"Attach special importance": the Russian Federation defends Tokmak not to lose the corridor to the Crimea - the expert
According to him, Tokmak for the enemy's army became a logistics hub, because there is a railway branch that is part of the land corridor to the occupied Crimea. Accordingly, the plans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation maintain full control over this direction, despite the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces.
At the same time, collaborators, their associates and representatives of the occupying "administration" began to leave the city along with important documentation, albeit before the "goodwill gesture" is still far. "So far, the military stays there, reinforcements are being thrown there. The enemy is not going to take a Tokmak. Obviously, it is simply a preventive measure, in no other way to call it. Army.
When we release Tokmak, we can expect that the railway part of this land connection with Crimea will be intercepted, "Denis Popovich said. Separately, the military observer noted that the de -occupation of Tokmak will not mean that the Armed Forces have cut the entire land corridor from the Crimea, because there are several roads at the disposal of the enemy, which in the future should be released by Ukrainian defenders.
For example, it is a seaside route that goes from Mariupol to Berdyansk, then to Melitopol, through Primorsk. "It can also ship all the necessary equipment for the occupation group in the south. But the railways, once again I repeat, the Russians attach special importance. This is, in my opinion, the importance of Tokmak as a logistics hub," Denis Popovich summed up.
