The Russian Armed Forces broke through to Myrnograd: why the defense reached the limit, but without failure, the columnist (map)

He specified that the settlement was defended by experienced Ukrainian fighters who have been holding positions for a year. The columnist believes that the decisive battle in the Pokrovsky direction will take place not on the streets of the cities, but on the line between Bilytskyi and "Pokrovske Mining Administration" (near Udachny). The columnist's post appeared on October 29, a few hours after the statement of the spokesman of the command about the Russians on the outskirts of Mirnograd.

Miroshnikov noted that the units of the Defense Forces withstood a large number of assaults by the Russian Armed Forces, and therefore "sooner or later subsidence will be. " "At the same time, I cannot say that there was any failure. No, on the contrary. On our side, there are experienced units that held the lines for many months without losing territory. But there is a limit to everything, and this is exactly what happened," the post reads.

It is also noted that there are positions on the edge of the front near the previously lost Grodivka that have been holding the defense for a year. On the other hand, the Russian Armed Forces have recently begun to actively press from Rodinsky (to the north of Myrnograd) and Novoekonomichny (to the east). "The fate of the Pokrovsk-Myrnograd agglomeration will not be decided in urban battles, and on the Bilitske-Gryshyne line, the Pokrovska mine," Miroshnikov concluded.

As of October 29, the map of combat operations of the DeepState project does not show that units of the Russian Armed Forces penetrated the outskirts of Mirnograd: the last changes are marked on October 27. The battle line is 6 km from Mirnograd. On the map, you can find three points where, according to the observer, the fate of the Pokrovsky direction will be decided. Bilytske is 9 km north of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd and 4 km from the line of battle near Nikanorivka.

The mine is 11 km west of Pokrovsk next to the village of Udachne. It should be noted that the escalation of fighting in Myrnograd became known in the evening of October 28. Hryhoriy Shapoval, spokesman for the "East" military group, said on the air of the telethon that the Russian Armed Forces broke through to the outskirts of the city and engaged in street fighting. For the breakthrough, the Russians used artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles, infantry, and military equipment.

According to the representative of the command, the situation is "difficult". Meanwhile, Ukrainian officers warned of threats to Mirnograd, who told the journalists of "Ukrainian Pravda" about the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They explained that the "logistics arm" in Myrnograd is 20 km, there is a significant amount of enemy infiltration in Pokrovsk, and "the defense is collapsing too quickly.
