Добропілля: «Замотали в простирадло, викопали яму та й поховали» / hromadske

Before russia’s full-scale invasion, nearly 30,000 people lived in Dobropillia. Today, it is a city of empty, shattered streets. This is where one of the fiercest battles in southern Donetsk region is now unfolding. After the occupation of Pokrovsk, Dobropillia became russia’s next major target. “Now that the trees and vegetation have fully grown in, enemy movement has increased significantly. Large groups of russian infantry are advancing from multiple directions at once, moving through tree lines and across open fields. We simply don't have enough firepower to eliminate all of them. This is how the enemy is operating now, and as the summer goes on, they will increasingly try to infiltrate through our defensive positions,” says Odesa, an officer with the Vanguard 2nd Battalion of the Rubizh Brigade, describing russia’s summer offensive. For two days, hromadske journalists embedded with the 4th Operational Brigade “Rubizh,” named after Hero of Ukraine Sgt. Serhii Mykhalchuk, which is defending the city. Watch the report by Diana Butsko and Vladyslav Safronov to see what the battle for Dobropillia looks like from the inside.
