Details.
Ukrainian defenders have pushed back the occupying Russian army in Donetsk Region, particularly near Slovyansk and in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkovka tactical area. At the same time, Russian troops do not stop trying to advance, intensifying strikes and changing tactics. This is according to a new report.
Slavian direction
"Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Slavyansk direction as Russian forces continued offensive operations in the area," ISW analysts report.
Geolocation maps from April 30 confirm the advance of Ukrainian forces south of Kolodyazov, which is northeast of Liman. At the same time, a Russian milblogger claimed the alleged capture of the village of Zakitnoye.
The press secretary of Ukraine's 11th Army Corps, Lt. Col. Dmytro Zaporozhets, said that Russian troops advancing from the direction of Siversk are suffering significant losses due to the difficult low-lying terrain. He emphasized that the enemy's tactics are of a wave-like nature, because after a series of attacks there is a pause, and then the assaults are resumed. In addition, the occupiers began to use heat and camouflage ponchos more actively for night movements, although earlier they mainly attacked during the day.
Konstantinovka direction
"Ukrainian forces have recently advanced in the Konstantinovka-Druzhkovka tactical area, as Russian forces have been conducting infiltration missions in the area," analysts said.
A video from April 30 confirms the advance of Ukrainian forces in the eastern part of Konstantinovka. Footage from April 29 recorded Ukrainian forces striking Russian units after a likely infiltration attempt. Analysts also noted that Ukrainian forces are holding positions northeast of Stepanivka, where Russian sources earlier claimed the occupiers' control.
Russian forces have intensified ground assaults in the Kostyantynivka direction. According to a Ukrainian brigade sergeant, the enemy has changed tactics: instead of small groups, individual servicemen are now sent into battle at intervals. They often orient themselves on the terrain with the help of paper directions or phones with GPS navigation.
How long the Russian offensive will last - general's opinion
The commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Major General Major General Alexandr Pivnenko, expressed the opinion that the Russian army is still capable of supporting offensive actions for one or two years, but does not have the resources for a large-scale breakthrough, particularly in the direction of Kiev.
He assessed that Russian troops are still trying to advance on some parts of the front and are seeking to seize as much Ukrainian territory as possible, but their advance remains slow and accompanied by significant losses.
"They are moving very slowly and with colossal losses. A thousand people a day is the minimum level of losses for them," Pivnenko noted.
At the same time, according to the general, despite such losses, the Russian army can still maintain the current intensity of offensive actions for at least a year or two.
The situation on the front - the latest news on the topic
Glavred previously wrote that the Russian troops with the beginning of warming noticeably intensified combat operations on various parts of the front. According to the co-founder of the DeepState project Roman Pogorilyi, the most intensive assaults continue in the area of Pokrovsk - Mirnograd. The situation also remains tense in the Gulyaypol direction, where the enemy is attacking, accumulating forces and pulling up additional units.
Reminder, Russian troops continue offensive operations in Donetsk region and achieve partial successes near some settlements.
In addition, Russia is pulling forces for an offensive in the Pokrovsk direction. There the enemy is pulling the occupants from other directions. This was stated by an officer of the brigade "Rubezh" NSU Vladimir Chernyak.
