🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian Telegram Channel, DeepState, confirms the rumours of a Russian breakthrough east of the city of Dobropolye
The Russians appear to have pierced Ukraine's "New Donbas Line" a line of fortifications Kiev has spent much of the past two years building in case the fortresses of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka fall.
DeepState claims the Russians have entered the village of Zolotoe Kolodyaz, the first settlement behind the New Donbas Line and have even made a pincer around it, entering the neighbouring village of Vesele.
The grey area, areas where Russian DRGs and sabotage groups operate has now reached the Dobropolye-Druzhkovka highway, a critical supply line for the defenders in the Sloviansk-Konstantinovka urban conglomeration.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 The United States and Ukraine's European allies agree that Europe, not the United States, will fund further military and security assistance to Ukraine. US Vice President JD Vance gave an interview to Fox News on August 10 and reiterated the Trump Administration's consistent position that the United States will no longer directly fund the Ukrainian military effort, but that Europe can continue to buy weapons from US manufacturers for Ukraine and Europe's own defensive needs. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated in an interview with Face the Nation published on August 10 that the "floodgate" of lethal aid packages to Ukraine opened after US President Donald Trump met with Rutte on July 14 and that Canada and European NATO allies will continue to fund weapons for Ukraine. Rutte stated that these deliveries are in addition to Europe's investments in European and Ukrainian defense industrial facilities and that there will be additional European aid package announcements in the coming weeks. Western outlets reported on August 7 that NATO allies, the European Parliament, and several international banks — including US JP Morgan Chase, German Commerzbank, and Canadian RBC Capital Markets — are backing the new Bank for Defense, Security, and Resilience (DSRB), an international bank that will specialize in lending to NATO and allied countries for defense procurement.
Other Key Takeaways:
The United States and Ukraine's European allies agree that Europe, not the United States, will fund further military and security assistance to Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the August 15 summit in Alaska.
The Kremlin is attempting to use the upcoming Alaska summit to divide the United States from Europe rather than engage in meaningful peace efforts.
Ukraine's European allies continue to signal their support for Ukraine and US-led peace efforts ahead of the Alaska summit.
Russian tank losses appear to be declining as Russian forces continue to deprioritize mechanized assaults across the frontline, indicating that the Russian command recognizes that it cannot protect vehicles from Ukrainian drone strike capabilities on the frontline and near rear.
Ukraine continued its long-range drone strike campaign against Russian military and energy infrastructure overnight on August 9 to 10, including the first drone strike against a target in the Komi Republic.
Ukrainian drone manufacturers have developed a new drone capable of intercepting higher-speed Russian drones.
Russian forces recently advanced near Lyman.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 At Zolotyi Kolodyaz', Russia had first contact with Ukraine's New Donbas Line, and its DRGs broke through it for the first time, with the Ukrainians suffering from catastrophic manpower shortages.
In the long term, this might endanger all of Ukrainian-controlled Donbas. A damage assessment and technical strategical overview of the situation:
The story starts on July 21th, when, according to DeepState, Russian DRGs were recorded east of Nove Shakhove. As of the evening of August 6th, local channels finally reported shooting battles in Zolotyi Kolodyaz, 7km from the last known Russian position.
Let's break down the confusion on what exactly causes these breakthroughs. I identified 4 reasons:
1. Catastrophic manpower shortage in the Ukrainian ranks in this sector, initiating a loop of disorganized retreat ---> Russian breakthroughs ---> lengthening of the front ---> manpower shortage ---> disorganized retreat.
In this specific case we can name Koptieve, settlement from which the Ukrainians retreated in terrible order in mid-June. From there, the Russians exploited a hole that formed in Razine behind the Kazenyi Torets river, and continued without much resistance all the way until the doors of Rodynske, where at the time of writing they have been effectively stopped.
2. Command incapacity. In this sector the Ukrainian command is reportedly "living on another world", and is very likely not giving orders, or sending Ukrainian forces into hopeless counterattacks with no planning whatsoever.
3. Extremely large amount of Russian resources committed to this direction, with rumours talking of about 100,000 troops just on the Pokrovsk sector. Most of these resources are currently attacking 24/7, which eventually exhausts Ukrainian drone crews, forcing them to temporarily give in and give ground to the attackers Notice how I replaced "defenders" with "drone crews" specifically: there is simply nobody in the positions.
4. New Russian tactics. For about a month now, the Russians have been massively increasing DRG usage. These very small groups of 2-3 people are sent along very well planned routes with the hope of simply bypassing Ukrainian positions (which do not constitute a line, but rather "bubbles" on a map because of resource and personnel shortage), getting in their rear and sewing as much chaos as possible, harassing logistics and, something that is very often overlooked but is the one reason of many Russian breakthroughs recently, distracting Ukrainian UAV crews from the front and Russian pilots, which in turn get total operational freedom and can suppress Ukrainian "bubbles" easily.
These small DRG groups are almost always noticed on approach to the PVD (accumulation point), and they're hit both in that phase and when moving from the PVD to their objective. Even if these efforts render a DRG troop's survival chance very low, the sheer amount of forces committed that we just talked about give considerable results.
A possible breakthrough at Zolotyi Kolodyaz opens the opportunity to encircle and conquer the remaining Ukrainian strongholds in the Donbas.
In general, I think the Russians will make attempts to attack Dobropillia and Bilozerske from the east, if not to create a pincer from the northern side of these two cities, but if they will encounter resistance, they will have to stop.
Rather, I think they will try to advance north and south of Dobropillia to wedge between it and Bilozerske, while also using the railway to their advantage to create the northern pincer of Bilozerske.
Further south it seems logical, since they encountered resistance at Rodynske, to attack Bilytske from the north, and then descend all the way to Hryshyne, last retreat route for Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.

The deal includes an agreement that will create a major transit corridor to be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, the White House said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 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.
