DeepState exposes false reports from Vuhledar tactical group in Pokrovsk sector

The analysts highlighted the enemy advances near the settlements of Shevchenko, Burlatske, and Vilne Pole. The status of Oleksiivka and Bahatyr is being clarified.

DeepState noted that the defense lines in the Vuhledar Tactical Group’s area continue to "rapidly collapse," with the enemy launching constant assaults using large numbers of infantry from Oleksiivka to Zelenyi Hai. Russian troops are also actively pushing from the village of Zaporizke (Donetsk Oblast) toward Zirka, around Komar, and along the Shevchenko–Vilne Pole–Novosilka line.

“What’s especially troubling is that units in the Vuhledar Tactical Group’s area have stood out for repeatedly submitting false reports — claiming to ‘hold’ certain settlements or individual positions," DeepState wrote.

"These reports don’t improve the actual situation.”

On June 21, Lieutenant General Serhii Naiev announced the end of his service as Vuhledar Tactical Group Commander, following a directive from the General Staff. He acknowledged that the group had allowed a Russian breakthrough into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

On June 25, Ukraine’s Khortytsya operational command confirmed that Russia is intensifying its offensive on the Pokrovsk axis. Fierce battles are ongoing as Ukrainian Defense Forces attempt to hold back the enemy.

Earlier, DeepState reported the occupation of the villages of Novomykhailivka, then Andriivka and Kostyantynopil in Donetsk Oblast.
