The front in the Donbass "fell"? The Russian Federation seized 8 settlements in three days, whether time is to correct mistakes
On October 29, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported about the seizure of Selidovo, Girnyk, Katerynivka and Epiphany of Donetsk region. The Ukrainian command does not confirm this data, but some military speak directly about the significant breakthrough of the Russians. According to Major General of the Armed Forces Dmitry Marchenko, "the front in the Donbass fell" and this is not a military secret. In part, this happened because of the lack of ammunition, weapons and people.
Those who participate in the battles are very tired and are simply unable to pull the fronts. Fighting also resulted from unbalanced management. "Unfortunately, Selidovo has already come, and they are already fixed. The Russian army was quickly occupied by Minek and the village of Tsukurine. The seizure of Selidovoy will allow the offensive to begin with a wide front towards the west of Kurakhiv Reservoir. Near Kurakhov is an important transport interchange leading to the Zaporozhye region.
"What is happening right now, I will say that it should not be exactly," Marchenko added. Similar schedules were voiced by German military observers. The analyst of the German tabloid Bild Julian Repke notes that the "front is falling apart" in the south of Donetsk region. Over the past three days, the Russian army has seized eight settlements: Bogoyavlenko, Katerynivka, Izmailivka, Oleksandropol, Girnyk, Selidovo, Shakhtar and Vyshneve. A regional scale is a loss of 2 to 5 kilometers a day.
It will take six months to enter the Dnieper region at such a rate of Russia, he notes. In the current situation, he accuses Western allies: such a weak level of support leads to the fact that "Ukraine is losing war in the eyes. " Kyiv cannot find the means and ways to stop Russia's offensive. "It is necessary to immediately increase the number of new weapons, ammunition, no restrictions. Second - the protection of the Ukrainian sky of NATO and real sanctions against Russia and its allies.
Since we (almost all of the EU) and the US are not ready to do anything of it, it remains only to watch the disaster" , - the journalist lists the right decisions. The German edition of Welt Christoph Vanner estimated that in October the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation captured more Ukrainian territories than in September and August 2024. The highest level of territories has been observed since March 2022, when the invaders moved to Kiev.
For the whole of 2023 they occupied 584 square meters. meters of Ukraine, and since January 1, 2024 the area of the occupied areas increased to 2660 square meters. kilometers. On October 25, the High Commander -in -Chief was stated on the Donbass, but Ukrainian defenders continue to hold positions and do everything to destroy the enemy.
Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Committee on National Security, recognizes the fact of temporary losing Ukraine in military plan and advantages of Russia at the front. At the same time, he denies the formulation "Front Sleep. " The front line is difficult to keep, as its stabilization will require additional reserves. The loss of territories is clearly not about the victory of Ukraine, he explained. "A collapse is probably more strategic definition.
The collapse would be if the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were near the Dnieper or Kharkiv. Russia is moving, but not as rapidly as it was in 2022.
What measures to take? To take fresh and well -prepared reserves, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications, to build fortifications to ask the event to give more weapons, " - said the politician recommendations. The built protective structures do not always meet the current needs of the war, but they are still erected, the people's deputy is convinced.
It should be emphasized that problems in the lack of military assistance and the construction of fortifications have not arisen today. Kostenko advises how quickly the situation can be changed to the current moment. Russian invaders are rapidly moving in those areas of the front where it should not have been. Military analyst Alexander Kovalenko explains it with two abstracts: either not used all means of damage or not prepared fortification obstacles.
For example, he gives the promotion of the Russian group to the village of Shakhtarske from the Golden Niva of Donetsk region. "As a result of the 6. 5 kilometers' occupiers were three days. They were, but I am sure that they were not combined with steel rods or chains. The protection of the rest of the Donbass territories will require the implementation of the principle of hypertrophied defense.
It is necessary to place on the roads of "teeth of dragons" every 500 meters, this defense tactics have long been guided by the army of Russia. "Every 500-600 meters the Russian column had to hinder and become goal for our drones and artillery. Another question: how many have placed anti-tank mines TM-62? Every 250 meters need to place" checkers "on 14 or 21 pieces. In the case of the highway to Shakhtar, "he added.
The Armed Forces in 2023 met with hypertrophied defense of the Russians during a counter -offensive in the Zaporozhye region. The line of security was almost impossible to break through and there were areas where five mines were lying on each square meter. In addition, the enemy was pushing so many trenches and firing positions that it was impossible to go unnoticed, Kovalenko states. "Of course, we cannot say that we need to take an example from the occupiers.
But the Zaporizhzhia region is still under their control. Why we don't use it when the Russians have a numerical advantage and in technology? Soon we will have another problem - elections in the United States. For two months we will be in a state of anabiosis, as it was during the battles in Congress, " - the analyst warns. Kovalenko also questioned Marchenko's statement about the "Front" in the Donbass.
The term is relevant if the enemy broke through the defense on the front area of more than 20 kilometers and a depth of more than 30 kilometers, and also reached the operational space. "It is a quick and irreversible breakthrough by the enemy of the first (line of security) and the second line of defense, with direct exit and operation in the zone of the third line of defense (rear security zone)," the expert summed up.
