Ukrainian forces have successfully regained key positions near the village of Kotlyne in the Pokrovsk direction of the Donetsk region, following intense battles with Russian occupation troops. This development, reported by the trusted DeepState analytical project and cited by the Ukrainian National News Agency (UNN), comes amid a sharp increase in enemy offensives across the frontline.
The liberation of the area near Kotlyne marks a significant local success in a region where hostilities have remained high. Ukrainian defenders faced a barrage of Russian assaults but managed to reclaim ground strategically important for controlling the Pokrovsk axis.
In parallel, Russian troops have made limited advances near Katerynivka, Kalynove, and Nadiivka, also within the Pokrovsk district. These minor gains have come at a high cost to the Kremlin’s forces, who continue to suffer mounting losses amid strong Ukrainian resistance.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled an astonishing 58 enemy assaults and offensive manoeuvres within just one day. These attacks occurred in and around the settlements of Kalynove, Yelizavetivka, Lysivka, Shevchenko, Zvirove, Udachne, Uspenivka, Novooleksandrivka, Kotlyarivka, Bohdanivka, and Andriivka.

| Kotlyne | Ukrainian forces regained ground |
| Katerynivka | Russian forces advanced slightly |
| Kalynove | Russian forces advanced slightly |
| Nadiivka | Russian forces advanced slightly |
| Multiple locations | 58 Russian assaults repelled by Ukrainian defenders |
