The movement of Russian troops on the Donetsk front suggests that they are ready to attack. The invaders will start moving forward and attempting to storm immediately after Christmas.
This was told to Channel 24 by a military expert, instructor pilot and colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the reserve Roman Svitan. Meanwhile, the Russians demonstrated their “Christmas truce”, the invaders once again cynically fired at Kurakhovo.
Movement of Russian troops
Svitan noted that any movement of Russian troops would be destroyed. We perfectly see them at a depth of 50-70 kilometers, their movement, their dispersal. They are now dispersed approximately to a divisional depth.
Mostly in villages in the south of Donetsk in Mariupol. From Mariupol to Gulyaipol. Under Ugledar, the dispersal of troops is very large. Now they are starting to move, that is, they are preparing to switch to local offensives after January 7-8,” the military expert noted.
Locations to attack
He continued that it is perfectly visible in the area of Ugledar. This will be one of the moments, because then the PMC of the Minister of Defense himself also pulled himself up. It was the attack aircraft that were deployed there. They will carry out assault missions. There is also a certain redeployment in the Soledar area, north of Bakhmut.
“They are preparing for a certain breakthrough north of Soledar. We see an increase in the density of troops, preparations for certain offensive actions in the Kremennaya area – towards Liman. As well as Svatovo, and from Valuyki there is a certain flow of troops, and from under Troitsky towards Kupyansk”, – emphasized the pilot-instructor.
