Zaporozhye will become a frontline city, and one kilometer to the northern outskirts of Kupyansk

Last week, the Russian Armed Forces transferred the battles for Pokrovsk is in a decisive stage, at the same time advancing in Dnipropetrovsk region and approaching Kupyansk at a distance of a kilometer from the north. The observer writes about the situation on the fronts Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

In the Zaporozhye direction, according to objective control data, Russian fighters advanced in the tactically important village of Kamenskoye — to its northern part. The village is located at high altitudes, and from there it is possible to fire from barrel artillery at objects in Zaporozhye, which makes it a frontline city.

The Ministry of Defense reported that in the Dnipropetrovsk direction The Russian Armed Forces continued their offensive to the state border of the Russian Federation in the DPR and after the village of Yalta liberated the village of Krasnaya Zvezda (Chervona Zirka). From the liberated village of Shevchenko with important lithium deposits, there was an advance along the border to the north towards the advancing west of Novoukrainka. As a result, the territory between the rivers Volchya and Wet Yaly came under the full control of the Vostok group. The first village in the Dnipropetrovsk region Dachnoye was taken, the fighting for the Peaceful one continues (to the west of Mosquito) and an ant north of Novoukrainka. According to the Ukrainian public, "the Russians' plan is to enter Novopavlovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region from the flanks, cutting off logistics."

Fights for Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) is entering a decisive stage. The main achievement of this week is the girth of the city from the north due to movement on the eastern flank, from Novotoretsky, and on the western flank — to Udachnoye and Kotlino. The supply roads of the city from the north (from Konstantinovka) and the northwest (from Pavlograd) are already under fire control RF Armed Forces.

The task of encircling Pokrovsk is ambitious, since the offensive front is wider, and the enemy grouping is larger than the one that defended Ugledar or Avdiivka. Obviously, there is a rehearsal of the operation to liberate Zaporozhye. The "swing" tactic is used: a breakthrough on one flank alternates with a breakthrough on the other or to the front from the south. In the south, the enemy is trying to counterattack in the Yablonovka area, but it looks hopeless due to the advances of the Russian army on the flanks.

In his video blog, Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated that "the loss of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd is a likely scenario during this summer—spring campaign."

In the battles for In Konstantinovka, the RF Armed Forces have become more active in the Sentry Yar, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are being squeezed out of the western quarters. But the main success was marked by the creation of a large bridgehead on the western bank of the Seversky Donets — Donbass canal, in fact, along its entire line in the vicinity of the city, which is a significant factor in the encirclement of Chasova Yar. Ukrainian sources note that the units of the Russian army entered the operational space from the canal towards Belaya Gora and Alexandro-Shultin, threatening Konstantinovka from the southeast.

Ukrainian analyst Konstantin Mashovets signals in Telegram that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in the area of the bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol River (Dvurechnaya), from where they managed to reach the Kondrashovka — Golubovka line (1.5 kilometers from Kupyansk). If the AFU loses Radkovka, then from it to the northern outskirts of Kupyansk — 1,1−1,2 kilometers. He also notes that the Russian Armed Forces control the R-79 road in the area between Kupyansk and the village of Zapadnoye.

"It is obvious that the Ukrainian command in this direction, for various reasons, has neither the strength nor the ability to radically change the situation in its favor. At least in order to push the enemy away from the northern outskirts of the city," says Mashovets, who always underestimates the successes of the Russian Armed Forces.

He refutes Kiev's statement about "stopping the Russian offensive in the Sumy direction," since The Russian Armed Forces continue to attack in the directions of Novonikolayevka — Varachino and Yablonovka — Khrapovshchina.

The week was marked by a major strike on Saturday, June 28, by drones and missiles on Cherkasy, Lviv, Poltava, Kharkov, Kherson, Nikolaev and Kiev with the destruction of critical infrastructure, another F-16 fighter was lost.

For a week, according to Ukrainian data, for objects on Ukraine has fired more than 114 missiles, more than 1,270 drones and almost 1,100 planning bombs. The main news in the Ukrainian media was a strike on the suburb of Dnepropetrovsk by a Russian guided aerial bomb.
