Russian Forces Capture Key Defensive Line East of Niu-York

Aug 12, 2024, 08:42 AM

Russian forces have reportedly captured the entire 2016 defensive line east of Niu-York, marking significant territorial gains in the region. The advance has been noted near Panteleimonivka and New York, with the loss of territory between New York (DPR) and Yuzhnoye being acknowledged. This area had been the only place on the front line that remained unchanged since 2022. Ukrainian sources suggest that the last section of the Minsk Agreement-era defense line, held by Ukrainian forces for nearly a decade, has fallen, though this has not been officially confirmed. Mapping from DeepStateUA indicates a substantial withdrawal of Ukrainian forces, leading to a collapse of the previously considered invincible Niu-York defense line.
