settlement. The activity itself is focused on infiltrating deeper beyond Rodynske, in order to accumulate there and disrupt the work of drone pilots, whom they are hunting there. The town is essentially a thoroughfare."
"At present, the enemy is focused on taking control of Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration, having already taken the cities themselves under control. This will ensure freer buildup of resources in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, without interference from Defense Forces drone pilots, and will create operational space for further advance. At present, enemy tube artillery is being recorded on the southern outskirts of both Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad," the analysts said.
It also noted that activity near Kostiantynivka is increasing alongside this section of the front and that, in terms of the number of assault actions, it has already moved into second place.
