OSINT researcher Clement Mullen notes that Ukrainian channels are reporting two large-scale mechanized attacks by the Russian armed forces in the Donbass.
As the researcher stated, one of them happened in the area of responsibility of the 93rd Brigade in the Druzhkovka area, the other - in the Kucherovoi Yar area.
As Mullen suggests, additional forces could go directly to Dobropolia, but this information cannot yet be confirmed.
Tanks and infantry vehicles, equipped with maximum additional protection, participated in the attacks, but they were driven off before they could reach the front line.
The researcher points out that the Russians followed the same routes as in previous mechanized attacks, and tried to repeat the same attempts again.
He doubts that the Russians' aim was precisely to break through the front line - but only to land as many infantry as possible closer to the front line.
At the same time, mechanized strikes have another purpose - while Ukrainian drone operators concentrate on repelling them, more infantry can penetrate forward.
