A Ukrainian military official said today, Wednesday, that Russia penetrated near two major towns in the way to supply the army in eastern Ukraine, as part of efforts Moscow To make great progress in an attack for weeks, at a time when US support is prevalent in Kiev.
During the past few weeks, Russia has begun to mobilize its forces, and despite the heavy losses it incurred, it managed to advance in rural areas on both sides of the towns of Boukerrovsk and Costynetinverfka, which are located at a crossroads that leads to the line of confrontation from the major cities in the lands under Ukrainian control.
The progress made by Russia on the front coincides with the intensification of attacks by running aircraft and missiles on Kiev and other cities, following the emergence of indicators of Washington’s decline in the war effort in Ukraine.
The entire occupation of the Donetsk region is among the goals of the Russian attack, where Victor Terubov, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Jattesia forces group, said they are now using small offensive groups and light vehicles And aircraft are running To advance towards the vicinity.
“There are ongoing attacks with the aim of penetrating” the borders of the Dniprobetrovsk area at any cost.
The Ukrainian army commander Olksander Serski said, last week, that Russia She now has 111,000 soldiers in the city of Boucrovsk, which has been trying to control since early last year, pointing to the outbreak of dozens of battles in the region daily.
Russian gains
Jacques Watling, a prominent researcher at the Royal Institute of United Services, a London -based research center, reported that Washington’s decision to stop delivering some various weapons including micro -missile artillery to Kiev would exacerbate the situation on the ground for Ukrainian forces.
“The loss of these supplies will significantly affect Ukraine’s ability to target the Russian forces at a distance of 30 km from the confrontation line, and thus will allow Russia to strengthen its military position in a logistical point of view,” he added.
The Russian forces, which have a numerical superiority, have cut off the main road linking Boucrovsk and Costiannevka in May, which led to the Ukrainian forces confronting difficulties in the movement and the return of re -supply.
“The Russian progress is contained, but the Boucrovsk Kostantinvka’s fast road is cut off,” Trebovov said.
The large Russian losses prevented the Russians’ progress towards Costiannevka via Chasif Yar or along the Western Bokrovsk front.
“They are now trying away from the populated areas,” Trebov added, explaining that Boucrovsk and Costynetenevka are still two Ukrainian logistical centers, despite relapses and the activity of the drones that make some defensive fortifications less effective.
