The next 1-2 weeks will be key. We must exhaust the occupier, inflict maximum losses on him for the success of our further counteroffensive
The Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass are now holding a defense, which has its purpose, first of all - the depletion of enemy resources. Departure from certain positions will later be compensated by counterattacks and counterattacks, "the military expert said.
Unfortunately, few people understand the tactics and strategies of defensive warfare, and therefore panic in - believe me - a completely empty place.
"I will give the example of Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, Sumy, Poltava and Mykolayiv regions. It was there that this tactic worked perfectly, despite the fact that large areas of the region were temporarily occupied. In Donbass, the situation seems worse, as it lasted for 3 months, while the above-mentioned areas were liberated within a month. But it is logical, "says Oleksandr Kovalenko.
At present, all the resources of the Russian occupiers, which were previously in Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, Sumy, and even Mykolayiv, are concentrated on the Donbass bridgehead.
"Therefore, the process of depletion of the enemy and its subsequent displacement will be longer," said a columnist for the "Information Resistance" group. "The most important thing should be understood - now the situation is completely under the control of the Armed Forces and any activity of the enemy - this is only a temporary, situational phenomenon."
Reserve Colonel Oleg Zhdanov claims that the Russian troops have overwhelmed the advance in the Donbass and in the southern regions. In the Donetsk and Luhansk directions, after 4 weeks of fierce fighting, the enemy managed to advance a maximum of 15-20 kilometers in the counted directions. With plans to "surround everything" and "defeat everyone".
"There is no success there. Moving a few kilometers during the week is not a success, but a temporary tactical success. Four weeks of continuous offensive action. In four weeks, 20 kilometers of advance - you can not even estimate the pace of the offensive operation. If it can be called that, "said a military expert.
The withdrawal of the Armed Forces from Popasna was a tactical step to preserve personnel and occupy more advantageous positions for defense. However, the Russian army cannot advance all the time, and now the Luhansk direction has de facto become the only one where they are trying to attack.
"Even taking into account the fact that we left Popasna, we did not leave because we were kicked out. There is nothing to defend. And all the fortifications were destroyed. And to keep the personnel, we went to the next line of defense. But the offensive potential of the enemy is not infinite - in fact, there is only one direction where they are still trying to attack, "- said Mr. Zhdanov.
In other areas: "Russian troops are either regrouping, or trying to gain a foothold on the borders they have reached, or retreating, as in the Kharkiv direction, where we are trying to counterattack their positions" - so almost daily informs the General Staff.
According to the military expert, the situation is stabilizing the front. The Armed Forces will soon completely eliminate the attacking potential of the enemy.
"I think we will do it in the near future - and then there will be an operational pause, which each side will try to use to prepare for the offensive / counteroffensive. We have the advantage that we have a delay only in the receipt of equipment, and they do not have time to mobilize and remove equipment from storage, "- said Oleg Zhdanov.
"In general, the enemy was able to create tension only in such relatively local areas as Severodonetsk-Lysychansk and Popasna. He has concentrated a lot of effort there and is trying to achieve at least some success, "said Mykhailo Samus , deputy director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament .
Now these are the hottest spots on the map, where, without exaggeration, the fiercest battles are taking place.
“How successful are these efforts of the Russian Federation? It is very difficult to say anything concrete now, because the situation is dynamic, everything is decided on the battlefield in these minutes and days: yes, the enemy is advancing, but Ukrainian troops are actively defending, opposing him in all possible ways, including any attempts to force the Seversky Donets. , - added the expert.
