Ukraine’s counteroffensive near Dobropillia foiled Russia’s summer plan to seize much of Donbas by November,“ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, Interfax-Ukraine reported on Oct. 8.
He made this statement at a meeting with journalists.
“The most important thing is that our operation ruined all those plans that the Russians communicated to the U.S. side — that they would supposedly occupy Donbas, a larger part of Donbas, precisely by November," he explained.
"They said by September, then moved the dates to November. This operation, certainly, has an impact on the defense of Pokrovsk. Understanding that they suffered heavy losses at Dobropillia, they have now been tasked to seize Pokrovsk urgently, at any cost.”
Therefore, the operation in the Dobropillia area “spoiled the Russians’ summer offensive campaign.” He added that since the start of the Dobropillia operation on Aug. 21, the Russians have lost more than 12,000 soldiers, of whom over 7,000 were killed.
Zelenskyy said the counteroffensive continues and, although it is very difficult, it is also “very timely.”
Commenting on the Kremlin’s aim to urgently capture Pokrovsk, the president said enemy losses on the Pokrovsk axis amount to 100–200 sodliers per day.
"Thus, the most intense directions on the front remain Pokrovsk and Dobropillia, with Novopavlivka ranked next by intensity," the president stressed.
“Situation is tense on the Novopavlivka direction. Probably, after Dobropillia and Pokrovsk, our next challenge today is the Novopavlivka axis. What do we have there? We have four Russian armies that had fire control or some presence of reconnaissance-sabotage groups — the eight villages we talked about. That’s what we saw. Four villages are completely cleared by our troops. We are still fighting for another four.”
He reported that on the Kupyansk direction, Special Operations Forces, SBU A unit, and assault units continue counter-sabotage measures.
On the Lyman direction, recovery of lost positions is ongoing, the president added.

It’s incredible to see how Russia’s summer offensive hit a wall despite all their resources. The combination of strategy, resilience, and unexpected challenges clearly shaped the outcome. It really shows that even in high-stakes situations, smart planning is everything—almost like a well-timed move on tiger bet, where one wrong step can change the whole game!
