To capture Konstantinovka, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk: what does "peace plan" in the Russian version
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the hottest situation is in the Pokrovsky, Lyman, and Toretsky directions. The Russians will try to enter the administrative border of Donetsk region before the peace talks and take control of key industrial cities that remain under the control of the Armed Forces. The purpose of pressure from the time ravine, actually already captured by the enemy, is to enter Konstantinovka. Yar times are of key importance for both sides of the war.
The city is at dominant altitudes. Control over dominant heights makes it possible to keep large areas of Donetsk region under fire, both occupied and controlled by Ukraine. The Yar's time also covers the further promotion of the Russians deep into the Ukrainian territories. The city is in fact the key to Konstantinovka, Druzhkivka, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk. In addition, the ravine stands at the crossroads of the main highways.
At the same time, in the case of pressure in the Toretsky direction (the Toretsk -Konstantinovka route), in fact, it is about the flank coverage of the Armed Forces positions. The activation of Russians in the Toretsky direction is not accidental. Toretsk is about 10 km from the occupied Gorlovka. Toretsk - at dominant altitudes, as well as the time of the ravine.
This means that the control of Toretsk allows the Armed Forces to keep under fire control Gorlovsky agglomeration, which is the operational rear of the Armed Forces of Russia. The city is also important because it is a logistics center for Ukrainian defenders. That is why the fighting in this direction and the possible occupation of the city will give some advantages-such as the possibility of a flank blow to the positions of the Armed Forces in Kramatorsk.
It will also allow you to control logistics routes that connect the operational rear of the Armed Forces to the war zone. Fighting for Toretsk has been underway for 8 months, which allows to raise significant groups of Russian troops and delay them from other directions of the Russian offensive. It is a strategic time for Russia, because their strength is forced to carry out unnecessary concentration in the area, in this way, reducing the pressure on other fronts.
The sharp activation of the invaders in the Kupyansk direction is not aimed at the occupation of the city, as the promotion along the Oscol to the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration. In addition, just two days ago the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were intensified in the estuary, where they have a shock fist to reach the same agglomeration.
Slavyansk is interested in the Russian Federation not only in the military sense, but also economic, because it is about the largest deposits of shale gas in Europe. Before the war with Russia, they had to develop American companies, but then an attack occurred. Do you think accident? No! The issues of Ukraine's energy independence were blocked. Accordingly, the occupiers will now make every effort so that these shale gas deposits do not go under the control of the United States.
In the Liman direction now the most difficult situation is due to the redeployment of operational reserves of Russian troops. In particular, it is about the overturning of units of the 3rd and 144th Motorized Rifle Divisions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In addition, the units of the 90th Tank Division of the enemy are concentrated here. Severe battles are conducted in the area of the village of Bigorivka, Luhansk region.
The Russians control the dominant heights in the area of the settlement, which allows them to influence the nature of offensive actions near the Serebryansky Forestry. In the Liman direction during the last day, the enemy attacked 20 times in the areas of Novoyogorovka, Novolyubivka, Greekivka, Novy, Katerynivka and in the direction of the Green Valley. Ukrainian warriors stopped 15 invaders, and five more fights are ongoing.
In the Kharkiv region there was a sharp aggravation of the situation in the Kupyansk direction, in particular in the area of the village of two -year. The sharp activation of the fighting of the Russian invaders was recorded by redeploying operational reserves from the Kursk direction. In the Vovchansk direction, the enemy tries to use the combined nature of the attacks of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Russians seek to capture the Kupyansk-nodal railway station in Kharkiv in Kharkiv with the purpose of further offensive from the north to the cities of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk of Donetsk region. The Pokrovsky direction remains the most difficult for the Armed Forces because of the most intensive actions of Russian troops. At present, the occupiers are trying to break into the Pokrovsk - Konstantinovka highway and take control, but have no success.
There is no threat to the environment of Pokrovsk. There is no threat of breakthrough to the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk region. According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, daily losses of occupation troops in the Pokrovsky direction are from 300 to 500 people. During the month of advancement, the invaders lost at least 10 to 15 thousand people by 1. 5 km.
Moreover, for the whole period of fighting on this section of the front, according to GUR, the losses of the invaders amounted to 150 thousand people, the losses of armored vehicles - 1800 units. According to available information, the loss of occupiers in the direction of the last day is 292 persons killed and injured; In addition, one MTLB tractor, four cars, four motorcycles, two satellite terminals and four UAV management points were destroyed.
Pokrovsk is a strategically important city because of its role as a supply unit, it stands at the intersection of many transport highways, one of which leads to key cities of Donetsk region, including Temporary Yar and Konstantinovka, and contains a regional railway station. Thanks to the strategic location, such admiration would allow you to move to the Dnieper and Zaporozhye. Russia has both a military and economic goal in the capture of the city.
The fact is that Pokrovsk is a large transport knot that gives the opportunity to control the locations of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, in addition, the capture of the city actually resolves the issue of occupation of the western regions of Donetsk region.
After the capture of the carbon, the pressure of the invaders was no accident in Kurakhiv and Pokrovsky directions, since the main task of the occupiers is to enter the administrative border of the Donetsk region, respectively, to the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Currently, the occupiers are using a constant practice - the flank coverage of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to take either fire or direct control of the Armed Forces location, which will allow to prevent, minimize rotation, transportation of BC, export of the wounded. This practice has been applied since 2022. This is their tactics, the so -called tactics of small boilers, flanking.
Such tactics enables the occupiers to avoid battles in urban development, which they are panicked, because accordingly the loss factor of 1 to 5 compared to the party leading to active defense. According to GUR MOU, the main threat is concentrated in Donetsk region. In particular, in the Kramatorsk, Slavyansk and Pokrovsk region.
"Even after the plans of the Russian Federation become known and they realize that they will no longer be able to conduct a particular operation - it does not mean that they refuse to conduct such an operation. They carry out regrouping, other preparatory measures, troops begin to engage in combat preparation, preparation for the implementation of the plans. realization, " - said the representative of the Ukrainian intelligence.
