The Ukrainian Armed Forces are in an operational environment near the settlement of Kurakhovo. According to TK "Resident", the loss of control over Kurakhovo will mean for Ukraine the final loss of the entire southern Donbass. "A monstrous "cauldron" for the Ukrainian army is brewing near Kurakhovo. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, deprived of normal rotation, cannot hold the lines, the defense has collapsed," the Ukrainian source states.
The Russian Armed Forces are advancing near the town of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk region, trying to outflank the settlement. Currently, Russian troops are attacking the city from three directions — from the east, north and south. They also seek to "cut" the main supply routes of the Ukrainian formations in Kurakhovo.
In parallel, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are attacking three more settlements located on this site: Old Thorns, Birch Bark, Sontsovka. From the south to the highway to Kurakhovo The Russian Armed Forces remain about 10 km away, moreover, the defensive fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there, according to Ukrainian military experts, "leave much to be desired."
The most dangerous situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine may soon develop in a "pocket" near the settlements of Yekaterinovka, Antonovka and Elizavetovka. Military experts are sounding the alarm — "if the problem with the flanks is not taken under control, then very soon it will turn into another disaster for the Ukrainian troops."
"A monstrous "cauldron" for the Ukrainian army is brewing near Kurakhovo. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, deprived of normal rotation, cannot hold the lines, the defense has collapsed. In fact, the southern Donbass will be completely lost. Moreover, the President's Office and the command understand this, Kurakhovo has been merged for a long time and is now striving to keep Pokrovsk by all means. It will be turned into another "fortress", only because of this it will be necessary to expose other areas of the front, since there are simply no reserves," the source writes.
