Rather than Bakhmut and Avdiivka: The Russian Federation has chosen a date to capture time ravine - isw (map)

The Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky stated that the higher command of the Russian troops set out to capture the time ravine before the Victory Day on May 9. Analysts noted that this may indicate that the Russian Federation believes that occupiers will be able to occupy the city faster than Bakhmut or Avdiivka of Donetsk region.

"The Russian military command probably believes that the continued critical shortage of ammunition in Ukraine will allow the Russian forces to capture the time of the ravine in a few weeks, despite the ISW evaluation that the Russian forces have now reached only the eastern part of the channel in the far eastern time ravine. " in the message.

The ISW emphasized that the Russian command "regularly sets unrealistic goals" to promote its soldiers, while the Russian troops hope that the army will be able to enter the new neighborhood in the southeast of the settlement until May 9. In particular, the enemy will probably want to use the lack of Ukrainian artillery and air defense, which are crucial for defense. The enemy can continue the effort against the time ravine until it reaches the climax.

"Russian troops may be able to move faster than in previous efforts, given the level of current lack of Ukrainian artillery and air defense," analysts said. On April 14, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allegedly advanced to the east of the time ravine and continued the offensive in the area. According to geolocation, on April 14, the invaders advanced to the northeast of the Channel neighborhood and along the storm southeast of the city.

The fighting lasted near the mite, Andreevka, Experimental, New York. According to the spokesman of the Ukrainian group of Khortytsa Nazar Voloshin, the enemy storms the times of ravines and the surrounding areas in small assault groups almost around the clock, while the most active areas on the front are Bakhmut and Avdiivsky directions.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, as of April 14, six attacks in the Bakhmut Armed Forces were reflected in the areas of Bigorivka, Luhansk region, Verkhnyokamyansky, New, Temporal Yar, New York, Hlyshchiyivka, Donetsk region. There, the invaders tried to improve their tactical aviation support.

We will remind, the ISW analysts in the report for April 13 told that the capture of the time ravine of Donetsk region can open the enemy's possibility of offensive against cities that form the Ukrainian "defense belt" in the region. On April 12, the commander of the 414th Separate Battalion of Driplont Aviation Systems Robert Brove (Magyar) stated that the Armed Forces continue to keep defense on the eastern outskirts of the temporal ravine.
