Russia's offensive in the decisive phase? What are territorial losses in eastern Ukraine

The active offensive of the occupation troops in the Donbass and fighting in the Kharkiv region may testify to the final stage of the Summer Campaign of the Russian Federation. The defensive tactics of the Armed Forces will result in further losses of territories. Changing the front situation involves the transition to a counter -offensive, convinced by military experts surveyed by focus.

Russian troops are moving in eastern Ukraine: on July 24, it became known about the capture of the village of Peschane in Kharkiv and approaching the Oskil River. To the nearest village of Kolesnikovka - more than six kilometers, and to Oscol itself - about eight.

A number of promotion in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is also in the Pokrovsky direction: in the area of ​​the village of Vovche, where the offensive after the capture of progress develops, and in Novoselivka First, reports the Deppe State monitoring public. To the north of the progress, the invaders are trying to surround part of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces near the village of Lozuvatsky and break into Ivanovo in Donetsk region.

By the morning of July 25, it became known about the advance of the enemy in the Timofeevka area. No one gives the order to depart, told the Deep State Fighters of the 31st Brigade, who practically got into the environment. South of the Lozuvatsky enemy formed a neck, through which it is necessary to keep a number of positions west from the height of 236. 9. "The brigade leadership wants the fighters to continue to be surrounded, to the last soldier.

Roth management is actually absent, because their commanders are injured or died," the resource said. The operative-tactical environment became critical on weekends due to the chaotic departure of one of the infantry brigades. The 47th separate mechanized brigade came to the rescue, but did not restrain the enemy who prevailed, emphasizes the public.

On July 16, the deputy commander of the third assault brigade spoke about the unpleasant and difficult but controlled situation in the Kupyansk direction. Russian invaders have long been trying to move in the direction of Kupyansk and Borova, Kharkiv region and for a long time relocated reserves. Tense battles continue. "They really have to move towards Kupyansk and Borova. They have been throwing reserves there for two months.

The Armed Forces are forced to conduct defense type fighting due to a number of factors, including slow supply of Western aid. Territorial losses in eastern Ukraine will last at least by the end of 2024. In order for the situation to change, it is necessary to go into counter -offensive, says the focus coordinator of the group "Information Resistance", military expert Alexander Kovalenko.

"Sand for Russians is an extreme village along the Tabaivka - Starch - Brest - Berestovo" before the throwing through the fields on the left bank of Oscol. Further promotion of fields is quite problematic, these borders were strengthened from the moment of release of Kharkiv region in 2022, " - says Focus expert. In any case, it is more difficult to conduct combat in the field than that of urban ones.

Kovalenko believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not be able to get out quickly to the left bank of Oskol. Although, given the occupation of the sand, the "elongated" sleeve has come out: now the enemy will be engaged in the creation of flanks in the north and south in order to align the line of contact. Ivanivske during the ravine is practically occupied, some of the settlements are in the gray zone.

It should be understood that it is important for the occupiers to create a safe zone to continue the successful offensive south of the track 0504. The attempt to form a safety zone in the south of Lozuvatsky after the capture of progress and coverage of flags in the Vozdvizhenka area also looks logical, he added. "The whole southern flank actually want to control the channel.

Well -known Polish military analyst, Colonel Piotre Lewandowski suggests that the summer offensive of Russia in Ukraine has entered the decisive phase. Having received reinforcements, the aggressor will try to return the initiative north of Kharkov and break the defense on the Kupyansk - Svatovo - Kreminna section. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation come in the direction of Siverskaya, time ravine and want to take advantage of tactical success in the area "New York-Toretsk".

Currently, their intelligence units are coming to the road connecting Pokrovsk and the time of the ravine, which will significantly complicate the supply of those who defend. There are still about a dozen brigades near the Sand in the Armed Forces, which allows you to maintain defense stability. Fighting for deep and Vovchansk are dynamic and often go into counter bats. But the deterioration of the situation in the Donbass can force to rotate forces, and Russians can take advantage of it.

The current level of territories in eastern Ukraine is not critical, as the Russian army pays for breakthroughs, the executive director of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation Dmitry Zhmaylo tells Focus. The death of the invaders and the tremendous losses of military equipment accompanies the entire summer campaign, but the command of the Russian Federation needs to show combat successes to society. "For this reason, they feel the forces of the Armed Forces throughout the front line.

The Pokrovsky direction is the most priority, there is a third effort. But we remember that more , - emphasizes the analyst. The time of Yar and Toretsk did not pay for the Russians quickly and now the main task is to reach the route "Pokrovsk - Konstantinovka". Obviously, the promotion will be, but the front breaks are impossible, he added.

However, the pressure of the Russian troops is not frightened by the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky, who says he will not copy the style of the enemy. Achieving goals at any cost and departure of Ukrainian soldiers in useless "meat storms" is unacceptable. Sometimes it is necessary to move to more favorable positions, recognized as a commander in an interview with The Guardian. "It is very important for us to save the lives of our soldiers.

We do not protect the ruins," Syrsky said. Despite the recent territorial losses in the Donbass, the head seriously considers it real to return Crimea under the control of Ukraine. "Was it really realistically? It is realistic. Of course it is a great military secret. We will do our best to reach the internationally recognized borders of 1991. We must win to release our citizens who are in occupation and suffer," he summed up .

We will remind, in the morning, July 24, the Russian army struck a rocket strike in the Nemyshlyany district of Kharkiv and the village of Lisove. The attack was affected by the Feldman Ecopark Landscape Park and the FSD Swiss Fund's office, dealing with humanitarian demining. According to the operative-strategic group of Khortytsa troops, the most active battles in the Kharkiv direction continue near the village of Hlybok and Volchansk.
