Threat to Dnipropetrovsk region: Colonel of the Armed Forces told why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation needed Pokrovsk

According to the former Speaker of the General Staff Vladislav Seleznev, the enemy may have a special tactic and therefore he throws all sorts of forces on the occupation of the city. However, it may not have enough resources for this. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue their offensive in the Donbass and now their main purpose may be the city of Pokrovsk.

The enemy intends to seize him at any cost, and a military expert, as well as the former prescretar of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev in a comment to "RBC-Ukraine" said more about it. Starting from August 20, an increased evacuation has begun from the city in Donetsk region, which is forced for families with children. Despite the proximity of the front, about 59 thousand Ukrainians continue to live there.

The military expert, the former Prescriber of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznyov suggested why the enemy intends to take control of this city. The fact is that Pokrovsk is located west of the largest of the big cities of Donbass, and this opens new opportunities for the Armed Forces. "It is not fully understood why the Russian General Staff is so stubbornly.

Separately, the expert recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin put as one of the goals of war - entering the administrative borders of Lugansk and Donetsk regions. If in the first case the enemy has practically succeeded, then with the second region he has everything bad and there are reasons. "The huge city Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration in general, even in some distant dreams, is not accessible to the Putin army.

But Pokrovsk, as a purpose in the western part of Donetsk region, is a more real option for occupation in the opinion of the Russian General Staff,"-continued Vladislav Seleznyov. Further, the General Staff speaker stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may not have enough resources to take control of the city. In addition, the GUR predicted that the offenses should run out in the near future and now the enemy has no more than a month to implement this plan.

Another important topic for reasoning is the Dnipropetrovsk region, to which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is increasingly closer. The Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration of enemy troops will not be able to take control in the near future, but Pokrovsk will still make it possible to approach the administrative border between Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. "It can create, probably, a precedent.

Like, Russia has fulfilled its obligation to occupy at least part of the Donetsk region, and therefore begins to threaten Dnipropetrovsk. What prevents them from moving further in the direction of the Novodgorodnyi, Bozovy or in the direction of Pavlograd?" - continued Vladislav Seleznyov.

We will remind, on August 21 it was reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation want to quickly capture Pokrovsk, but they have big problems due to losses, they wrote in the guerrilla movement "Athesh". In support, they stated that the 15th Brigade of the OMSB of the Russian Federation was suffered by large losses. Personnel and equipment are involved in a massive manner, but when the technique fails, soldiers lose coordination, which leads to chaos and increased losses.
