The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced in the Donetsk region: where the enemy expands the offensive zone (map)
One of the directions of impact of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation along the Yalta line - star - Poddubne. Probably, the Russians try to reach the H15 highway, which leads to the Dnipropetrovsk region. In this direction, a "pocket" was formed, which analysts are denoted as a "gray zone". However, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the exit of Russian units by the star has not yet been recorded.
In the next operational summary for June 30, the Ukrainian military body reported that in the Novopavlovsky direction, the enemy of the last day made 14 attacks in the areas of settlements Mirne, Zaporozhye, Fedorovka, Richtyr, Shevchenko, Vesele, Novopol and Rivnopil.
The military expert and the head of the security projects of the Center of Globalism "XXI" Pavel Lakichuk explains that the tactical promotions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation around Pokrovsk, Konstantinovka, the Temporal Yar, as well as in the Novopavlovsky direction are not formed in a full strategic offensive operation. According to him, the breakthrough of defense, access to the operational space and fixing on the new borders is only part of the task.
In order to consider the operation strategically successful, you need to comprehensively attract reserves, logistics and rear and invest in a clear time frame. However, Russia did not. "When the defense breaks are delayed, the ammunition is stopped, the personal warehouses are distorted, the offensive potential is lost. In fact, the operation of those resources that have been spent, obviously, the attacker will not reach their goals," Lakichuk stressed.
