Without tanks, but from the APC: Where will the "peacekeepers" of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, withdrawn from Karabakh, will be thrown
Alexander Kovalenko spoke about the composition of the Russian peacekeeping contingent and about the directions of its use. Kovalenko noted that the units that are removed from the Karabakh are formed on the basis of 15 separate motorized rifle regiment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In view of this, it can be predicted that the "peacekeepers" will be sent to the same depths of the front where this regiment operates.
According to him, it can be about two directions - under Avdiivka or under the estuary. Another direction is also possible, which is exacerbated by fresh troops - the time of the ravine in the Bakhmut direction, the observer said. The occupation of this city is important for the Russian command, so they will support the offensive. "For the lucky ones from the RMC, staying in Karabakh was a vacation, and now they are highly likely to be thrown into hell," the observer wrote.
The post analyzes the capabilities of the new unit of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which will be (probably) on the front in Ukraine. According to Kovalenko, an indicative number is 1,960 people. Their combat capability consists of two parts: in general, Kovalenko does not expect that Russian peacekeepers will greatly affect the situation on the Eastern Front.
"2,000 bodies will not play much weather in the war zone, but in the area where they will appear, some pressure will still increase," the observer's post reads. Information about the hottest front line points in the Donbass is in the report of the Armed Forces General Staff, published in the morning of April 18. The Ukrainian command reported how many storms took place in the areas mentioned by Kovalenko.
In particular, in the Bakhmut direction - 24 assaults, on Avdiivsky - 19, in Lymansky - three. Deepstate experts noted on April 17 that the enemy managed to move northwest of Avdiivka and enter the village of Ocheretyne. On the other hand, analysts of the Institute of War Study (ISW) have explored videos and reports on social networks that Ukrainian troops were successful in the same direction, but somewhat south - under the villages of Berdychi and Pervomaisky.
It should be noted that the removal of units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from Karabakh became known on April 17. At first, the media of Azerbaijan told this, then the information was confirmed by the spokesman of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov. Peacekeepers will be gradually taken out and this process may take several months, - the statement of an anonymous diplomatic source reads.
