Quote: "Over the past few days, the dynamics of assault actions have increased on the Huliaipole front and even surpassed the Pokrovsk front, where the enemy, having essentially occupied the city, is now being recorded deeper in the territory, particularly along the Zaliznychne-Staroukrainka-Sviatopetrivka section.

The enemy is exploiting opportunities that are forming, including due to problems in our defence, and is putting pressure on the Huliaipole sector by deploying additional resources."

Details: The analysts say that during the first 10 days of March, Russian forces carried out about 1,400 assaults across different sections of the front, which is the lowest figure in recent times, "but not critically different from previous months".

In addition to the Huliaipole front, heavy fighting continues in the areas of Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka.

Quote: "The enemy is currently preparing for changing weather conditions and the emergence of foliage, therefore regrouping, replenishing reserves, forming new forces and reinforcing existing sectors where tasks have been set or where there have been successes for various reasons."

Background: The report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 16:00 on 12 March stated that the largest number of combat clashes since the beginning of the day – 18 attacks – was recorded on the Huliaipole front.
