HERAUSFORDERUNG

Against the backdrop of Ukraine's successful offensive in Kursk region rf, the Ukrainian front continues to shift, especially in the East - Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions. However, in this case, successes are on the side of the russian army and the months-long attack of the occupiers seems to be coming to a climax. What if the russians still manage to capture an important logistical hub for the AFU - the city of Pokrovsk, said the head of the Council of Reservists of the AFU Ground Forces Ivan Tymochko in a commentary for ‘RBC-Ukraine’.

What should we expect if the occupants enter Pokrovsk?

Tymochko noted that the russian army will not stop the pressure in case of capture of the city.

‘It is such an illusion that if the russians go into Pokrovsk.... If they do - it is still a question whether they will, or even approach. They will supposedly stop there to regroup. No. We've seen in Avdiivka, Ocheretino. They, unfortunately, do not stop,’ he said.

According to him, the russians will try to keep the intensity of fighting at the level it is.

Situation in Donetsk region

Tymochko also explained that Chasov Yar, which the russians have been trying to seize for several months, was set as the main target from the very beginning, as it is an exit towards the agglomeration of the cities of Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka. The russians need this direction to cover the Donetsk region from the north.

According to him, this is a strategic plan of the enemy, which he has long been trying to realise.

‘As for the risks. Chasov Yar the enemy tried to occupy back when. Almost a year of fighting has been going on. Always the enemy has stated that ‘it's about to happen, just a little more and seize it’. I will not say that the situation there is improving dramatically. But we must understand that Donetsk region is the only area where the russians still have a tactical level advantage or where they have managed to concentrate such a number of troops that they have, let's say, the potential to advance,’ the AFU spokesman said.

At the same time, according to Tymochko, there is no activity from the russians in other areas, such as Kharkiv and Zaporozhye. In general, the enemy is now forced to reduce its offensive potential in other regions in order to throw all its forces into the Donetsk direction.

Russian losses are colossal 

The russian army is already using the tactic of meat assaults in a familiar manner when attacking Donbas. This strategy was observed during the offensive on Bakhmut and Avdeevka. In order to capture small Ukrainian villages, the russians are sacrificing large numbers of personnel and equipment.

In the past 24 hours alone, the russian army lost 1,200 personnel. The russian army also lost about 50 units of military equipment.

We remind you! Ukrainian drones struck four military airfields in russia at once. Enemy media called the attack on airbases the most large-scale since the beginning of the war. What targets Ukraine hit and how this should affect russian attacks, read here.
