According to analysts, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation captured Victory, a small village southwest of Donetsk, no later than February 21. Geolocation, published on the same day, shows how Russian troops raise the flag on the destroyed building in the settlement.
Russian Milblogrants argued that the Ukrainian forces went to positions on the hills west of Victory and that Russian troops can decide to attack in the direction of Konstantinovka (a village 6 km southwest of Victory) or in the direction of St. ) on the H-15 highway.
Experts say that by capturing the victory, the Russian troops cut the O0532 route, which comes from the recently captured Marinka (directly west of Donetsk) through Victory in the direction of Konstantinovka and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can try to move in the direction of Konstantinovka on this track.
Some Russian milblogists also argued that the capture of Victory would allow Russian troops to continue offensive operations in the coal or intercepting Ukrainian land lines (GLOC) leading to the coal. Ukrainian officials are not commenting on the capture of Russian troops at the moment.
Analysts add that Russian milblogists also argued that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had advanced to the southern outskirts of Krasnogorivka (directly west of Donetsk), but in ISW did not find evidence that would confirm it. The Institute of War Study says that positional fighting lasted west of Donetsk near St. George and southwest of Donetsk in the area of Poida and Novomikhailivka.
