Ukrainians living close to the frontline areas around Dobropillia have just been evacuated by the White Angels, a special Ukrainian Police unit. Some will continue to Kyiv, while others do not know where they will go live. They have been forced to flee their homes as Russia’s forces advance nearer to their homes in the Donetsk region.

During the night of August 7 through 8, around midnight, 2 Russian KABs (modernized Soviet glide bombs) hit residential buildings in Dobropillia, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Several residents that still lived in the buildings are injured, yet as of now the total number is unknown. Dobropillia was once a busy coal-mining town, yet since the central market was hit by Russian glide-bomb on July 16, 2025, most of the residents have been evacuated. Dobropillia, Ukraine.
