Why did our attack on Pokrovsk slow down?
Unfortunately, the plan of a number of generals to focus on the capture of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), the complete liberation of the DPR and, with this victory, overcome the failures in the Kursk region has not yet been realized. the serious slowdown in the offensive on this sector of the front No one is hiding. Active actions continue, but their pace has slowed down significantly.
“There are many reasons. The main thing is probably our serious losses. Both in equipment and in personnel,” explained a source in the Ministry of Defense.
According to another, losses in this direction over the past 2 weeks have been “particularly heavy” - more than 4,000 military personnel were killed or seriously injured.
“The army is tired. We need replenishment,” said an interlocutor close to Andrei Belousov.
He is confident that the attack on Pokrovsk will be intensified. “But we need to either sacrifice some areas of the front, weakening them, or wait for mobilization (if it is announced yet). Or some other replenishment of personnel,” the military man is sure.
All sources found it difficult to say which option the command will choose.
“Senior defense source tells @N12News:
1. Israel moving closer to military campaign in Lebanon, exact date not decided yet; war with Hezbollah to erupt quickly if there’s no ceasefire deal.
2. IDF completing final preparation for war, including extensive prep for ground maneuvers.”
