Russian forces have advanced up to 10 km near Dobropillia in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, military trackers say, sparking warnings from analysts of a potentially serious escalation days before a Trump-Putin summit on ending the conflict.
Open-source monitoring site DeepState reported on Tuesday that the push involved two rapid prongs northwards, capturing ground near three villages on a frontline linking the Ukrainian cities of Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka.
Military blogger Tatarigami_UA, a former Ukrainian army officer, said the manoeuvre could become dangerous if not countered quickly, recalling that Russia has previously intensified offensives ahead of negotiations to gain leverage.
“This is critical,” he wrote on X. “The current situation is serious, but far from the collapse some suggest.”
The sudden offensive comes as Moscow seeks to consolidate control over the Donetsk region, one of four areas it claims to have annexed from Ukraine in 2022.
The timing coincides with preparations for Friday’s meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where both sides are expected to discuss a potential deal to end the conflict.
