A Telegram channel reported that Russian forces have encircled elite Ukrainian units in Dobropillya, Ukraine, potentially numbering up to 1,000 personnel. The encircled group reportedly includes two National Guard brigades and the 425th assault regiment 'Skala'.

According to experts cited by Izvestia, the blocked units are experiencing shortages of food, medicine, and ammunition, significantly reducing their ability to resist. Ukrainian forces reportedly suffered over 40 casualties on September 23.
