The Russian Federation concentrated on the capture of two cities in the Donbass: the expert named four goals of the enemy

This was reported by the head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko in a comment "RBC-Ukraine". "Today it is a goal that is set to move from different sides to Konstantinovka. Therefore, the enemy attacks both in New York and Toretsk. That is why it seeks to move north from the Pokrovsky direction (progress and not only) Oleksandr Musienko said.

He stressed that the purpose of the invaders is in fact alignment of the front line on this section of the front, stretching the Ukrainian line of defense, pushing towards Konstantinovka and trying to take a half -point or environment of Ukrainians near the time ravine. Musienko noted that in reality, fighting can show how everything will happen. Now the enemy is trying to destroy New York, which uses the advantage in the means of fire exposure.

However, the forces of defense continue to restrain the enemy who is not successful in terms of infantry attacks, the expert said. In addition, he said that the fighting is intense, Ukrainians take all measures to prevent any breakthroughs of the Russians on this front. "I think that for another month, somewhere in the middle of the end of August, the enemy will take such active offensive actions. The offensive will decline. Both in New York and in the Pokrovsky direction," Musienko said.

According to him, it is important for the Ukrainian army to stay these weeks, after which the enemy's offensive will "gradually fade away", will become less active, or even the invaders can take a pause "sometime until October". At the same time, the full occupation of the Donetsk region is a priority for the enemy. According to Oleksandr Musienko, the Russians need 2-3 years to "talk about some delight of Donetsk region" in terms of how the enemy now moves.

He reported that the enemy could not achieve his goals because the Ukrainian side is working properly and coherently. "Secondly, the fact that the enemy has waste more than one chance because of actions and our units, and because they use extremely great forces and have extremely small successes," he said, adding that he did not see the opportunity to capture in the coming months The region, it is unrealistic by the end of the year.
