Raisins taken: what gives Russia control over this important Ukrainian city

10

The Russian army won a very important victory in eastern Ukraine. The city of Izyum was taken, which was held by the 81st separate air assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian units were defeated, and the settlement itself was almost cleared. But why is this event so important for the continued success of the Russian special operation?

According to military expert Yuriy Podolyaka, now we are talking not only about the encirclement of the AFU grouping in the area of ​​​​Kramatorsk, Lysychansk and Slavyansk, but about the "cauldron" for the enemy on the entire Donetsk front. It is for this reason that elite formations of the Ukrainian army, namely the 81st Airborne Assault Brigade, were thrown into the defense of Izyum.



Now the entire flank of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Kharkov to Donetsk begins to crumble.

Now Russian troops can develop an offensive in three directions. The first - to the area of ​​Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, thereby breaking the Ukrainian forces into two parts. The second strike can be inflicted in the direction of Lozova and further Pavlohrad, thereby cutting the last route connecting the Donetsk grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the “mainland”. The third direction is Krasnograd, the capture of which will lead to the complete encirclement of Kharkov

Podolia explained.


There are also reports from the more southerly town of Gulyaipole, where intense fighting has been going on in recent days. Having gained the upper hand here and defeated the enemy, the Russian troops will have the opportunity to develop an offensive in the rear of the Avdeevka group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a wide front, as well as to meet their forces in the Pavlograd region, completing the formation of a huge "cauldron".

      ... Russia can stop the special operation at any time if Kyiv accepts and fulfills all Russian conditions, but the demilitarization of Ukraine will still be carried out in any case. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov…

      Perhaps this is diplomacy. That is, when they say one thing, think another and do a third. It is a priori impossible to stop demilitarization WITHOUT military action, if the troops that are going to be demilitarized do not want to. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the national battalions do not want this. And Zelensky does not command them, just as half of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not commanded by the General Staff of Ukraine...

      We can say that this is the only expert who provides information clearly and understandably. In general, Russia, as always, is losing the information war. There is very little fresh news on the operation in Ukraine. Old button accordions hang on the main media. I have been combing through all the media for an hour and a half in the morning. Zero. The articles are already moldy. Can not be so.

        unfortunately, Yuriy makes an analysis based only on observations of people on the ground, and, well, he also began to use data from the RF Ministry of Defense and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. But the latter are uninformative, although together they give some kind of picture. He also often makes mistakes in his assessments and does not always tell the truth about the real situation at one point or another. But at least some information and explanation of some points. It is a pity that our MO does not keep this kind of journal with explanations and visualization ..

      So far, you can only see how you are losing the cold war! It’s good that there is little information, there will be fewer of your fakes.

      And what’s unclear here. Back in the Great Patriotic War, Izyum appeared in the Information Bureau reports much more often than even Kharkov. Zhukov mentions him at least a dozen times in his memoirs. maybe wrong, but the current liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis began in much the same way as the Soviet marshals described it in their memoirs.

      Raisins for the night from 8 to 9 were not taken, They took the "Baraki" area and the north, and in the south there was the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Nazi volunteer battalions. (the locals chanted on YouTube at night, swore that the water and gas were turned off, parts of the houses were destroyed where volunteer fanatics set up firing positions ... as always, in short)
