The situation surrounding the village of Dachne in the Dnipropetrovsk region remains tense and complex for analysis.

Although official sources and Ukrainian military officials affirm that the settlement has not fallen entirely under Russian control, some media reports and analytical platforms have claimed a so-called occupation of Dachne.

However, a detailed examination and the maps disseminated by the resource DeepState indicate that the situation is more intricate and ambiguous.

Russian presence persists only on the eastern outskirts of the village, where small enemy combat groups are located, but they have not established a firm foothold within the settlement itself.

The enemy is actively attempting to advance toward nearby forests and homesteads, especially north of the village, trying to secure positions and maintain pressure on Ukrainian defenses.

Ukrainian troops and special forces ensure control over key points and actively target enemy groups, aiming to prevent the complete occupation of Dachne.

Analysis of the DeepState map shows that Russian forces are stationed on the opposite bank of the Vovcha River from Dachne, conducting targeted operations in the eastern part of the village, particularly near Novoukrainka.

Overall, the situation remains tense and unpredictable: the Russians are trying to organize activities in surrounding plantations and forest belts but without significant progress.

Ukrainian defense forces are actively countering these attempts through tactical advances and defensive operations, making it difficult for the enemy to consolidate gains.

It is important to note that historically, this part of the Dnipropetrovsk region has been among the most unstable and conflicting areas, and any Russian advances in this direction hold strategic significance within the broader operational context.

Additionally, on August 7, Russian troops advanced in three Ukrainian regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, further heightening tensions and emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring on the front line.
