"We need to go away with battles": will Russian invaders be able to reach Pokrovsk - expert (video)

The military analyst Alexei Hetman stated that Ukraine has already built fortifications that will help the defense forces to finally stop the enemy's advancement. The situation in the Pokrovsky direction of the front remains tense. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have some success, but Russian invaders will not be able to reach the city. This opinion was expressed on May 29 by military analyst Alexei Hetman on the broadcast of the FREED.

According to him, after the Ukrainian troops left Avdiivka, this situation was predictable. "From a military point of view, we needed to go to keep the defense using the terrain. The next mountain ridge to Pokrovsk's side 10-15 km from Avdiivka. There would already be dominant heights, it would be easier for us to keep defense easier ", - said the analyst. He noted that from the political point of view of the defense force of Ukraine could not immediately move to such a distance.

Therefore, they had to fight in the lowlands, which is inconvenient, because the enemy in such conditions has the advantage. Hetman stated that further along the line of Yevgenivka - Novoselivka the first - Komyshivka - Ptich, along the Vovcha River, the ruling heights begin. In addition, the river itself is a natural fortification that will complicate the promotion of the occupiers. "I think that we will stop Russian invaders on this turn. We will have a advantage there.

And now we need to go away with fights," the hetman said. According to him, according to the above line, serious fortifications have already been built. Defense forces will be able to finally stop the enemy's offensive "I do not think that the aggressor will be able to go to Pokrovsk, and even more so - to reach Konstantinovka to worsen our logistics capabilities, especially the railway," the analyst said.
