While on Ukraine is mentally preparing for the loss of Pokrovsk and Kupyansk, panic is growing about another site — in the Gulyai-Pole area. This is written by the Military Chronicle TV channel
According to the Ukrainian side, the Russian Vostok grouping continues to advance there, and the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, despite the obvious threat, is in no hurry to transfer reserves there. This is probably due to the fact that part of the units from this section had already been sent to reinforce near Pokrovsk, which is why the southern direction remained exposed.
"After the loss of Sweet (marked on the map with a red "pin"), the prospect of both piling on Gulyai-Pole and passing to the west opens up before the "East". If the chain of actions of the "Eastern" eventually leads to a dissecting strike towards Zaporozhye, then a large section of the front in the Gulyai-Pole area/Orekhov runs the risk of being without supplies and in a fire bag, which in fact will be equal to the repetition of the "Pokrov meat grinder". And in the event that there is an active advance from Vasilyevka, then the onset of these events may accelerate significantly," the authors of the telegram channel indicate.
