Press regardless of losses: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are looking for weaknesses in the defense of the Armed Forces in the Donbass - NYT (map)

Russian invaders first find the places and units of Ukrainian defenders, who, in their opinion, can be weakened, writing journalists. After that, the enemy's staff begins attempting to assault using different weapons and armored vehicles. Russian invaders continue attempting to pressure Ukrainian defenders across the front line, in particular in the Donbass. The enemy is currently trying to find weaknesses in the defense of the Armed Forces. This is stated in The New York Times.

Over the last week, according to the article, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been able to achieve some success in the Donetsk region and thereby approach the city of Pokrovsk, which is one of the main defensive strongholds of Ukrainian defenders in this part of the front. Such progress, writes by journalists, contrasts sharply with the past slow achievements of the Russians, whom they managed to achieve this year.

"Military analysts say that rapid successes reflect Moscow's improved ability to use cracks in Ukrainian defense lines, which have been weakened by lack of labor and tense Russian attacks along the front," the statement said. In addition, in the last few months, the enemy has been increasingly focused on trying to find as much weaknesses as possible in Ukrainian positions.

After that, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation went to attack and threw dozens of people and armored vehicles on the battlefield. The military analyst of the National Institute for Strategic Studies of Ukraine Mykola Beleskov stated that the Russians are exploring lines to see whether Ukrainian defenders keep these places or retreat. "As soon as they find weakened battalions and brigades, they press on them, regardless of losses," Mykola Beleskov said.

As an example, the authors of the material are given by the settlement of progress in Donetsk region, which was able to capture the Russian invaders. The Armed Forces fighters, according to the message, were threatened with the enemy, so they were forced to retreat. The New York Times recall the words of the battalion commander 47 Magura Ombre Alexander Shirshin, whom he said in a comment to "Public".

According to him, the Armed Forces fighters at one point were almost in the ring on all sides in the village of Progress. "When such a situation and we were sent for stabilization, I think it was a completely wrong step. That is, we had to make maneuver defense, just give that progress, become another border and fix yourself. We had a time for that time," - Oleksandr Shirshin said. In addition, a military analyst from Austria Franz-Stefan Gady said that rotations are the most dangerous moment.

The drones, which are constantly present on the battlefield, have only complicated this process, in particular for Ukraine, whose defensive lines seem to be too thin due to the shortage of personnel. At the same time, Mykola Beleskov stated that the Russian achievements, despite the actions of the enemy, could not lead to a "great breakthrough" in the Donetsk region and thus get closer to the full capture of the region, which is the key purpose of the Kremlin.

In this case, the assaults of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can threaten the defensive zone of Ukraine in the Donbass. We will remind, on July 19 a spokesman of the operational-strategic group of Khortytsa troops Nazar Voloshin informed that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are pressed on the positions of defense forces in the Pokrovsky direction. According to him, the invaders reduced the offensive potential, but the situation is difficult.

On July 27, it was reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation improved tactics and moving in the Donbass, which they wrote the Washington Post. Some of the most intense battles take place around Toretsk. According to the Armed Forces fighters, the invaders seem to use the same strategy that was applied in the capture of Avdiivka. There, the Russians surrounded the Ukrainians on three sides, while at the same time depleting them with continuous discharge of glider bombs from above.
