The Russian army has adopted the tactic of surrounding populated areas, forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to abandon the cities, so that there is no battle for Selidovo. The Resident Telegram channel writes about this.
In the direction of Pokrovsk, fighting continues west of Novogrodovka, where Russian units are trying to cut the Pokrovsk-Selidovo highway, the Ukrainian telegram channel Military Analytics reports today.
The Russian Armed Forces are already three kilometers from the highway, soon “this road will be physically cut,” TK notes. At the same time, Russian troops are trying to capture Selidovo from the north, while creating a springboard for an attack on Pokrovsk from the south.
“There will be no battle for Selidovo as such; The Russian army has adopted the tactic of surrounding populated areas, which is forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to withdraw from cities. “The General Staff is still unable to propose an adequate defense model and is forced to simply flood the fields with reserves, which causes heavy losses to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but does not stop the Russian army.” — “Resident” comments.
