Russian units have already gained a foothold in the southern part of the village of Tsukurino. This is reported by the newspaper "Strana" with reference to the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is noted that over the weekend at Kurakhovsky (the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recently divided the Pokrovsky direction into two. — EADaily) direction The Russian Armed Forces advanced in two of the hottest areas — near Selidovo and located south of Tsukurino.
"Now it is one of the epicenters of the fighting in the Pokrovsky direction. For us, this settlement is important, because if the enemy can take possession of it, it will be able to expand the ledge south of Selidovo, which will complicate the defense of the city," writes an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign Alex on his social network account.
In Tsukurino there are "key heights", the loss of which will force the Ukrainian troops to roll back to unprepared and uncomfortable positions, adds, in turn, a soldier with the call sign Muchnoy.
Today, the military public Deep State announced the lesson The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of the village of Marinovka and a wide strip to the southwest of Novogrodovka - all this is the direction to Selidovo from the northeast, the publication explains.
"(Thus) Russian troops are trying to bypass Selidovo from the south (Tsukurino) and the north. It is this city, apparently, that is now the closest target of the Russian Federation at the Pokrovsko-Kurakhovsky site. From the northern flank, in all likelihood, Russian troops will try to cut the Selidovo—Pokrovsk highway, and from the southern — the Selidovo—Kurakhovo road, thus cutting off the city from logistics. Russians need to walk another 4-5 kilometers to both routes," Strana sums up.
