"No need to think narrowly": the military told why an offensive on Vovchansk is important for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The occupiers do not need a deep promotion in the north of the Kharkiv region to force defense forces to transfer limited resources to this direction, not to the east. Particularly hot now in the Toretsky and Pokrovsky directions. The Russian offensive in operation is not successful, but strategically they play an important role - distracting limited Ukrainian resources. The Lieutenant of the Armed Forces "Alex" wrote about it in his telegram-channel "Officer".

In the operational plan of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they do not have much success, but in the strategic aspect the Russian offensive fulfills one goal. The limited group of troops "sucks" Ukrainian limited resources that could be sent to strengthen hot spots in eastern Ukraine. "They now do not need big promotion in depth, because it is enough to impose city battles in Vovchansk plus a new front 10-20 km long," Alex explains.

He adds that at the same time in the time ravine and Kurakhovo, the Ukrainian military is holding the situation. But everything is much more complicated in the Pokrovsky direction and in the area of ​​Toretsk. The reserves that Ukraine have to involve in Kharkiv region could improve the situation in these areas. Therefore, the military urged not to look at the situation on the front too narrow, because somewhere the operational failure can add to strategic success.

Currently, it is possible to do Russian troops. It should be noted that in the evening, the General Staff stated that the forces of defense repelled 7 invaders' attacks in the Volchansk, Lipts, Starytsia, Izbytsky and Vovchansky farms. At the same time, there were 25 battles in the Pokrovsky direction, and in Toretsky there are 7. Fighting in the New York, Northern and Iron.
