[Korrespondent] An important component of the enemy's success is the lies from the ground in reports about the real state of affairs, which prevents the assessment of risks and response to changes in the situation from above, analysts say.
Russian invaders are actively advancing in the Novopavlovskoye direction towards the administrative border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. This was reported by the monitoring project DeepState on Wednesday, July 15.

"The Russians are intensively moving towards the administrative border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, occupying settlements, villages and positions that remain on the way to it. The entire section from Alekseyevka to Novopol is under pressure from the enemy, who, with the help of his main resource - infantry and heavy losses, is paving the way for himself to occupy Donetsk region," the statement says.

It is noted that the Dachnoye area of the Dnepropetrovsk region is active, where groups of Russians constantly enter in order to gain a foothold in the village, but the Defense Forces are making efforts to prevent this.

"The situation is chaotic along the Novokhatskoye-Piddubnoye-Mirnoye-Perebudova-Komar-Fedorovka-Voskresenka section. It is a very complex section, which is the most difficult to analyze in the entire section," DeepState noted.

Analysts say a big part of the enemy's success is the lies from the ground in reports about the real state of affairs, which makes it difficult to assess risks and respond to changing circumstances from above.

"In the area from Zeleny Gai to Zeleny Pole, where commanders were given the opportunity to report on the situation without consequences, they continued as before. And this is a huge problem that entails catastrophic consequences," writes DeepState.

Let us recall that as of 16:00 on Wednesday, 63 combat clashes had occurred on the front , which is almost half of yesterday's figure for this time of day. Such data was published by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational report. Seven Russian assaults were repelled in the Novopavlovsk direction.
