The Armed Forces are moving to Pokrovsk, trying to occupy the village of Shevchenko - Deepstate (map)

The enemy advanced between the settlements of Shevchenko and the Renaissance (new labor), expanding the control area in the southern outskirts of Shevchenko village. About it reports the analytical project Deepstate. The enemy continues to charge the infantry to this area, trying to fully occupy Shevchenko, which is part of the tactical plan of promotion to Pokrovsk.

"The Donetsk Command would be more rational to treat existing resources and finally start doing something with the front area, where everything continues to fall," analysts say. In addition, the invaders also exacerbate attacks in the area of ​​Novotroitsky, where Russian troops came close to the east side.

Although it is difficult to predict the future plans of the enemy, noted in Deepstate, their strategy is obvious: control over logistics paths to Pokrovsk or at least taking them under fire control. "Most likely, the enemy, as in other areas of the front, will try to take at least fire control logistics in Pokrovsk and thus try to take possession of the city," the message reads. The invaders recently posted a video of the defeat of the FPV-arable train in the Kottle area.

This can be a signal to repeat similar tactics in other areas aimed at blocking critical routes. According to the Lieutenant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "Alex", most of Shevchenko is occupied by the Russians, and the Novotroitske was occupied completely. In the construction of the front as of 4:00 pm, the General Staff of the Armed Forces reported the preservation of high activity of the enemy in the Pokrovsky direction.

In particular, from the beginning of the day there were 29 clashes of varying intensity. 24 attacks by the Ukrainian military were repelled near Mirolyubivka, Lisovka, Ray, Dachensky, Milky and Shevchenko. We will remind, on December 8 the military observer David ex wrote that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are trying to occupy the entire Donetsk region, but the promotion goes slowly.
