The bridgehead near Marinka. What do the Russians seek to storm the destroyed city
the Ukrainian bridgehead, located east of the Marinka-Vugledar road, has long "mulled the eye" to the Russians for two main reasons: that is, this railway "branch" could potentially be To play a lot of importance in the system of logistics (MTZ) of enemy troops operating in the southern operating area (first of all-a grouping At the operational level, it is usually carried out by rail, the Russian "rear" at the operational level is adapted for this method of MTZ).
This becomes even more relevant, given the regular strikes of the Armed Forces on the Russian Military Infrastructure in the Occupied Pan of Crimea . . . But as long as this Ukrainian bridgehead exists, the use of the Russian command of this railway to supply MTZ items to their troops to the west of the Volnovakha-Mariupol Conditional Line. Significant volumes, let's say so, are difficult in some way . . .
I think, first of all, it was for these two considerations, the Russian command planned, organized and now tries to implement a certain plan (plan) to eliminate this bridgehead of the Armed Forces. In my opinion, there are active offensive actions of the enemy in the direction of Marinka -Georgiyevka . . . What is the essence of this plan? I think that "in Idiale", it involves several stages . . It is short and as schematic . . . 2.
In reality, the situation in the area developed and developed, to put it mildly, a little "otherwise". About one and a half to two months ago, the enemy had already tried to step (and as far as I remember, for at least a week) in the Novmayorsk district and the villages of Shevchenko (Southern Group). However, these attacks ended to no avail . . . Similarly, from the northern flank "The Language of Marinka" was also "a little delayed" . . .
and therefore, the opportunity to organize a full offensive on her side for Victory -Konstantinovka - too . . . Even so, the "Avdeevskaya Operations. "," The posting of the Bakhmut "and a number of Russian winter" activities ". Therefore, obviously, for another "activity" between the carbon and Marinka, the Russian command could not attract significant strength and means, as it did in the Avdeevsky direction.
This, in turn, clearly led to the revision of the meaning and content of the plan (plan) of the enemy to solve the "Problem of the Coloral Speech". His command on this segment had, as Mr. Arestovich said, "Urezat the sturgeon" . . . That is, instead of the realization of "bold and ambitious" plan of active offensive actions "on the environment", for the purpose of "releasing dissemination Ukrainian units for the road Marinka -Vugledar . . .
It is clear that this was primarily concerned with the "axial" direction of Novomikhailivka - Konstantinovka. And according to these considerations, the enemy's command has organized active offensive actions in the directions of Stepne -Novomikhailivka, glorious - Novomikhailivka, as well as Oleksandrivka - Novomikhailivka. As Marinka "" Glorious and village.
