"Disassembled on molecules": the colonel named the conditions under which the Armed Forces will hold Pokrovsk (video)
Sooner or later, he will have to solve the problem of Kursk breakthrough, but so far the combat units are busy for attacks on other segments of the front in Ukraine. The details of the plans of the enemy and the possibilities of the Ukrainians of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, the ex -school of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Vladislav Seleznev told the media NV.
Seleznev, assessing the situation near Pokrovsk, remembered the statement of the head of the GUR Defense Ministry of Defense Kiril Budanov. On August 7, 2024, Budanov stated that the forces in the Armed Forces remained for one and a half or two months. From this, the colonel concluded that it is important to hold the Armed Forces for three weeks - until mid -September. In this case, the Russians will have two problems that they have to solve - it is Donbas and Kursk.
The capture of Pokrovsk, the last city on the way to the border of Donetsk region and Dnipropetrovsk region is the purpose of the first stage of the "special operation" of the Russian Federation, said the ex -staff of the General Staff. "The enemy now threw all the resources available to him for the occupation of the city of Pokrovsk. If the Ukrainian army is able to last for the least three weeks, then there is a chance that the enemy will not work out of the plans," Seleznyov said.
In addition, the interlocutor of journalists explained why the defense forces retreat under Pokrovsk, where they seem to build fortifications and there is a personnel. According to him, the enemy has the advantage in all means - these are kabi kabi, which "the molecules disassemble our field fortifications", a dense artillery fire, a large amount of live force and armored vehicles. The expert also mentioned the prospects of the Kursk direction.
About 50,000 soldiers will be needed to destroy the Armed Forces in Kurshchyna. These additional forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can only be transferred from the front in Ukraine, but they are still involved in active battles, he said. "Where to get these resources if the vast majority of those resources are already involved in different areas of the front," Seleznyov asked rhetorically.
