On Sunday, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that "units of the 90th Tank Division of the 'Center' troop group reached the western border of the Donetsk People's Republic and continue to advance into the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region." The Ukrainian military has not yet commented on this statement.
As reported by the "Agency"*, maps from OSINT analysts do not yet confirm the invasion of the Russian army into the Dnipropetrovsk region, but they show that the combat zone is located several hundred meters from the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The distance between the "gray zone," where battles between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian army took place, and the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region is about 600 meters, according to an updated map on Sunday morning from the OSINT project DeepState, which is close to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. At the same time, the distance from the territory controlled by the Russian military, according to the project, to the regional borders remains 2 km.
For the first time, the Russian army's advance to the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region was reported on May 22 by the Telegram channel of TV host Vladimir Solovyov. However, according to independent experts, at that time the Russian military still had several kilometers to go to reach the border. Meanwhile, OSINT analyst Kirill Mikhailov, in a conversation with the "Agency," suggested that the entry of Russian troops into the Dnipropetrovsk region is possible in the coming weeks.
