Russian units positioned near Dobropillia have been encircled and are being eliminated.

Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Dnipro Operational and Strategic Group of Forces, said this on Ukrainian television, according to Ukrinform.

"At least for now, the Russian units that advanced directly toward Dobropillia—those 'crab claws'—have been cut off and surrounded. So, they won’t be staying there much longer," he said.
