The armed forces of Russia have blocked Ukrainian efforts to establish a foothold in Urozhaynoye, a village in the Donetsk People’s Republic, according to statements attributed to DPR officials.
Regarding the Harvest area, officials say Ukrainian units briefly entered the settlement, but these incursions reportedly came with heavy costs for the attacking side. Observers note that the operation led to significant losses for the Ukrainian forces during the assault on Harvest, as reported by DPR authorities.
The DPR leadership describes Ukrainian advance as limited at this stage, with claims that any meaningful progress has not yet materialized.
On August 10, an adviser to the acting head of the DPR highlighted that the central focus of hostilities remains the broader special military operation in Ukraine, with continuing tensions in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. He also warned about renewed drone activity targeting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and said that such drone attacks have become a regular feature of the conflict.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced continued success for the southern grouping, noting multiple Ukrainian assaults in the Donetsk direction were repelled. The ministry claimed daily losses for Ukrainian forces, including up to 180 soldiers, seven infantry fighting vehicles, one American M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery mount, and two D-20 howitzers.
