On the northeastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces achieved a significant breakthrough to the east of Dobropillya, occupying positions 7km deep into Ukrainian lines. After artillery preparation on the village of Zolotyi Kolodyaz, Russian DRG units infiltrated…
With this new breakthrough, Russian DRGs are now within 4.5km of the Dobropillya-Kramatorsk Highway., and Russian assault units are within 6.7km
If Russian soldiers can capture Zolotyi Kolodyaz, this highway will become unusable for Ukrainian forces, meaning they can only use the Oleksandrivka-Kramatorsk highway to reach Kramatorsk from the west, and subsequently supply Druzhkivka, Kostyantynivka and all the surrounding areas there.
Of course, this breakthrough may have been opportunistic in nature, and Russia may not even be trying to cut the highway at this moment. They will need to do a lot of consolidation and bring up significant reinforcements to secure this wedge - let alone exploit and expand it. But this development towards the highway is not a good sign for Ukraine, not only from a logistical view, but simply the fact that it happened, and that it happened so suddenly and quickly.
Quoting Deepstate, Ukraine's manpower situation in the Pokrovsk direction is "catastrophic". Major efforts will need to take place in order to constrain and contain this breakthrough, but a lot of it depends on what Russia is focusing on, and how many focuses they have.
Also, interesting to note is that the Donetsk OVA head announced that this highway would be closed to all civilian vehicles less than 4 weeks ago on July 16. At that time, the frontline was around 17km away, significantly more than today's 6.7km. It's become clear that these measures come in advance of Russian successes that the Ukrainian command knows are imminent.
Take the mandatory evacuation orders for families with children from Kramatorsk for example. This occurred shortly before Russia captured Chasiv Yar.
Another example is the mandatory evacuation orders of families with children from Dobropillya, which occurred just before the breakthrough to Bilytske.
Overall, Ukraine's manpower shortages are reaching levels not seen before in this war. Mobilisation is only slowing the inevitable, and these breakthroughs are only set to become larger and more frequent.

So, what happened to that large-scale combined Russian missile attack that was set occur?
Well, Steve Witkoff's visit to Moscow coincided with the day that this attack was supposed to take place, resulting in its postponement. Now Trump and Putin have agreed to meet in Alaska on August 15, meaning that it's unlikely that this attack will take place any time before August 17 so as not to tarnish Russia's image of seeking a peaceful resolution to the war.
However, Russia has not been quiet behind the scenes. Accumulation of Geran-2 drones, Kh-101 cruise missiles, and Iskander-M ballistic missiles has been taking place.
Since the last combined missile attack 13 days ago on July 28, 7 IL-76MD military transport aircraft have made flights to Engels-2 Airbase in Saratov Oblast, which is the main airbase used for equipping Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers. 4 Tu-95s are currently stationed at Engels-2, and have been there for over four days, which is a very rare phenomenon recently for this base. Three of these bombers have been conducting nightly training for young pilots, while one is undergoing active maintenance.
As for Gerans, very few have been launched over the past 5 days, with no more than 50 per night. While it may seem like a lot from the reports, the vast majority of them are Gerbera drones, which have no warhead and aim to waste and further overwhelm Ukrainian air defence. This means that Gerans are being accumulated at the different launch points for usage in the next combined missile attacks.
Iskanders have also not been used much lately, with some days not witnessing a single strike. This also indicates accumulation, especially in Voronezh, Bryansk and Rostov Oblasts.

This is very true. We saw similar situations occur in south Donetsk Oblast, but that was only with the direction that the fortifications were facing.

Locals report that at least 2 Geran-2 drones impacted the centre of Zolotyi Kolodyaz a short time ago, which is where Russian DRGs infiltrated a few days ago.
This is part of a large-scale daytime attack on Donetsk Oblast, which involved approximately 20 Gerans. Several impacts were also recorded in Dobropillya and Bilozerske. Power outages are reported in both cities, while internet connection is fully down in Dobropillya.
The video is from Bilozerske, where at least two civilians were injured from the strikes.

Ukraine truly will be known as the whack-a-mole war. Never predict Russia to push in one area for a long time - at least not for now.
Remember what I and others said about the Sumy and Kharkiv incursions? Don’t lose sight of the true goals of attritional warfare… like people from both sides constantly do.

It's rumoured that Russia's breakthrough east of Dobropillya has bloomed further, with Russian forces capturing the villages of Nove Shakhove, Novyi Donbas and Vilne, and entering the villages of Ivanivka, Zolotyi Kolodyaz (again), Rubizhne, Dorozhnje and Kucheriv Yar.
It's also reported that Ukrainian forces moved back into northern Volodymyrivka after the Russians failed to consolidate there.
If these reports are true, then it would put Russia just 3.4km from the Dobropillya - Kramatorsk Highway, and 3.9km from the outskirts of Dobropillya.

An entire Al-Jazeera journalist team was killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on their tent outside the destroyed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
The team consisted of two reporters, two photographers, and a driver. An independent Palestinian journalist was also killed.
The IDF stated that they were targeting one of the correspondents, who they claimed operated under the guise of an Al-Jazeera journalist to conceal his activity as the head of a Hamas squad.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Australia will recognise the State of Palestine at the next UN General Assembly on September 9, 2025.
He stated that Australia recognises the "right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own, predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority".
The Palestinian Authority (PA), led by the Fatah Political Party, are the internationally recognised leaders of Palestine. They exert partial civil control over the Areas A and B of the West Bank, but have no presence in the Gaza Strip, which was under full control of the Hamas political party (and still partially is).
The PA is funded by Israel to maintain security in areas of the West Bank not permanently occupied by the IDF, and they collaborate with Shin Bet and the IDF both in military activity and intelligence gathering, often against militant cells operating in the West Bank's refugee camps.

Possible Iskander launch from Crimea to Mykolaiv Oblast.
This was an S-300/400 air defence missile. Unclear what its targeting.
