Frontline Developments in Donetsk and Surrounding Fronts

During the ongoing shelling around Gorlovka, reports confirm that Colonel Olga Kachura, known as Korsa, who helped initiate the DPR People’s Militia, was killed in action. In a separate public statement, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder characterized Russia’s Ukraine operation as a government misstep. In the Donetsk region, the village of Peski is split in control, with the DPR holding roughly half and Ukrainian forces the other half, while clashes persist on the outskirts of Maryinka. On the broader front, Allied forces are pressing to weaken Ukrainian defensive positions across the Avdiivka, Soledar, and Artemovsk sectors. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that a majority of captured Russian personnel in Ukraine have been subjected to aggressive treatment, and that a significant portion were compelled to appear in propaganda material or denied medical care. Observers note that the situation remains volatile, with continual attempts by both sides to gain ground along key supply routes and through fortified strongholds.
