The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation turned Tokmak into a logistics knot and ready to fight for it to the last - expert

According to Alexei Hetman, the task of defense forces is to reach the Azov Sea in the near future. This would help cut a land corridor for the enemy. Russian invaders can be ready to take seriously Tokmak in the Zaporozhye region and there are some reasons. Military experts Alexei Hetman and Vladislav Seleznev told this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine on August 28. According to them, this settlement became a large logistics node for the enemy, so they intend to fight the city until the last.

There are various fortifications with anti -tank ditches. "Because further Melitopol, if you look at the cards, there is almost no fortifications behind Tokmak, only checkpoints to Melitopol and the coast. It is no secret that our task is to go to the Azov Sea. And if we do not have time to do it for the rainy season, then though B by 15-20 kilometers to the shore to take under fire control all that Russians can move from the mainland to the Crimea and vice versa, "-said Alexei Hetman.

After the release of Melitopol, the Ukrainian forces will be able to cut the land corridor to the Crimea and thus cut the captured settlements in the southern direction. But Vladislav Seleznyov is in no hurry to draw conclusions about Tokmak, because this direction cannot be called strategic. According to him, the Ukrainian army occurs in those areas of the front where possible, so it is impossible to say with certainty that the main forces are involved in the direction of Tokmak.

"Only the General Staff knows the final plan to what purpose we will move and how we will act. Therefore, it is clear that the direction of Tokmak is strategic is not worth it," the message reads. We will remind, on August 29 it was reported that in the Russian Federation there are practically no chance to restore their offensive due to lack of infantry.
