The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation concentrated on the capture of Konstantinovka: how the front will change in the case of occupation (map)
He reported it on the air of "Espresso". He noted that Pokrovsky, Donetsk directions and the area of the time ravine should be combined into one - Konstantinovsky. "The enemy has plans. His purpose is to go to Konstantinovka. It is a railway that we actively use like any army during the war," said Alexei Hetman. He stressed that the rail can be transported faster and more necessary for the army, so there is now a struggle for this city.
According to the hetman, whether the enemy will be able to reach Konstantinovka, time will tell. In particular, the distance from the time ravine to the settlement is about 15 kilometers, from Toretsky and Pokrovsky-20-25 kilometers, which is a relatively short distance. The Major believes that the Armed Forces keep defense and understand that it is an important object, so they will be able to suspend the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
"We are extremely unprofitable to lose Konstantinovka, and we cannot do it," he said. The hetman stressed that whether the defense will be able to maintain a few factors. Namely, the enemy is the question of how many efforts and means they will be able to attract there, and on the part of Ukrainians - weapons, which should be transferred by partners, fortifications to be built, and people involved in the army. However, some Ukrainian defense units are not 100%completed, 50%in certain equipment.
Instead, the Russians have a numerical advantage, they constantly replace the advancing groups with new, fresh forces, while the Armed Forces keep defense with some people, rotation is less active than the enemy. We will remind, on June 26 the military expert Sergey Grabsky reported that at the time of occupation of the Novo Alexandrovka of Donetsk region there will be a threat to Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka.
