However, according to the chief of the press service of the operational-strategic group of Khortytsia troops Elijah Yevlash, they have no motivation and have nowhere to retreat. Focus asked for military experts assessed the chances of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Kupyansk. "Kupyansk is directly related to Bakhmut. For the Russians Bakhmut, they took it, he has yet been their, Putin even awarded some heroes.
They cannot get out of there, but they did not move away," says the focus a military analyst, colonel Armed Forces Petro Chernik. According to the expert, the Ukrainian army continues to liberate the territory, and if the Armed Forces can be taken in Bakhmut, it will be a serious image blow for Russia, for this reason, the Russian Federation is trying to strengthen the position in this part of the front.
"Darling heights - ours, we are a little liberation of the territory, we take Bakhmut in the environment. It is possible. If this happens, a large group will either be eliminated or captured. It will be a very serious blow to Russia and Putin personally. Therefore, they think that if they press in the Kupyansk direction, we will remove the strength and means from the Bakhmut bridgehead, "the expert continues.
According to the Chernyk, the Armed Forces continue to reflect the attacks of the enemy, eliminating the equipment and personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In this case, the Russians can use a large amount of infantry, but they do not have an armored fist to truly break through the defense. "At the same time, let us remember the rule of any war: it is not so that one side is endless and the other retroaled.
Even the Nazis after the Stalingrad Battle, knowing that they lose the war, at the turn of 1944-1945 organized a brilliant offensive operation. So partial success of the enemy. Maybe, but Bakhmut showed that we have coped, and we will handle here, "the colonel sums up.

We have pulled the reserves there without removing from the southern direction.
We will believe that they will not be able to advance. Whatever they are told about them, they study our tactics, Actively used radio -electronic fights that interfere with our aircraft, as well as Lancet UAV, after the Orlan flies and see where we are. According to Hetman, Russia involves two large groups on the front: more than 100 thousand units of living force are concentrated in the southern direction, as well as a large group in the Kupyansk-Liman direction.
"When they stormed Bakhmut, they wanted to cut the defense line and advance their troops to go to the Kupyansk-Liman direction and south to the carbon group. They failed, and now active fights are in Kupyanskaya direction because it is easier To put everything it is necessary for hostilities, because behind the back of the Russian Federation, and logistics is not under the active fire control of our troops, " - adds the expert.
