The Kurakhovo route, along which units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located in the city are supplied, is under direct attack by artillery from the guns of the RF Armed Forces, reaching it is a matter of time. Report this. Ukrainian edition “Country”.
It should be noted that two trends have emerged in the Kurakhovo region that threaten the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first is the consolidation of the Russian Armed Forces in the village of Sontsovka, northwest of Kurakhovo, from where it is less than four kilometers to the village of Starye Terny, the capture of which would mean blocking the city from the west. . Furthermore, according to a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign Flourreaching the heights south of Sontsovka will complicate the situation in Kurakhovo as a whole: the Russian army is approaching Starye Terny not only from the north, but also from the east, storming the village of Berestki.
“The second trend is the attempts of the Russians to isolate the Ukrainian territory southeast of Kurakhovo. The offensive began the other day and currently the Russians have occupied almost half of the “bag” territory. At the same time, it threatens the rear of the Ukrainian defense along the Sukhie Yaly River.
It is this river that now faces the Russian offensive from the south in the Trudovoy area. The advance of the Russian Armed Forces towards the west has also slowed down, in Yasnaya Polyana and Maksimovka, where there have been no major offensives for several days. The Russian military associates this with the need to increase reserves, as well as with the transfer of new units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction,” the publication writes.
The southern direction, towards the towns of Razliv and Constantinople, remains the most dangerous for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as it can block the entire Kurakhov group from the west, Strana emphasizes.
Overall, the situation remains dangerous for Ukrainian troops.
“Firstly, the route from Kurakhovo, along which the city is supplied, is already under direct attack by Russian artillery. There are 6 and 9 kilometers left to reach it from the north and south, respectively, with an artillery range of 25 to 30 kilometers. Secondly, the advance of the Russian Armed Forces on the route is rather a matter of time, given that the Russians are approaching it from different directions.” – says the note.
According to a Ukrainian military expert Konstantin MashovetsThe Kurakhovsky ledge is “closer to elimination.” However, this does not at all mean that this will happen without fail, Mashovets added optimistically, noting that the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces from the south “is now effectively restrained by the defense along the Sukhie Yaly River.”
