Main points
- In the Dobropil direction, the Ukrainian military has stabilized the front line, but is facing enemy infiltration due to poor weather conditions.
- The Russians use small infantry groups to penetrate the rear, and the Ukrainian military uses ground robotic complexes to counter.
The Russians are constantly storming Ukrainian positions in the Donetsk direction. The occupiers have made many attempts to break through to the Dobropil direction, but our military, fortunately, manages to restrain the enemy offensive.
An officer of the 12th Azov Brigade of the National Guard with the call sign “Bud” told Channel 24 that his unit near Dobropillya carried out a search and rescue operation in order to stabilize the front line. The main task was to clear as much enemy units as possible that were there.
What is the current situation in the Dobropil direction?
The officer noted that after the stabilization of the front line, the situation in the Dobropil direction remains quite stable. However, the biggest problem now is enemy infiltration due to bad weather conditions.
We are not able to conduct reconnaissance of sufficient quality. They (the Russians – Channel 24) are trying to place their small infantry groups as far behind us as possible,
– he said.
In addition, the enemy uses mechanized assaults, but this happens infrequently – mainly when the weather worsens.
We are talking about fog and significant precipitation – something that prevents drones from conducting reconnaissance.

Important! The collection of 2 ground robotic complexes and 2 electronic motorcycles is underway to ensure the logistics of the unmanned systems battalion of the 12th Special Forces Brigade “Azov”. We encourage you to join us via the link.
The military call sign “Bud” noted that when it is difficult for drones to conduct development, the Defense Forces monitor the enemy's actions thanks to observation posts set up by the Ukrainian infantry.
Unfortunately, this is not as effective as we would like. However, the Ukrainian military is looking for other methods, including using ground-based robotic complexes , to block possible infiltration routes for the occupiers.
