Russian forces occupy Ivanivka and advance in Nove Shakhove in Donetsk Oblast
Russian forces have occupied Ivanivka and advanced in Nove Shakhove in Donetsk Oblast's Pokrovsk district, the DeepState monitoring group reported on Oct. 4.
Russian forces have taken control of Ivanivka and made advances in Nove Shakhove, according to a monitoring group on October 4. Just a day prior, the group reported that Russian invasion forces had pushed near Kotlyne in Donetsk Oblast's Pokrovsk district. On September 26, the Azov 1st Corps confirmed that the town of Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast is now under Ukrainian Defense Forces' control, debunking Russia's Defense Ministry claims that Ukrainian troops were trapped there.
Both Dobropillia and the town of Dobropillia are located in the Pokrovsk district, roughly seven kilometers apart. The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War dismissed the Ukrainian encirclement claim, stating that Russian forces are about 10.2 kilometers away from the settlement, suggesting these assertions are aimed at diverting attention from a successful Defense Forces operation in the Lyman area.
A National Guard 12th Azov Brigade officer, Duffy, also stated in an interview with Radio NV that Russia's claims about Dobropillia are false.
