Until a few months ago, the war in Ukraine was essentially a static trench war reminiscent of World War I, with endlessly long and bloody sieges to capture towns.
Currently, Ukraine’s defense forces are declining not only in supplies and ammunition, but also in numbers and capabilities, and since the first month of the war, the attackers have been unable to do so, as Russian troops are simultaneously exploring countless locations on the front lines. They are occupying territory at an unprecedented rate. .
Julian Ropke, a German analyst for the pro-Ukrainian newspaper Bild, reported that in just three days, from October 24th to 26th, Russian troops attacked Bogoyavlenka, Katelinovka, Izmailovka, Alexandpol, Gornik, Selidovo, He reported that he had captured eight settlements in Shakhchorskoye and Vishnevoe.
And over the past three days, the pace hasn’t slowed down.
There is currently talk of a chain attack from multiple directions aimed at the immediate goal of Pokrovsk.
In addition to being a major transportation hub, the city also has the unique feature of being surrounded by Ukraine’s last coking coal mine.
Slavyangrad Reported:
“The Russian military is trying to establish control of Ukraine’s only mine for coking coal production. If Russia succeeds, Ukraine’s steel production will be cut by more than half.
This industry is the second most profitable industry in the country after agriculture. Therefore, the release of the mine will cause significant damage to Kiev’s economy. ”
This comes as more and more sources within the Ukrainian military share the true dire situation of pro-Kiev forces.

Kyiv, Ukraine – Major General Dmitry Marchenko of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
“Our front line has collapsed. First, ammunition and weapons are in short supply. Second, there are people, there are no people, there are no reinforcements. people are very tired. They simply cannot lead the front lines they are on. Third, there is a management imbalance. ”
After the fall of Selidovo, there were no large cities on the route of the Russian army, and the army was able to concentrate all its attention on Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.
However, no one should expect Russian forces to engage head-on with defense forces in these locations, as has been the case in the past.
The strategy is the same as before. Move forward, look for weak defenses everywhere, flank the big center, put defenders in a cauldron and circle it until it’s run or die.
it is boa constrictor A strategy that is working.
