"Assault on Aphids": the Russian Federation can come close to "Gate to Pokrovsk", - experts

RBC-Ukraine figured out what problems the enemy will face on the way to Pokrovsk. The American Institute of War Study (ISW) reported that the invaders had advanced near the railway south of Selidovoy and in the surrounding villages. They try to go into the city from the side of the temporarily occupied Mikhailivka. The spokesman of the 15th Brigade of the Kara-Dag National Guard Vitaliy Milovidov said that as long as all attempts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation remain unsuccessful.

Defense forces destroy the enemy's personnel and equipment outside the city. Milovidov said that the invaders use night attack tactics, operate in small groups of infantry and fireting a village of all available weapons. They will not apply armored vehicles after the NSU fighters repelled several such attempts.

"Further tactics of the enemy are known, it will simply use a fire flurry, applies heavy artillery, a system of volley fire and the cabin and will try to carry out assault actions in ashes," the National Guard said. He assured that Selidov - completely under the control of the forces of defense, there are no Russian troops.

The military-political observer of the "Information Resistance" group Alexander Kovalenko explained that despite the attempts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to surround the Selidovo, the situation there is different from the one that has occurred in the coal. "I would not be fully compared, at least because there are three logistics arteries at the west of Selidovo, which allow both the garrison to provide and in the event of a critical situation," he said.

The expert noted that the main goal of the enemy is to get the opportunity to step on Pokrovsk from the south. To do this, the occupiers need to capture the village. According to Kovalenko, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are available two scenarios of the offensive to Pokrovsk - from the east and south. "But if we are talking about the southern direction, Selidovo is a huge problem for Russian occupation troops. I think they will strive for his occupation.

If not, the offensive campaign on Pokrovsk will be very risky for them," he explained. It is difficult to predict what will happen in Selidovo in the near future. Fighting can be delayed on the moon, and the Russians will continue to try to surround the city. The military expert and the reserve major Alexei Hetman stressed that it all depends on the enemy's ability to such an offensive and the possibilities of defense forces. "Unfortunately, the tactical initiative is on their side.

It is possible that they can come close to Selidovy or seize some other settlements," he added. We will remind, the military of the Armed Forces and political scientist Cyril Sazonov reported that Russia threw a whole army corps and additional tank units on the village. The serviceman with the call sign "Muzy" reported that the forces of defense managed to stop the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the south of Selidovo. 2 BMPs and one Bagi were destroyed in the battle.
