Russian troops have captured two more settlements in the Donetsk region. Analysts from DeepState report on the advance of the occupiers in the areas of Selydove and Kurakhove.

According to their data, Russian forces have also expanded their control over the territory of Selydove, taking control of the northwestern part of the city.

Based on the DeepState map, the northern areas of the multi-story buildings remain in the gray zone. Furthermore, analysts note the capture of the settlements of Bohoyavlenka and Novoukrainka, which are located 13 and 18 kilometers south of Kurakhove.

There are also reports of advances north of Shakhtarsk and the occupation of part of the village of Yasnaya Polyana. There is currently no official confirmation of this information, and the Ukrainian Defense Forces are refraining from commenting on the analysts' data.

Let us remind you that the Russians have increased the pace of their offensive: ISW explained how dangerous this is. The Russian military is demonstrating progress in eastern Ukraine; however, comparing these "successes" to Russia's invasion at the beginning of the war can be misleading regarding the latest achievements.
