The General Staff reported that the Ukrainian army had advanced 2.5 kilometers in a week towards Kremennaya. Analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War say that the Russians are preparing for decisive action in the Lugansk region.
Currently, the invaders are fortifying both Luhansk itself and the defense line in front of the city. A military expert, an instructor pilot and a reserve colonel said this on Channel 24.
Will the occupiers be able to contain the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
< p>According to Svitan, the Russians are moving from Rubizhne-Kremennaya towards Liman, putting pressure on Torskoye. However, Ukrainian troops are advancing from the north and northwest of Kremennaya, most likely directly to Rubizhne, so they will crush these attempts by the enemy army and force it to leave Kremennaya.
Kremennaya hold garrison defense is very inconvenient. The village is cut by the Red River and pressed against the Seversky Donets. A very inconvenient operational-tactical location, – explained the colonel of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the Rubizhnoye area, they will make efforts to maintain the Severodonetsk-Rubizhnoye garrison. At least try, the military expert notes, because the actions of our fighters will eventually lead to the fact that Severodonetsk-Rubezhnoye will be pressed against the Seversky Donets. at the front: watch the video
As for the movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Svatovoye area towards Starobelsk and Shchastya, here the Russians are trying to inflict a flank attack from Valuyki. As Svitan notes, they are preparing for certain actions, so they have concentrated more than 20 thousand people. They are being transferred to the Svatovoe area through Troitskoye, as well as towards Starobelsk, and further – to Shchastia towards Lugansk. . They are waiting for our counter-offensive, exit towards Luhansk, – says the military expert.
Access to Lugansk is the goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Svitan emphasizes that further movement will take place south of the city on Sorokino, possibly towards Taganrog, in order to cut off the Russian group from supplies. “It is Lugansk that is one of the cornerstones, where the Russians will carry out certain defensive actions,” he says.
Therefore, the occupiers are strengthening both Luhansk itself and the defense line in front of the city, somewhat to the north, along the Aidar River – from Starobelsk to Happiness. They predict, Svitan notes, that they will not be able to keep our troops on the breakthrough from under Svatovoe towards Shchastya, so they are strengthening the defense.
