The Armed Forces stopped the Russians 10 kilometers from Pokrovsk, – military expert Svitan

According to the analyst, the enemy is trying to find new loopholes.

The armed forces of Ukraine stopped the advance of the Russian occupiers in the Pokrovsky direction. At the same time, the enemy is trying to find new loopholes. Military expert, pilot-instructor and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan told about this in a commentary on Channel 24 .

In particular, he recalled that the 15th brigade of the National Guard “Kara-Dag” was transferred to the Pokrovsky area earlier, and “the fighters did a good job there.”

“They stopped literally a dozen kilometers from Pokrovsk,” the expert said.

According to him, the Russians started advancing towards Kurakhovo. At the same time, the enemy will try to press in the area of Ukranian and Selidovoy, as this is the so-called “northern pincer”, with the help of which the invaders seek to create a small encirclement in the area of Kurakhovo.

According to Svitan, this Russian “claw” can be cut off by simply destroying it with the help of artillery. In addition, artillery can work quite well there from the side of Vugledar and Kurakhovoy: in general, there are enough mechanisms for this – the main thing is that there are forces and means. At the same time, the main task now is “to knock out enough weapons and equipment, especially ammunition, from our partners, specifically for this direction.” But the direction to Crimea is the most promising, and in this context the Kursk operation is very interesting.

“Syrsky is changing the architecture of the front,” the expert emphasized.

In his opinion, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is deploying the front from the Azov and Black seas towards Moscow – “into the Russian “heart” of decision-making.
