The Defense Forces were also forced to withdraw from Rivnopillia and a number of settlements, as reported by the Defense Forces of the South. "After the capture of Rivnopilla, an operational area of movement to Gulyaipol from the north opens up, but the enemy can focus on broader tasks, because the Katsaps do not have resources for Gulyaipol yet," write DeepState analysts.
They suggest that the Russians may try to continue advancing in the direction of Varvarivka (a settlement north of Gulyaipol, through which one of the routes to Gulyaipol passes). Analysts also expect an increase in the number of pilots in this direction to complicate logistics to the city. "The enemy will most likely start active shelling of Gulyaipol itself in order to weaken the ability to hold the defense.
We will monitor the activation in the area of Marfopyla, through which the enemy made repeated attempts to break into the city," the post reads. At the same time, DeepState notes the correct decision of the command to withdraw from unfavorable positions. It was emphasized there that society has long been demanding realistic solutions, the purpose of which will be to preserve personnel.
"There is still work to be done on internal communication, where the SOP informs about one number of settlements, the Commander-in-Chief about another, and the head of the assault troops still cleans, storms and liberates according to the method, which is generally inappropriate in this context and calls into question the trust of society," DeepState draws attention. We will remind that the Russian invaders are advancing in the Zaporizhzhia region and are threatening to occupy Gulyaipole.
