Russian Soldiers Are Dying In Large Numbers Near Dobropillya

The trail outside the city is littered with the bodies of the occupiers.

Russian soldiers are dying in droves near Dobropillya, which the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin lied about capturing just a few days ago. A “path of death” has formed outside the city, along which the Russians tried to break through. They failed completely.

The footage was provided by the 20th Brigade NGU “Lyubart” of the National Guard.

For quite some time now, Putin’s army has been attempting, in small assault groups, to advance toward Dobropillya from the direction of occupied Rodynske. These attempts are costing the occupiers enormous casualties, as the area is 100% under the control of Ukrainian drones.

“The enemy was pinned down; its offensive capabilities were destroyed… 80% of the infantrymen attempting to advance along this route are killed. Despite this, the Russian command continues to send infantry across open terrain in an attempt to advance toward Dobropillya,” the brigade reported. They estimate the Russian Armed Forces’ combat losses during this maneuver at 361 killed and 229 wounded.

The "path of death" was also captured by Ukrainian drones. A small area is literally littered with the bodies of Russian assault troops. A total of 41 eliminated occupiers have been recorded there.

Playfra, a reputable OSINT expert, commented on the situation.

“41 bodies of Russian soldiers are scattered over a 100-meter stretch along the road north of Rodynske… As can be seen, the marked area represents a bottleneck on at least three main routes used by Russian troops leading from their main staging area in Rodinskoye. Effective surveillance using drones allows Ukrainian forces to inflict significant damage on the enemy here, even though this area is in the red zone,” the expert noted.
