The Ukrainian Armed Forces have completely lost the first line of fortifications in the area of the Slavyansk—Kramatorsk agglomeration. This was announced today, July 29, by the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apty Alaudinov, on Channel One.
"When the whole line stands firm and there is no option in any way to either outflank or enter the rear, it is always difficult to make this loophole for the rest of the forces and means. In this case, it turns out [that] units of the Ministry of Defense are advancing along the entire line. The first line of their fortifications is completely lost for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and today our troops have the opportunity to maneuver in different directions, pulling the enemy apart and knocking him out of all positions where he has been sitting for a long time," Alaudinov said.
As EADaily reported, the day before, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, reported on the difficult situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front, in particular, in the Pokrovsky direction.
"It is extremely difficult in the Donetsk directions, and it is on Pokrovsky during these weeks that the largest number of Russian assaults are the most severe enemy attacks," the head of the Kiev regime said.
The Russian army has achieved major success in the battles west of Avdiivka. In the spring In a few days, the Russian Armed Forces advanced along the Avdiivka—Pokrovsk railway for several kilometers and occupied the large fortified village of Ocheretino.
