This was reported by the spokesman of the "Khortytsia" OSU, Nazar Voloshyn. According to the spokesman, who refers to intelligence data, the Russians are trying to replenish their ranks and are recruiting new military units. "For example, in one of the directions he pulled his units to another direction. That is, the enemy concentrates different numbers of his personnel in different directions," Voloshyn says. In particular, the spokesman added, in the area of ​​Chasovoy Yar, the enemy concentrated a group of about 20-25 thousand military personnel. THE SITUATION IN THE CHASOVOYARSK DIRECTION The Russian army continues to storm the outskirts of Chasovoy Yar in the Donetsk direction. Currently, there is a great struggle between the Defense Forces and the army of the Russian Federation for the control of logistics routes. The Russian army is trying to bypass the outskirts of Chasovoy Yar near Bohdanivka and Ivanivskyi in order to bypass the city in a circle. Defense forces repulse enemy attacks. Earlier it was reported that the Russian army is trying to bypass Chasiv Yar on the flanks through other settlements and has now begun to storm Andriivka and Klishchiivka, west of Bakhmut. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that the higher Russian military leadership had set the task for its troops to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9. In order to capture Chasiv Yar in Donetsk region, the Russian army began to use tactics that were used during the offensive in Avdievka. The enemy drops aerial bombs on the city. More from lb.ua Over the past week, the situation in the Donetsk direction has worsened, — Defense Forces The hottest sections of the front remain the Avidiivskyi, Novopavlivskyi and Bakhmutskyi directions. by Ivanna Kapustyanska Over the last week, the situation on three fronts has escalated. In particular, the situation remains difficult in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka regions. This was stated by the spokesman of the "Khortytsia" OSUV, Nazar Voloshyn, on the air of the telethon, writes RBC-Ukraine. The "hottest" directions are Bakhmutskyi, Avdiivskyi, Novopavlivskyi. The situation has worsened over the last week. Heavy fighting continues, but the situation is under the control of the Armed Forces," Voloshyn said. The enemy concentrated its efforts on these three directions in order to break through the defense of the Armed Forces, creating a certain advantage in forces and means. "The enemy is also attacking along the entire front line, and has tactical success in some directions. But recently, a dynamic change in the situation has been taking place," the spokesman added. At the same time, the Russian army does not stop trying to storm the positions of the Armed Forces using various types of weapons - artillery, tanks, drones and aviation. Even more from lb.ua Russian army advanced to the northwest of Avdiyivka after the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from this area, — ISW At the same time, the final goal of the occupiers is unclear. by Ivanna Kapustyanska, author of news On the night of May 3-4, the Russian army tactically advanced to the northwest of Avdiivka near the village of Arkhangelske after the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated from their positions in the area. It is likely that the Ukrainian army is trying to trade space until Western aid arrives, the ISW report said. In particular, analysts refer to a video released by a Russian military blogger, where fighters of the Russian "Lavina" battalion of the 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade raise the flag in the village of Arkhangelsk. ISW notes that additional geo-location footage released to the public indicates that Russian troops have advanced on the eastern edge of Arkhangelsk. ISW analysts note that the capture of Arkhangelsk by the occupiers also indicates that the Russian army is likely to control the villages of Keramik and Novokalynove, southeast of Arkhangelsk. "The Armed Forces probably decided to exchange space for time, waiting for the delivery of large-scale aid from the United States to the front in the coming weeks - this is a solution for under-resourced forces that can surround from the flank. And the Russian army is trying to "buy time" before the arrival of Western military aid, activating offensive operations, and may take further tactical steps in the area in the near future," the ISW report said. Western analysts are convinced that Russian troops decided to take advantage of the tactical situation northwest of Avdiivka. In their opinion, this is a smart military decision, but the ultimate goal of the invaders on this part of the front remains unclear. ISW notes that it is unclear whether they will continue to move north to Toretsk or return to their previous focus on Pokrovsk in the northwest, ISW stressed. It is noted that Russian troops have transferred approximately four brigades of the Central Military District to the front line northwest of Avdiivka and continue to transfer additional forces to the area. |
