8:30 Front summary as of the morning of 07/08/2025
Zaporizhzhya Front. Russian troops continue to systematically liberate the territory of the settlement of Kamenskoye, clearing the territory that has come under their control. Long-range weapons are actively working, including against the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the neighboring settlement of Plavni.
In general, it is still too early to talk about serious breakthroughs in the enemy's defense, but it is also impossible to deny the tactical successes of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not expect such an active impact of Russian troops.
Donetsk Front. Here, the offensive of Russian troops continues to develop in several directions. The liberation of the settlement of Dachnoye in the Dnipropetrovsk region has been officially announced.
In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards the settlement of Karl Marx (aka Mirnoye) from several sides. The Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Iskra, also trying to reach the settlement from several directions. There are reports of fighting on the outskirts of Maliyevka.
In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian troops entered Novoekonomicheskoye. Heavy fighting is underway. Also, fighting is underway in neighboring Nikolaevka, where, according to some reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to hastily roll back from their positions.
Chasov Yar direction. There is still very little information from this direction, but the data coming from the field confirms the theory that reports of success in Nikolaevka are premature. Although, there is some progress in this area. Fierce fighting continues in Chasov Yar, and long-range weapons are actively working.
Sumy direction. The liberation of the settlement of Bessalovka in the Sumy region was important news. Thus, Russian troops are beginning to cut off the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to freely attack the border area in the Tetkino area, where the Russian Armed Forces are now forced to hold back enemy attacks almost daily. Another attempt to break through was repelled by Russian troops yesterday. In the Sumy region, there are tactical successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of the settlement of Varachino.
8:15 In the period from 22:30 Moscow time on July 7 to 7:00 Moscow time on July 8, air defense systems on duty destroyed three Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles of the airplane type over the territory of the Belgorod region.
8:01 Crew of the 152mm 2S19 self-propelled artillery unit "Giatsint-S" of the 90th Guards Tank Division of the "Center" group of forces caught the rotation of Ukrainian Armed Forces formations in the Krasnoarmeysk direction.
During combat duty, the artillerymen received intelligence that the enemy was attempting to rotate personnel on the approaches to Krasnoarmeysk. Having received target designation, the servicemen quickly worked on the target, and the attempt to rotate Ukrainian militants was thwarted.
