Taking this city would allow the invaders to advance further to Pokrovsk and secure the left flank of the forces, Forbes explained.

Hundreds of Ukrainian troops from four brigades are trying to hold a vulnerable position south of Pokrovsk and Selidovo, despite the threat of being surrounded. This is what Forbes analyst David Ax said.

“But the Ukrainians in the area are not yet ready to retreat. On Wednesday they engaged in a brutal battle at a key road and rail junction between the fortress and the main Ukrainian sector in the north – and won,” he said .

The analyst noted that the Russians are trying to break into Selidovo, which is a front-line stronghold between Pokrovsk and Ukrainsk.

He added that Selidovo is very important not only for Ukraine, but also for Russia. As long as the Ukrainians remained in the south, they threatened the left flank of the Russian 2nd Combined Arms Army and 90th Tank Division – the main parts of the local Russian forces moving to Pokrovsk.

Over the past week, the Russian command has shifted its attention from a direct attack on Pokrovsk to an advance on Selidovo and nearby areas to the east and southeast. If they were successful, this would allow them to advance further to Pokrovsk and secure the left flank of the forces advancing from the south.

At the same time, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are trying to ensure that the Russians do not succeed, and are fighting to maintain a salient south of Pokrovsk to maintain a threat to Russia’s left flank, the analyst concluded.

We remind you that on the night of August 8, the Russians dropped a glider bomb on Selidovo, Donetsk region. Then two people died and seven were injured.
