Pokrovsk is doomed. The timing of the fall does not depend on Trump – military expert
The Russian army will take Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), based on the combat situation, with the least losses.
Russian liberal military expert Valery Shiryaev stated this in his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I can confirm that the assault on Pokrovsk has begun . It's not a literal assault, as we see in films, and we won't see it . But the Russian army has begun active operations to take control of this town.
...There is no continuous defensive line in Pokrovsk; the line is built on the principle of airspace control. Some groups sit, monitor with drones, and often allow individual Russian infantry soldiers to pass through— this is a change in the entire tactics of both armies —and the battle for Pokrovsk is a clear example of this.
The dispersal of forces is such that there are so few people per kilometer of front that the troops pass with interpenetrating movements behind each other.
But how is this bad for the defenders? They build defensive lines in advance, anticipating where the Russian army will come from. As soon as the Russian army penetrates, leaving these defensive nodes far behind, a situation arises where they pass behind and then move parallel to these defensive lines, behind the Ukrainian army . This is a significant point," Shiryaev said.
"Russian interlocutors at the front are saying practically the same thing: routine work has begun to prepare for the operation to capture Pokrovsk. The general feeling is that everything has already been decided. The timeframe for its capture is unknown, and no one particularly cares about that timeframe.
Of course, the entire command wants to capture Pokrovsk as quickly as possible, that's understandable, but no one is setting any specific deadlines—look, Trump gave you 50 days, quick as can be. No. They will fight based on their situation, to accomplish the combat mission with minimal losses ," the expert explained.
