"Flowers were planted, asphalt was changed": why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are rapidly moving under Pokrovsk

The Ukrainian command in the midst of the battle for the Donbas throws prepared crews on the assault of the Kursk region. At this time, in the Pokrovsky direction, elite and well -armed units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation go to attack. Focus found out the main reasons for the rapid promotion of the invaders in eastern Ukraine and whether it is possible to save the situation.

Settlements in the Pokrovsky direction for several weeks in a row are the most aggressive attacks of the Russian military. The invaders seek to break into Pokrovsk, one of the main cities of Donetsk region. Currently, hostile units are 10 kilometers from the target. The situation near the city is almost critical, the military observers are alarmed.

The Pokrovsky direction is protected by eight brigades of the Armed Forces: 25th, 31st, 47th, 59th, 110th and 151th mechanized, as well as 68 and 71st separate Eger brigades. But the Russians press infantry and use many drones, Hromadske reported. The co -founder of the Deepstate project Roman Pogorely speaks of complete chaos on the Pokrovskaya Front: the Armed Forces command is not able to take control of the situation.

The hostile army seized Novogrodivka, the last key height in front of Pokrovsk, and enters the industrial city of Selidovo. The forces of Ukraine's defense are opposed to elite units with excellent equipment. The Russians are equipped with night vision devices and modern firearms, ascertaining the bunny. "The situation needs to be stabilized very quickly, the enemy has huge promotion. Every day we celebrate the loss of settlements on the map," the analyst emphasizes.

The Armed Forces fighter with the call sign "flour" confirmed the advance of the Russians on the southern flank of the front and in the direction of Pokrovskaya on the road from Novogrodivka. Street fights began in Selidovo: the Russians are rushing into the city center. In addition, Russian troops control approximately 40% of the city of Yar in the Bakhmut district of Donetsk region.

The enemy can get a tactical advantage at the height of Konstantinovka, Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk and logistics paths between them, says the representative of the press service of King Danylo Andrei Polukhin. The General Staff of the Armed Forces in the morning summary on August 29 declared 66 attacks of occupiers in the Pokrovsky direction. The intensity is three times greater than in the adjacent area near the Toretsk and twice as much as under the curakhov and coledar.

After the capture of Novogrodivka, the Russians changed the vector of movement in the south of the Toretsko-Pokrovsky direction. The main destination in the near future is Selidovo, because there are no flanks of protection, the coordinator of the group "Information resistance", military expert Alexander Kovalenko said. The Pokrovskaya Front is one of the responsibility of the 90th Guards Tank and the 27th Motorized Rifle Division.

The military forces will try to control the road from Karlovka to Selidovoy, says the analyst of Focus. "Karlovka performs a defensive function for several months thanks to the Karlovsky reservoir, a natural obstacle. The Russians can bypass Karlovka through the settlements of Mikhailivka and memory and reach the Minek. This will become their main task for about two months, "Kovalenko comments.

The forces of Ukraine's defense control Selidovo and before its loss of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are unlikely to begin the main phase of the offensive on Pokrovsk. In the near future it is necessary to expect a breakthrough beyond Grodivka and Novogrodivka. On August 28, People's Deputy Mariana Bezugla suggested that the possible cause of territorial losses in the Pokrovsky direction was the alleged absence of Ukrainian military on the constructed fortifications.

"The 31st brigade was taken to the city, and the combrigere, for which the collective asked, removed and brought criminal proceedings. Instead, they sent an uninitiated unit here. This is not the only recent" rotation. " According to the military analyst of Ivan Stupak, insufficient provision of units of the Armed Forces with weapons and ammunition is not a major factor in the promotion of the Russian Army in eastern Ukraine.

The priorities in the decisions of the authorities, as the expert evaluate, are quite strange. Three months ago, the Ukrainian military was alarmed: it is necessary to build defense structures urgently, and officials were engaged in landscaping: they planted flowers and changed asphalt on the roads. Now we have to evacuate the population and export banks from Pokrovsk. "It seemed that the Russians far and fortifications seemed optional. It is better to spray local budgets for the last time.

No one would check for what goals were purchased, because the city would be in occupation or destroyed," he explains Focus. Another reason for failures is the consumption of resources for surgery in the Kursk region and as a result, a very dubious result. Throwing the most prepared forces into the new direction, Donbas remained unprotected. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation now "cut" Ukrainian defense into two parts, the expert continues.

"They are coming under the conventional lines" North "and" South ", it is a classic of martial arts. Without the Pokrovsk Armed Forces, they will be able to establish logistics for time ravine, but how stable it will be? After rating for the near future, we can say: if the Russians are occupied by Pokrovsk, they will get access to the borders of Dnipropetrovsk region and a chance to move north to Kramatorsk.

We will remind, in the village of Oleksiyevo-Druzhkivka, next to the temporal ravine decided to allocate money for construction of the road, the second main way to the city of Konstantinovka. The Prozorro website earlier announced a tender for repair of the road 16 Druzhkivka and the village of Oleksiyevo-Druzhkivka for almost 12 million hryvnias. Focus earlier wrote what a dangerous exit of Russian troops to the administrative borders of Donetsk region.
