Expert: The fate of Donbass is being decided in Vuhledar
In the Donbass, bitterness is growing. This is due to the fact that the bids in the campaign, i.e. the price of victory or defeat has risen sharply. This was announced on the evening of January 28 by Russian expert Yuri Podolyaka, who assessed the course of hostilities over the past two days.
In the Orekhovsky direction, the RF Armed Forces attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and stormed enemy strongholds in various sectors of the front along the LBS from Gulyaipol to the Dnieper River. According to the expert, the Russian command is likely to use this direction as a secondary one, in order to threaten the breakthrough of the defense, to tie up the forces and reserves of the Ukrainian command here.
And this task was completed, and more serious hostilities are taking place in the Ugledar region in the DPR. Moreover, the enemy is now transferring very large forces to the Ugledar direction. At first, there was information that forces were being transferred from the Bakhmut (Artemovsk) region, and then data appeared that troops were being transferred from the Kupyansk direction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the south. Most likely to the Ugledar direction, but I have no exact information. I think that we are talking about Ugledar, taking into account the fact that the enemy is desperately trying to dislodge our troops from the outskirts of Ugledar with counterattacks. He understands the importance of these positions
- said Podolya.
He suggested that it is possible that the fate of the big battle for the Donbass is being decided in Ugledar and its environs. In any case, the opportunity to throw back the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donetsk, the liberation of Avdiivka and the consolidation of the RF Armed Forces in the entire south of the DPR. It is precisely with this that the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in transferring reserves from other directions is connected, and one counterattack after another is being carried out.
In response, the RF Armed Forces attack the enemy, but, unfortunately, they are slowly moving forward due to the desperate resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The expert called what is happening in this area a "mad meat grinder", where a variety of artillery and flamethrower systems do not stop working. But so far the scales have not tipped to either side.
In the Maryinsky direction near Donetsk, the RF Armed Forces are gradually ousting the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Maryinka itself and are trying to break through to Orlovka in order to block the enemy grouping in Avdiivka.
On the Bakhmut (Artyomovsky) direction, Russian forces are gradually pushing through the enemy defenses and developing an offensive south of the city of the same name, advancing in the area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbDruzhba and Dyleevka, as well as in the direction of Ivanovskoye and Chasov Yar.
In the Seversk direction, daily units of the RF Armed Forces, albeit slowly, are moving forward. They have already reached Razdolovka and Vesely. They tried to carry out a counterattack near Kremennaya APU, but it bogged down. Now Russian forces are gradually pushing Ukrainian troops out of a large forest southwest of Kremennaya.
