Dobropillia general direction.
The situation is characterized by a lack of Russian consolidation but a large amount of deep Russian infiltrations that continue to have a very small success rate, but that still creates problems.
Russian consolidation remains very confined.
The responsible units here, while standing their ground, face one of the highest densities of Russian fire on the frontlines.
Specifically, Russian FPVs (fiber optic FPVs as well) and glide bombs are very prevalent.
Glide bombs are actively dropped on even suspected Ukrainian positions or deployment points, as well as on treelines to simply erase it as possible cover (which is, though, a double-edged knife).
Logistics for the Ukrainians are also bad.
Russian manpower is also sufficient in this area to replace their losses without setbacks, despite catastrophic casualties during infiltrations.
In general, I'd define the situation here as precarious. The units are holding the line, but with manpower problems in some sectors, logistics problems in general (exacerbated by the generally lower priority the National Guard has), and under a very heavy and constant Russian barrage.
In my opinion, this area remains underreported, and more attention should be paid to it, considering it is, or is going to be, Russia's main flank push towards Ukrainian-controlled Donbas.
