Russia plans to capture Kurakhovo and Ugledar to allow its troops to gain a tactical advantage more quickly, analysts said.
The invading army significantly intensified its offensive in the Ugledar area and achieved minor tactical victories in this area. The enemy seeks to increase the pressure on the Defense Forces and create conditions for further success in the Pokrovsky direction. This is reported by ISW.
According to analysts, the combined attacks of the invaders from the southern flank in the direction of Pokrovsky to the western part of the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces around Ugledar are likely aimed at increasing the pressure on the defending Ukrainians in the west of the Donetsk region and create conditions. for further success in the direction of Pokrovsky.
However, the escalating attacks near Ugledar will not slow down the pace of operations elsewhere in the western Donetsk region.
The invaders intensified offensive operations near Ugledar as soon as possible after the expansion of the southern edge of the Pokrovsky ledge began. This indicates that the enemy plans to conduct mutually reinforcing offensive operations in the southern part of the Pokrovsky direction, directly west of Donetsk, along the 0-0532 highway and near Ugledar.
ISW thinks Russia plans to take Kurakhovo and Ugledar to allow Russian forces to quickly gain tactical advantages up to and along the N-15 highway, although they will have difficulty.
The Russian invaders, regardless of their success, wanted to consolidate the Ukrainian forces in the western part of the Donetsk region and prevent them from moving reinforcements to strengthen the defense of Pokrovskaya.
However, the Russians will not be able to maintain the initiative throughout the East for a long time, and repeated intensification of offensive actions in the Donetsk region, in addition to the constant operational pressure caused by the Ukrainian aggression Armed Forces in the Kursk region. , will probably lead to the fact that the offensive operations of the invaders will end earlier than what their military command had planned.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Council of Ground Forces Reservists, Ivan Timochko, said that Pokrovsk should not be considered as a separate city, but as a direction of the Ugledar-Kurakhovo-Pokrovsk front. The enemy is advancing on this line and will continue to advance to seize the initiative.
