"Light": Forbes told how the Armed Forces were captured by reeds and who is guilty of failure

The Ukrainian military holds positions in the western reeds and have fire control over the southern part. Journalists noted that in the west from Avdiivka in the Armed Forces there were not enough reserves. The armed forces of the Russian Federation seized the village of Ocheretyne of Donetsk region. Forbes noted that it was the "fastest" penetration of the invaders in recent months and may threaten the destruction of Ukrainian defense in the west from Avdiivka.

In the media, they told that the fighters of the 100th separate mechanized brigade were thrown into this direction, which is "one of the most recent and least equipped brigades" in the Armed Forces. Instead, a 47th brigade had previously stood on the eastern outskirts of the reeds, which executed the order to leave the settlement to relocate to the rear for rest. The 115th Motorized Rifle Brigade had to come to her place. However, "something went wrong.

" The publication quotes the former commander of the 4th company of the 47th brigade, who said "individual units just roared. " "The inability of the 115th Mechanized Brigade to keep the border actually invited the Russian 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade to the reed-and caused a panic reaction at the Ukrainian headquarters," the message reads. Forbes noted that the 47th brigades were ordered to turn around and return to the front, and the 100th brigade-to counter.

In particular, it is a former territorial brigade that was upgraded to the mechanized in March. About two thousand of its fighters have been repeatedly participated in hostilities, but the brigade lacks heavy equipment of Western production, combat vehicles, artillery. The brigade managed to stop trying to promote the enemy towards the village of Progress.

The Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies stressed that the Armed Forces hold positions in the western part of the reeds and control the southern part. "The fact that Ukrainians had to fight a relatively weak brigade, talks about a lack of Ukrainian reserves in the west from Avdiivka. The Russians, for their part, keep a whole tank division around Avdiivka," the 90th, "the journalists said.

If the 90th Tank Division of the Russian Federation can enter the reed before the Armed Forces command mobilizes additional reinforcements, hostile penetration can expand to a full breakthrough, which can cause Ukrainians to be released west to the next line of defense. We will remind, on April 24 the head of the local city military administration Mykola Kovalenko informed that fighting began in the Ocheretyn Donetsk region.
