Kupyanskaya Loss: Why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will benefit from Slavyansk attacks - expert (video)

Kupyansk is in the Kupyansk heavy battles and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are still gradually moving, said the military expert and ex -school of the Armed Forces General Staff Vladislav Seleznev on the air of Espresso. If the Russians are able to occupy this settlement, then logistics will be established for further offensive on the adjacent front area.

According to Seleznov, contrary to official information about the "successes of a certain army corps", the situation is deteriorating in Kupyansk. He proposed to carefully monitor the movement of hostile units and noted that the cause of troubles is probably the wrong decisions of the military leadership and the inaction of the local administration. "Thanks to [this], the enemy was able to first infiltrate some of its assault units, and then accumulate the appropriate forces and means.

Fighting is raging directly in the territory of this settlement. Slowly, but the enemy continues to move," the expert said. The Russians try to occupy and fix themselves at the bridgehead near Kupyansk, so that they can be able to step on Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, located south. In his opinion, if you lose the key city, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation transforms it into new "territorial achievements".

Seleznov estimates that the Russians will first provide logistics, and then have a powerful bridgehead for further offensive for several months. "The current enemy's attempt at any cost to gain control over this settlement, they will eventually be transformed into certain territorial achievements for the enemy. What they will be on the scale, depends on our resistance, our resistance," he said.

Seleznyov asked a rhetorical question whether the defense has enough resources to "organize the same resistance at such a high level that the enemy suffered incredible losses but did not have territorial achievements. " The last changes in the Kupyansk direction on October 12 have appeared on the DeepState Project Analysts. We see that in the direction of Kupyanskaya nodal formed a thin projection of the "gray zone", with an indicative length of about 3 km.

The nearest settlement near this speech is the village of Peschane, and then, for 7 km,-the eastern outskirts of Kupyansk-Novuzlovy, mentioned by the expert. The report of the Armed Forces General Staff, published in the morning of October 14, states that five storms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were charged in Kupyansk: this is an order of magnitude less than in the neighboring (Vovchansk in the north - 15, the estuary in the south - 14).
