Strategic Crisis Of Ukrainian Defense Deepens In Pokrovsk Direction

Illustrative Image

Strategic crisis of Ukrainian defense on the Donbass frontlines is gaining momentum. The Armed Forces of Ukraine retreat in all directions. Over the past day, the positions of Ukrainian forces in the Pokrovsk direction sharply deteriorated.

The Russian army advanced in three different directions near Pokrovsk. According to reports from the front, the village of Zhelannoe Vtoroe (2nd) came under control of Russian forces. The settlement is located on the southern flank of the advancing Russian grouping. As a result, the cauldron is closing threatening Ukrainian garrison that is trying to resist in the areas west of Nevelskoe. The Ukrainian military is forced to urgently retreat to Kurahovka and cross the river under Russian fire; but they could not rest for a long time, since the Russian army can soon encircle Kurahovka as well.

Russian forces gained another strategically important victory on the southwestern flank. As a result of successful offensive operations, they broke through Ukrainian defense on the northern outskirts of the town of Tsukurino, gained a foothold and cut the local railway. As a result Ukrainian military supplies on a wide Donetsk front were disrupted.

The further rapid advance was possible after the Russian military took control of the dumps of the local Selidovskaya mine located on the dominant heights in the area.

The advancing Russian assault groups are driving a wedge between the Ukrainian garrisons in Tsukurino and Gornyak. According to reports from the battlefield, Russian assault on Gornyak was suspended. Russian forces are already in control of the railway north of the town and are fighting on the northern streets. Amid the rapid Russian advance, Ukrainian forces are likely to soon withdraw from Tsukurino to save forces. Russian forces may launch offensive along the railway towards Voznesenka. As a result, a large Ukrainian grouping deployed in Gornyak and Kurahovka will be captured in another cauldron.

 

 

Russian control of the railway north of Tsukurino also paved the way for further offensive to the north and encirclement of Selidovo from the south. Russian forces are also expanding their zone of control north of Selidovo.

The Russian military is close to end the offensive operations aimed to straighten the flanks before the upcoming assault on Selidovo, the main Ukrainian stronghold near Pokrovsk. Russian forces are already present in the eastern part of the town and they are likely to resume large scaled assault in the nearest future.

the soviet union was not a superpower. it was ravaged by foreign armies from its inception, and subject to an unrelenting assault by the us empire, the most powerful in history, for forty-six years. now russia is fighting off a twenty-five-year hybrid assault by that empire and grinding a ukrainian puppet state that was weaponized by the empire.

Erikovitch

ah the armchair expert once again. what percentage of its forces is russia using in the donbass? what percentage ukraine? russian reserves are waiting patiently for nato to actively join in, and then guess what? because of the retarded us of a there will be war in mainland europe. what a great result moron.

soon the battle for the last line of defense of kiev regime in donbass will start. i expect heavy battles and a last stand because these soldiers understand the frontline will reach the ukrainian speaking areas eventually so they will be more fanatic🙃

in other words, the russian forces are everywhere, stiring up cauldrons. the nato countries have had this planned for years and they have lied to their people for years. they now want to sell us the down the same river as the ukrainian people.
