This was reported by military analyst Denis Popovich on the air of NV radio. According to him, Konstantinovka's capture can be a key step for further promotion of the enemy to the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration, which is crucial for the Russian side within the framework of the capture of the whole Donetsk region. Popovich emphasized that Konstantinovka acts as a "gate" in the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
The capture of this city will open a direct road to the Russian troops for the offensive on Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, which can significantly change the operational situation in the region and create additional threats to the Ukrainian defense forces. In addition, the observer noted the importance of Kupyansk in this operation.
This city is also an important logistics unit, and control over it will enable Russian troops to improve the supply and conditions for the capture of the northern part of Donetsk region. Thus, the capture of Konstantinovka and the control of Kupyansk can be decisive factors for the offensive on the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration. The observer also touched the situation in the south of Donetsk region, where Russian troops were targeted at the city of Selidovo.
According to Popovich, Selidovo is in a state of half -point, and the invaders try to intercept logistics routes towards this city. "The enemy tries to intercept logistics towards this city and make our troops depart from there, and if they leave, a very important territory, mines, and this heated is a tactical height, and then the enemy gets benefits," says Popovich.
If Ukrainian troops are forced to retreat from Selidov, it will open access to tactical heights, which will give them significant advantages in future operations. In the case of seizure of Selidovo, the enemy will be able to start active fighting for Pokrovsk, which will become another step on the way to the full capture of the Donetsk region. Popovich also announced the alarming news concerning the situation in eastern Ukraine, where Russian troops went to the Oskol River.
He noted that this could cut the Ukrainian bridgehead into two parts, which will significantly complicate further defense. According to preliminary data, the Russian forces came to the Kupyansk-Borova road crossing the Oskil River, and now fights are underway for control of this important area. According to the expert, the situation in the area of the Oskil River remains extremely tense.
Russian sabotage and intelligence groups (DRG) or individual units can already be in close proximity to strategically important objects, which requires an immediate reaction of the Ukrainian defense forces.
