Russian troops focused their attention on the south of the Donetsk region, in particular in the direction of the city of Selidove, where they threw an entire army corps and additional tank forces. Ukrainian military and political scientist Kyrylo Sazonov reported this on Kyiv24.
According to him, the main focus of the Russian invaders has now shifted to such cities as Vugledar, Kurakhove, and Selidove. The analyst notes that these are key points where the enemy's main forces are deployed.
The offensive on the southern cities of the Donetsk region
The Russians are also increasing pressure on the city of Pokrovsk, fighting continues in Toretsk, New York and Chasovoy Yar. According to Sazonov, these assaults are aimed at deterring Ukrainian forces from sending reinforcements to other directions.
In addition, analyst Sergey Zgurets of Defense Express warned that Russian troops are trying to bypass Selidove from the south, attacking positions near Tsukuriny. This is part of the invaders' attempts to occupy the entire territory of Donetsk region before the start of possible negotiations.
The scale of enemy forces
The army corps deployed in this direction may include 30,000 to 60,000 soldiers, which indicates a large-scale concentration of forces on this section of the front.
The situation on the southern front remains tense, with heavy losses among Russian troops. According to updated data, Russian losses in Ukraine continue to grow, especially in the context of active hostilities in the east and south of the country.
