Control of Kurakhov and Pokrovsky direction: Named the goals of the Armed Forces after the occupation of the coal
On October 2, the Ukrainian military command officially confirmed the withdrawal of combat units from the coal because of the threat of the surroundings by the Russian military. An important point of defense in the chain "Toretsk-New York-Avdiivka-Marinka-Greater Novosilka" was lost. The army of the Russian Federation tried to capture the coal from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, but each time the attacks turned major losses.
A sharp change in the front situation in the Donbass took place in late summer-early fall of 2024: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation captured New York, quickly began to move to Pokrovsk, storm the time of Yar and Toretsk. The enemy's offensive on the coal was synchronous with pressure in the Kurakhovo-Pokrovsky direction. According to Russian militarians, all this is part of the plan to enter the rear of the main lines of defense of the Armed Forces southwest of Donetsk.
An attempt is traced to "take a large section of the front in the boiler, stepping along the Line of Pokrovsk-Selidov and from the south from the coal or the Great Novosilka-west of Kurakhov. The occupation of the coal will facilitate the general plan of the battle in the Donbass: to force the Armed Forces to retreat to the border of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhya regions, the propagandists say. It is difficult to make accurate predictions of further advance of Russia.
The key to Kurakhov was the key to Kurakhov's way to Kurakhov, and the main battle may soon unfold for him. The danger arises north of Selidovo: the army of the Russian Federation will break the defense of the Ukrainian forces to cut the track to the city from Pokrovsk. The Lieutenant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "Alex" indicates the approach of the Russians to Selidovo on the south: the invaders have already become fixed in landing one and a half kilometers from the city.
The situation is quite intense and it is possible that the invaders will be pressed in parallel from the east and north. No less hot point is the city of Kurakhovo in the Pokrovsky district, which is fired from RSSV, artillery and aviation. The Russians seek to do their best for the city to be minimally suitable for defense in the event of battles for it, Alex reported.
According to the coordinator of the group "Information Resistance", the military expert Alexander Kovalenko, will not collapse the defense of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces garrison was kept in the city for maximum depletion of Russian units and control over the large railway line, which connects Donetsk with Mariupol, Crimea, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. Russia is expected to launch this railway in the next weeks, Kovalenko added.
"Of course, the passionate city was a serious obstacle to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. A new offensive company begins: the breakthrough is expected to be Epiphany and Novoukrainka through Prechistivka. The first is already undergoing active blows," he says. The seizure of Selidovo and Toretsk - in the first place in the plans of the Russian Federation after the capture of the coal.
The chance to lose control of the two cities is very high, warns of the reserve colonel, the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev. Selidovo is stormed from three directions. Russian troops have the advantage in aviation, artillery and live power, keeping the city in such conditions is an incredibly difficult task, he says focus. The Battle of Mirnograd can begin by the end of October.
The plans of Russia by 2025 - an attempt to occupy Kurakhov and resolve the issue with the Pokrovsky direction. But there are other tasks: completing the operation in the area of Toretskaya agglomeration and taking a time ravine to open several ways of the offensive to Konstantinovka, Alexander Kovalenko is convinced. In addition, the enemy tries to surround Zukurine in the Pokrovsky direction.
The DeepState Analysts Team in the morning of October 4 confirmed the promotion of the occupiers in this settlement. According to the military with the call sign "Alex", now the most difficult situation in the area of Tsukurin, the enemy concentrates maximum efforts there and, if successful, turns it into a border to advance to Kurakhov. Military analysts hope for the forecasts of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence Kirill Budanov.
According to him, in October the offensive potential of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will decrease. Ten years of war with Russia have shown that no side of the conflict has been withstanding an active offensive for more than two months. "The Armed Forces will receive time and opportunities for action: both for the arrangement of fortifications and for planning new attacks," - said Vladislav Seleznyov.
