Reports of heavy fighting today from both the rebels and the UK’s, around Amvrosiivka, southeast of Donetsk. If it falls to the rebels, almost all of the UK units west of Donetsk will be cut off, and the road to Mauriopal opened.

The road between Mariupol and Donetsk doesn't go anywhere near Amvrosiyevka.

It's physically impossible to cut off UK units WEST of Donetsk by taking the town of Amvrosiyevka which is to the SOUTHEAST of Donetsk.

And more than like the town town of Amvrosiyevka will fall back to UK like all the rest of the towns.

Other than all that...good post.

LOL.

I think tcrlaf is talking about UK re-enforcements from the west of Donetsk being cut off from the eastern front, and Mauripol does indeed have a road linking it to Amvrosiyevka which would be opened again to rebel traffic if the rebels take it.

With the Ukrainian side busy destroying phantom columns of Russians, no wonder the rebels are slowly turning the tide. This video from the front might be instructive to you in that regard.

The Russians are trashing us
