Russian troops push deeper into Donetsk front
Russian troops continue to make gains near the Zherebets River in Donetsk Oblast, focusing their attacks on the village of Yampolivka after capturing the nearby settlement of Terny, OSINT analysts from the DeepState project reported on Monday, April 14.
"Even during the battles for Terny, the enemy was probing for opportunities to enter Yampolivka and found a path northeast of the village, where they pushed in infantry,” DeepState wrote in its update. “As of now, part of the settlement is under enemy control and in the gray zone."
Ukrainian forces are still striking at Russian units attempting to entrench themselves and fully occupy the village, the analysts added.
“This is a tough situation for the soldiers of the 63rd Brigade,” DeepState noted. “Their flank is now exposed, even though the brigade has successfully defended this area for years.”
Earlier on April 10, DeepState confirmed the Russian capture of Oleksandropil in Donetsk Oblast. A day later, they highlighted worsening conditions near Panteleimonivka.
“In recent days, the enemy advanced steadily, first occupying Panteleimonivka and then Oleksandropil. This pressure built up gradually, and unfortunately, they managed to exploit weak points in our defense,” the DeepState team reported.
In the early hours of April 14, DeepState updated its battlefield map, noting additional Russian advances in Yampolivka, Valentynivka, Preobrazhenka, and Udachne.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
