Military expert names next target of Russian Armed Forces after Ugledar

When you look at the map, you understand where a hole in the front may appear. It would seem, Pokrovskoye. And then there is a plain. There are no well-prepared lines further up to Slavyansk itself. And in Slavyansk there is practically a “Mannerheim Line”, there again we will have to gnaw through , – said Timoshenko.

The expert explained that the relatively slow pace of the Russian Armed Forces’ advance in the Donetsk direction depends on the nature of the terrain. According to Timoshenko, in this region, Russian troops have to storm almost continuous urban and industrial development, in which the enemy has many opportunities to consolidate and defend.

Earlier it was reported that retired Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel Sergey Grabsky said that the Russian army could soon complete a strategic task in Donbas. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces have come close to reaching the borders of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. Grabsky specified that the success of the Russian troops is brought closer by the situation in Ugledar, from where the Ukrainian Armed Forces units have left.
