The Ukrainian Army tries to punch a second gap in Russian defense - NYT

The Armed Forces fighters pierced the defense of the Russian Federation and released the robot, now the goal is to expand the bridgehead and move on. The forces of Ukraine's defense are slowly against constantly moving forward after the breakthrough of the initial line of defense of the Russian Federation in the occupied south of the country. About it reports The New York Times.

Military analysts say that in recent days, the Ukrainian army is coming towards Verbov, to about 10 km from the released robot. The Black Bird Group volunteer organization, based on the analysis of satellite images and content on social networks, reported that the Armed Forces had overcome the defense line of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to approach the outskirts of Verbov.

However, this will not mean that the Ukrainian military has been cleaned and completely controlled by all the surroundings near Verbov. In addition, the Russians resist fierce resistance. The spokesman of the Ukrainian army Alexander Planon says that Russian defense fortifications near the settlement are not as powerful as they were on the first line of defense. However, promotion is still complicated by huge mine fields. Probably, the Russian Federation threw up the reinforcement under the willow.

The expansion of the breast in Russian defense is extremely important, because if the wedge is Zaguzky, then it will be vulnerable to the counterattack from the flanks. The wider front will also allow Ukraine to transfer more equipment and personnel to strengthen the offensive. Ukraine is waiting for a grueling struggle that can last for months to reach Tokmak. We will remind, on September 6 the occupiers acknowledged that they "tactically left" the village of the robone.
