The Russian Federation tries to break through in the east: what happens near Pokrovsk and whether the enemy will take the city in a boiler
According to him, the city failed to occupy the city, so the enemy can organize its slow coverage from the south and north. Focus learned about the operational situation on this area of the front, but whether the Russians can take Pokrovsk to the boiler. Igor Romanenko told focus that the situation in the Pokrovsky direction is complicated. The enemy has resources and reserves, and therefore moves, but not as it was a month ago.
However, the offensive pace of the enemy was shot down by Ukrainian fighters. According to the expert, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been regrouped and emphasizing the Kurakhiv direction, before that it was a carbon. The invaders seized the city, after which they began to advance from the water to the next line and the offensive to the north to capture Kurakhovo and then move to Pokrovsk.
"As far as the Russians have been quickly advancing, they have chosen approaches to the fact that Pokrovsk needs to be moved from the south. And they do it slowly from the north," Romanenko said. He specified that in order to stop hostile promotion, resources needed, and their faster supply from allies under a big question. While the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex meets the needs by only 15-20% in separate areas.
Moreover, the army lacks personnel, because the pace of mobilization decreased, the expert said. The deepstate co -founder Roman Pogorely stated that in the Pokrovsky direction the situation remains difficult. "Fighting is ongoing all over the collision line, the enemy does not leave attempts to break. In particular, in particular in Novogrodivka, if we talk directly about Pokrovsk. But we see that today and recently significant and major progress is not observed," Focus said Bunned.
He noted that the Ukrainian military was doing their work. To some extent, the enemy has regroup somewhere, changed the vector of application of his forces, somewhere simply "breaks his teeth". The Russian military actively focused on Selidov, they try to get around him, fighting in Novogrodivka, but the forces of defense give the enemy "on the teeth", said the analyst. According to him, the enemy's army recently captured three settlements - Kruty Yar, Krasny Yar, Mykolaivka.
The military expert, the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov, noted in a conversation with focus, that the enemy tried to follow from the south, in particular, this is an event with Kurakhiv direction, but now there is a hostile promotion. "In the Pokrovsky direction we have more or less aligned the situation, and today there are heavy fights, but the advancement of the enemy is minimal," Zhdanov said.
Igor Romanenko noted that there are preconditions for the boiler between Pokrovsk and Kurakhov. "Girnyak, if you look at the map, and Kurakhivka, ours consistently come out of it. And since we did all this from a military point of view, we still control the process, then there should not be there. We have come out of the carbon The expert and summed up that you should always keep in mind the likelihood of some bitter scenarios.
He stressed that the situation on the front is now controlled by Ukrainian management structures. Roman Pogorely said that looking at the map, it can be seen that even approximately the likelihood that the enemy would take Pokrovsk to the boiler. "The fact that they (occupiers - ed. ) Move towards Pokrovsk, Mirnograd to take these settlements and reach the borders situations, " - explained the analyst. According to him, the Ukrainian military is making every effort to prevent it.
Further actions also depend on the current situation, resources, actions of the Ukrainian command. Oleg Zhdanov said that the enemy to Pokrovsk still needs to go more than ten kilometers. He reported that the city could not be taken to the boiler. According to the expert, the environment of the city can be one of the options for developing events on the battlefield. But for this purpose it is necessary for the Ukrainian military to retreat and the Russians broke through the defense.
"There is no such thing yet. There is a gradual promotion of the enemy by displacing us from defensive borders, advantages in the number of personnel, technique and fire advantage, especially domination in the air. It is, but to say that tomorrow they will surround Pokrovsk, nor," - " He explained. Zhdanov also stated that the Russian military could not move to Mirnograd. In the Pokrovsky direction, no attempts from the surroundings of Ukrainian fighters have been in the last one and a half months.
The enemy tried to get around Novogrodivka, Grodivka, but he did not work. He stepped on his forehead, and the Ukrainians gradually left. A Ukrainian serviceman from the 25th PABD with a call sign "Mushnay", who is fighting in the Pokrovsky direction, informed Focus that in order to seize Pokrovsk, the enemy should go "Nih*era".
Moreover, first the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation need to knock out Ukrainian defenders from Selidov, thus to go through the railway cloth to Vyshneve, and from this settlement to Petrovka and continue movement on the railway, as it was in reed. Also, the Russians need to go to the west from Novogrodivka to cover the route and at least go to the fox in order to do something from there.
Zhdanov noted that the Pokrovsky direction is not a priority for the enemy, while the main blow of the Russian Federation is carried out on Kurakhivsky. "The Russians try to take Kurakhov and go to Pokrovsk from the south. But in order to move in the Kurakhiv direction forward, again, they need to resolve the issue with our bridgehead in the Neuelsky area," he said.
The expert assured that the further movement of the Russians towards Pokrovsk is impossible without the elimination of the Ukrainian bridgehead and the capture of Kurakhov. We will remind, on October 13 a Ukrainian serviceman from the 25th OPSBR with the call sign "Muzya" told Focus that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were focused on the release of the Ukrainian line of defense and access to Pokrovsk and Mirnograd in Donetsk region. He noted that the enemy uses the technique.
