The DeepState project reported that Saturday marked the toughest day for Ukraine on the front since the beginning of 2025.

There were 250 combat clashes, highlighting an extraordinary level of armed operations. The Ukrainian General Staff verified that the number of enemy attacks significantly surpassed those of the previous day.

Intense attacks in the Donetsk region

Russian attacks were primarily concentrated around the cities of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove, as well as the locality of Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region.

The Ukrainian army stressed that the number of attacks had nearly tripled compared to the previous day, indicating an escalation in warfare.

The situation at the front remains tense, and the intensity of combat operations continues to grow. There have been no specific agreements regarding a potential peace conclusion, but negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine, and the USA could occur in the coming days. Saudi Arabia has been designated as the venue for such talks.
