Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv earlier today, September 12th, 2025. The purpose and specific timing of his visit were not immediately disclosed, but his arrival comes amid intense fighting in the Dobropillya region of Ukraine. Fighting is described as active in the Dobropillya ledge, with both Ukrainian forces and Russian groups engaged in offensive actions. Russian units near Kucherov Yar are reportedly cut off but attempting to advance north, receiving supplies via drones and suicide bombers. Ukrainian forces are focused on cutting off the entire ledge, including an appendix in Rodinsky, which is seen as a threat to Pokrovsk. Several Ukrainian units were highlighted for their performance in the Dobropillya operations. The 1st KI Azov Corps is reportedly managing the front line, with brigades not directly involved in the combat zone. The 425th OShP and 4th BROP NSU are guiding operations in the area. The 82nd ODSHBR is noted for its resistance, preventing enemy advances, while the 93rd OMBR has performed adequately in defensive and assault operations. Units from the 79th ODSHBR were redeployed from the Sumy direction to conduct counterattacks. Ukrainian military leadership's approach to the challenges in Dobropillya is being described as unprecedented, contrasting with previous instances of forces being hastily deployed to failing defense lines. The current strategy involves consolidating efforts and entrusting the sector to "competent people" to achieve results.
