"We're being stretched out. It's unclear where the Russians will go." – Ukrainian expert on the situation in the LBS
After the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), the Russian army could equally well move towards Konstantinovka or Dnepropetrovsk.
Former SBU employee and military analyst Ivan Stupak stated this on the DniproTV channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" There are two directions the Russians are moving ... It's not a given that they'll actually appear there, but they're moving people and resources in that direction. First: Hulyaipole, where people and equipment have been seen moving from occupied Mariupol. Second: Pokrovsk . The Pokrovsk agglomeration, this ruined city, is being filled with people because they can hide there, both in the ruins and in the intact buildings.
"But then, where will they go from this direction? Either towards Dnipropetrovsk region, or will they head for Kostiantynivka ? There's no clear understanding yet. I suppose it will be Kostiantynivka. But we'll see," Stupak reasoned.
" They have the ability to stretch us thin precisely because of the large number of their men. A total of 710 Russian troops are on the Ukrainian fronts. Therefore, they are constantly being redeployed from one direction to another. Therefore, the situation is not static," the Ukrainian expert declared.
