The threat has increased: the expert explained why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation needed Toretsk in Donetsk region

The ruling heights on this section of the front are controlled by Ukrainian troops, who do their best to block the enemy and not allow him to move, says Alexander Musienko. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation try to align their offensive line in the Donetsk region and attack the flanks to block Ukrainian logistics. Because of this, the threat to the city of Toretsk has increased. Oleksandr Musienko, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, said this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.

"The invaders have come to noises, and this settlement, which is now now located in the lowlands to our positions. Accordingly, the dominant heights are controlled by Ukrainian troops, which do their best to block the enemy and not let him move," - says Musienko. He added that additional Ukrainian forces could be transferred to this direction, and in addition to the defense forces, the situation with the supply of ammunition from Western partners improved.

"Therefore, I think that our forces will be concentrated on causing maximum losses to the occupiers, slowing down their operations in order not to let them go to Toretsk or advance. Oleksandr Musienko does not exclude that due to the activation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the area of ​​Toretsk there will be a threat to the mite. The Russians seek to develop flank attacks around the settlement. "Because from the northern flank, Russian troops come to the tick.

I think they will also strive from the southern flank to develop an offensive towards the tick. But only from the south to displace our group from this settlement and align the front in the area of ​​time. And also for the purpose of advance in the area of ​​Toretsk.
