Russian advance in Donetsk region has halted, but remains threatening. The Ukrainian army managed to deploy reserves to stop Moscow's soldiers north of Pokrovsk, but it has struggled to find a response to Russia's new infiltration tactics.
A Russian military analyst embedded with Russian forces in this sector reported that Russians are suffering from glaring issues with defensive cohesion. Russian forces are unable to effectively coordinate their fire onto Ukrainian assaults, requested reinforcements never arrive, and counterattacks to counter Ukrainian advances often come days too late.
Ukrainian commanders are exploiting these issues with precision continuously forcing Russians into a defensive posture they cannot maintain. Geolocated footage shows Ukrainian special forces approach a Russian position in the forest at close range, offering seven enemy soldiers the opportunity to surrender. They refused and were eliminated in the ensuing firefight, and while clearing the area, inaccurate Russian mortar fire only came down after the Russian soldiers were already eliminated, wounding one soldier who was quickly evacuated and survived his wounds. Enemy documents, weapons, and other equipment were seized, further allowing Ukrainians to take advantage of the collapse of Russian military organization. Nowhere was this more evident than at Sadky, where Ukrainian forces managed to encircle elements of the 51st VDV Brigade, a supposedly elite airborne formation that should not be prone to such breakdowns. Sadky itself remains under Ukrainian control, reports indicate enemy soldiers trapped eliminated in the nearby forest spanning 15 sq km.
These events are not an isolated failure, but a symptom of a deeper, structural problem within the Russian military in the area. Russia’s operational mindset, long focused on continuous offensives, appears to have eroded its ability to mount an effective defense. In pursuit of gains during the summer offensive, Russian commanders committed vast reserves of armor and manpower, leaving little left to plug gaps when momentum stalled. The fighting in Kursk was particularly costly: armored vehicles were destroyed in huge numbers, forcing Russia to rely on infantry, motorcycles, and small assault teams. Now in Sumy, most Russian soldiers move on foot, taking them days to reach the frontline, and they can’t respond effectively when Ukrainians attack. Additionally, North Korean troops were annihilated by Ukrainian cluster munitions 200 soldiers at a time, and the Russian infantry that remains is exhausted, making the Russian Sumy front thinly manned and dangerously vulnerable.
Faced with this unfolding crisis, Russian command has attempted to reinforce the sector w/battalion from 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, tasked w/stabilizing Kindrativka. Yet solution only compound the problem, Russian brigade suffered devastating losses during Kursk battles believed to be operating at only 35 to 45% of its nominal combat strength. Rather deploying intact battalion, the reality is a composite force cobbled together from remnants of different units, a half hearted measure further undermines cohesion interoperability, reinforcements soon slow, as Ukrainian advances temporarily, they lack the depth and organization to mount a meaningful defense. Overall, in the Sumy region, the narrative has shifted entirely, and what began as a Ukrainian defensive effort has evolved into offensive momentum that is dismantling Russian positions piece by piece. For Russia, the situation is a bitter reversal, as it was just weeks ago that President Vladimir Putin himself issued aggressive statements about pushing into Sumy and even threatening the regional capital. Without fresh reserves or a radical change in operational approach, Russia is poised to lose even more ground and with it, any lingering credibility in its ability to threaten the city of Sumy again. Ukrainian defensive plans not only absorbed Russian pressure but now turnedtide, enabling methodical counterattacks pushing Russian forces back across the sector.

This due to many OIL completes shut-down due to be been hit by Ukraine successfully strike by then... continue use of Ukraine drones new forces.
Russia oil supplies are now about down by around plus 30% and Ukraine drones will continue increasing more repeating again and again. Also especially around east front war.

One of Russia’s leading drone manufacturers is facing serious financial difficulties that have brought it to the brink of bankruptcy, the CNews news website has reported. Kronstadt, known for its Orion and Inokhodets drones used for both military and civilian purposes, has been hit with 40 lawsuits totaling 626.3 million rubles ($7.8 million, according to spot foreign exchange market data published by Reuters) over the past three months. The largest claims came from Innovative Technologies and Materials (151.1 million rubles) and the Research Institute of Modern Telecommunications Technologies (220.6 million rubles). Kronstadt itself faced an attempted bankruptcy filing by Turbodjet Micro in August 2023. The company’s most recent publicly available financial figures, from 2020, showed a revenue of 2 billion rubles ($24.9 million) and a net loss of 3.6 billion rubles ($44.8 million). “The situation could lead to bankruptcy,” Nikolai Ryashin, CEO of drone service company RusDronPort, told CNews. “Subcontractors who provided services or delivered products without receiving payment are now filing lawsuits en masse to enter the creditors’ registry.”
Sources in the Russian drone market told CNews that Kronstadt has struggled financially for the past two years. A key factor was the 2022 exit of AFK Sistema, the company’s former strategic investor and primary source of funding. “Losing that financial backing sharply reduced access to capital and increased debt pressure,” one source told CNews. “Without that ‘wallet,’ the company was left to handle cash shortfalls on its own.”

Hope this photo can help those Ukraine folks to understand why🤐
North Korean go fight a war for Putin & got North Korea soldiers killed, kill by
Russian commanders. In ten to hundred & more killing is coming with another
30,000 North Korea soldiers coming to help Putin's soldiers less to been kill. I think Russia is still🤐 lossing about 1,100,000 men and more still counting...
