The Russian Federation attacks several directions in the Donbass: what is the purpose of the enemy

Military correspondent Bogdan Miroshnikov noted that nowadays it is very difficult in Toretsk, as in the time ravine. In particular, Toretsk is another flank of Konstantinovka. "But I do not have a response from the point of view of the enemy's logic, when they are still actively attacked in Kurakhiv, Pokrovsky and Velikovosilkivskyi. According to him, the enemy probably decided to put everything on everything now. However, sooner or later he will have to choose a priority one direction.

He emphasized that such offensive operations are not very logical in almost all sections of the front, as it is more like "a manic desire to develop success against the background of a 13-month-off offensive campaign. " Former spokesman of the Armed Forces General Staff, military expert Vladislav Seleznev told Focus that a difficult situation in Toretsk. In particular, the fighting goes to the most farm, in fact, in the center in the high -rise area.

"The enemy constantly presses, literally for every house there are combat pads," Seleznyov said. He noted that there is a problem in Toretsk in the area of ​​the threat to the Ukrainian rear units because the opponent has the advance of the south of the time ravine.

"On the one hand, the enemy attacks literally us in the forehead, keeps meat storms in Toretsk, and on the other - there is a situation of a serious threat to our rear units, which are directly in the Toretsk itself," the former spokesman of the General Staff explained. According to Seleznov, the enemy begins to bypass the time of the ravine in the area of ​​Kingyshivka and Andreevka, forgives the Ukrainian defense borders.

As a result, if the Russians draw the vector of their efforts a little left, then the units that defend the Toretsk can also feel the pressure from the rear. The Armed Forces Reserve Officer, Military Expert Andriy Kramarov confirmed that a difficult situation in the area of ​​Toretsk. "This is explained by the fights that happen in Toretsk, because there is still an industrial, and now tries to take the enemy.

Plus there is a risk that there are certain successes in the time Yar that the enemy can transform into success in successes into successes. Konstantinovtsi, and then our group, which is located there, can be in an operational environment, " - explained the focus of Kramarov. Vladislav Seleznev said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation wanted to capture the whole Donetsk region, which is why they began the so -called "their".

Therefore, Toretsk for the enemy is only one of the episodes, it is interested in all the territories that are in the administrative borders of Donetsk region. Kramarov is convinced that Toretsk is the goal of the enemy, because it is a large agglomeration, in which it is possible to be fixed. In particular, without Toretsk it is impossible to continue movement on Konstantinovka.

"In principle, I understand, by the Russians by the end of the year the task is maximum for themselves - it is to occupy the time of Yar, Toretsk, Konstantinovka and Pokrovsk," Kramarov said, adding that this will continue to move to the full occupation of Donetsk region. According to the Major of the Armed Forces and the military analyst Alexei Hetman, if the enemy also conducts the frontal assaults in Toretsk, they do not bring success. In addition, Toretsk is the northern flank of Pokrovskaya.

"The Russians need Pokrovsk. They are trying to surround it. This is quite clear tactics of any army-not to beat some relatively large settlements in the forehead, because the fighting in the city can last for months," Focus Hetman said. He said that the fighting in cities goes on three levels - on asphalt, floors and underground communications. Therefore, you can tie there for a long time.

Instead, the settlement can be surrounded, given the opportunity to bring a garrison that is in the city, everything necessary for fighting - ammunition, medicines, food, small rotations, pick up the wounded, etc. "If it is impossible to do this, any garrison in the environment or in a half-point can not stay, and he will have to depart. Therefore, you can save a large amount of living force, technique and time than just in the forehead storming some city.

Pokrovsky direction It remains the most active for the attacks of the Russians, "the hetman added. We will remind, on November 15 the spokeswoman of OTT Lugansk Anastasia Bobovnikova said that active city battles continue in Toretsk. According to her, the enemy penetrated the settlement with small assault groups. On November 19, DeepState analysts reported the promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near a number of settlements in the Donbass.
