The Russian Federation prepares a large -scale offensive on Pokrovsk: forbes explained if the Armed Forces can counter
Currently, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are only a few kilometers from the city itself. The coming Russian siege does not depend on which side controls the large Novosilka and the surrounding villages. Forbes writes about it. "This may depend on whether Russian troops are eliminated by Ukrainians around Kurakhov, 40 km miles east of the Great Novosilka. The main protrusion, depth of nine miles at the deepest point, crashes into the front line south of Kurakhov.
In the speech, supplies that support Russian forces that come to Pokrovsk in the north may threaten the supply lines, " - EX. He emphasizes that there are about 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers. But up to nine Russian regiments and brigades with a maximum number of 18,000 soldiers.
And the Russians continue to use frontal mechanized and foot infantry attacks for slow but gradual advance to the eastern and central part of the curakhov and south of Kurakhov, which supports Russia's larger efforts to eliminate the remaining Ukrainian enclosure between the distant and the Kurakhov. The worst scenario for Ukraine is the "cut" by Russian troops between the two villages in the north, then the forces of the Armed Forces in the east will be cut off.
"There is a real threat to the environment," the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies warned. If the Ukrainian forces retreat, the Russian forces will "straighten" the front line from south to north of Novosilka to Pokrovsk, reducing the threats of their flanks when they besieged Pokrovsk. If Ukrainians hold on to a speech, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can decide to risk their flanks and still attack Pokrovsk. How a siege can soon begin depends on many factors.
Winter weather can interfere. "The growing loss of Russian Russians in the Kursk region in the west of Russia can undermine the total power of the Russian army," - EX. On the other hand, the new administration of US President Donald Trump may stop US assistance to Ukraine next month and deprive Ukrainian troops of critically important weapons. The coming weeks should determine how the Russian Armed Forces attack Pokrovsk. Whether they will attack, it is already quite clear.
"The future battle for Pokrovsk will be the culmination of the enemy's offensive operation at the Southwestern War Theater in 2024," says EXA, believing that a small Ukrainian counterattack in the area of Greater Novosilka will not be able to stop much larger and most likely inevitable Russian attack. . We will remind, in the morning on December 9 it became known that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced at once near several settlements.
