Ukrainian army units in positions in Ugledar could be completely isolated and suffer heavy losses as a result, Reuters writes. According to the agency, the city is of great importance to the parties to the conflict, and control over it will allow Russian forces to increase the pace of advancement in other directions.
It is specified that if the Russian Armed Forces are able to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of Ugledar, this will improve the supply of Russian troops. In addition, success in the city will open up additional resources for continuing offensive operations.
Earlier, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command had managed to carry out an operation to transfer reinforcements to Ugledar. According to him, this mainly concerns mobilized troops. He added that they are often poorly prepared and often surrender.
Previously, military blogger Yuriy Podolyaka reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were experiencing “ very big problems ” in the Selidovo-Kurakhovskoye direction. According to him, there is a lot of pressure on the enemy front in that area along its entire length.
