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

The enemy is exploiting the opportunities that are arising, including some resulting from problems in our defence, and is putting pressure on the Huliaipole sector by deploying additional resources."

Details: DeepState says that during the first 10 days of March, Russian forces carried out about 1,400 assaults across the various 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 a change in the weather conditions and the emergence of foliage cover, and therefore they are 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 General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated in its report as of 16:00 on 12 March that the largest number of combat clashes since the beginning of the day – 18 attacks – was recorded on the Huliaipole front.
