Will not retain the initiative: the offensive of the Russian Federation in Ukraine will end earlier - analysts
About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of September 5. The purpose of the Russian military command is probably that these minor efforts, regardless of their success, blocked the Ukrainian forces in the western part of the Donetsk region and did not allow Ukrainian relocation to strengthen the defense of Pokrovsk.
The Russian military command demonstrated a pronounced desire to protect its efforts in the Pokrovsky direction from the operating pressure caused by the invasion of Ukraine into the Kursk region. Probably, the rest of the operational reserves were saved for efforts from the capture of Pokrovsk himself. This level of priority is likely to be maintained regardless of the success of strengthened Russian offensives in the western part of Donetsk region.
Russian troops began to try to expand the Pokrovsky performance along the Selidovo - Ukrainian - Girnyk as a preparatory step for a future attempt to capture the city of Pokrovsk. Any involvement of parts of the central group of troops in the offensive in the west of Donetsk region is likely to be an additional condition for the capture of Pokrovsk.
The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation tries to stretch the Ukrainian forces with the help of consistent offensive pressure, and apparently these large -scale attempts have intensified along the line in the Donetsk region. However, Russian troops will not be able to keep the initiative throughout the Eastern Front in Ukraine, according to analysts.
