What will save Pokrovsk: the Russian Federation wanted to arrange a "second Mariupol", - analyst (video)

The Russians would like to surround a large grouping of the Defense Forces in Pokrovsk, Pavlo Lakiychuk, head of security programs at the Center for Global Studies Strategy XXI, explained to NV media. This plan failed due to the actions of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who cut off the breakthrough of the Russian Armed Forces on Dobropill. Since it is much more difficult to regain positions than to defend, the SOU command sent new units to help.

According to the analyst, two factors can improve the situation. The first is the high level of training of these units, the second is that the "Birds of Magyar" drones should prove to be better than the Russians' drones.

Lakiychuk noted that in Pokrovsk, the Russians used the "infiltration" tactic, and because of that the city was not even in the "gray zone", but turned into a "stitch" - a confusion of the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Since such tactics can be attributed to the methods of special forces, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sent SSO and GUR fighters in response.

"The fate of Pokrovsk depends on two factors: the level of training of the units and whose drones - our Magyar birds or theirs - will turn out to be better," he said. According to analysts, the Defense Forces should inflict maximum losses on the Russian Armed Forces near Pokrovsk. If this happens, the enemy will have less ability to advance on other parts of the front - on Konstantinovka or Druzhkivka.

"This is not only a military issue, but also a matter of personal prestige for Gerasimov and Putin," Lakiychuk emphasized. Analysts of the DeepState project updated the battle line in Pokrovsk on November 1-2. New red zones have appeared on the project map, which means that the Russians are no longer just fixed there, but have become entrenched. It is about the further advance of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation southwest of the city between Pershi Travnia and Kotlyn.

A new kilometer-long protrusion appeared in the direction of the E50 highway and on the outskirts near the city cemetery, analysts showed. The distance between the outer protrusions that cover the Pokrovsk-Myrnograd agglomeration is about 11 km along the "red" zone and about 3-6 km along the "gray". It should be noted that on October 31, Focus on the battles in Pokrovsk and the nature of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces inside the city.

As the DeepState analyst explained, Russians are recorded throughout the settlement and therefore the territory is marked "grey" on the map. This color means that the enemy has been spotted, but has not yet taken hold. As of October 31, the Russians were entrenched on two streets on the outskirts of Pokrovsk: on November 2, the "red" zone expanded. Meanwhile, photos of the landing of Ukrainian special forces in Pokrovsk appeared on the Internet.
