According to the latest reports from the analytical project DeepState, the situation on the front lines has significantly worsened due to active advances by Russian occupying forces.

Sources indicate that Russian troops have broken through in three strategic directions, raising alarm among Ukrainian and international communities.

Reports suggest that these advances occurred near the settlements of Katerynivka in Kramatorsk district, Novomykolaivka in Synelnykove district, and Novoivanivka in Pologivskyi district of Zaporizhzhia region.Official information on the scope of territorial gains and the number of occupying forces has not yet been released.

Ukrainian military officials and analysts note that the situation remains tense, as precise data on enemy movements are still lacking.

Meanwhile, media reports indicate that Ukraine has lost approximately 8.4 square kilometers of territory recently.Recall that on September 19, DeepState published new maps illustrating that the largest Russian military advances are occurring in the Lyman area, particularly near the settlements of Shandrigolovo and Zelenaya Dolina.

This indicates increased enemy activity in this strategically vital region, which could significantly influence the overall course of hostilities in eastern Ukraine.
