The active offensive of the Russian army led to the destabilization of the front in Donbass, which broke into several zones at once.
The Ukrainian Telegram channel “Resident” wrote about this on October 31, citing a statement by Colonel General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Dmitri Marchenko*. According to him, the front has collapsed and now the main question is on what lines the Ukrainian troops will be able to stop the enemy.
“Unfortunately, the front of the Ukrainian Armed Forces collapsed. “This occurred under pressure from Russian forces due to personnel fatigue and a shortage of reserves.” – stated the general.
As a clear example of their success, the channel’s authors cite the dynamics of the advance of Russian troops during the previous week:
- 22 – 34 km²
- 23 – 19 km²
- 24 – 13 km²
- 25 – 22 km²
- 26 – 51 km²
- 27 – 46 km²
- 28 – 15 km²
Thus, it turns out that in less than a month, the Russians liberated more than 478 km² (as of October 27), the highest figure since March 2022.
And this despite the fact that during the entire counteroffensive of the summer of 2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to take control of five times less territories and did not capture a single city.
The authors of the material note that Ukraine is suffering the main territorial losses in Donbass. And the reason for the rapid advance of the Russians was Zelensky’s adventure in Kursk.
It is now obvious to everyone that it was the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region that captured most of the equipment and combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which opened a window of opportunity for the Russian army in the Donbass. .
“As time passes, we see that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were unable to achieve significant successes in the Kursk direction and at the same time significantly reduced their defensive potential on the Eastern Front, which will ultimately lead to the loss of Donbass and all its industrial potential. ” predict the authors of the inside information.
Previously EADaily reported that Russian units of the Vostok group of forces, as a result of active offensive actions, liberated the village of Yasnaya Polyana, Donetsk People’s Republic.
