"Under heavy pressure from the russians": military expert Roman Svitan discussed problematic areas on the front
Currently, several problematic sections of the front are under significant russian pressure, according to military expert Roman Svitan in a comment to OstroV.
"At the moment, we have several problematic sections of the front. On the Zaporizhzhia front, there is the Vasylivka area, where the russians are now gathering a rather large grouping. The main task there is defense, but they could use it for offensive actions. The next dangerous area for us is the Vremivka salient—we cut it off last year, but the russians will try to reclaim it", - he explained.
According to him, the settlements of Novoukrainka, Shakhtarske, and Bohoyavlenka are under heavy russian pressure. "The russians will try to close this 'pocket' by pushing our forces along the Velyka Novosilka-Pokrovsk line. In the coming months, this will be their focus", - Svitan noted.
He added that the Kupiansk direction also remains problematic, with the russians attempting to secure a foothold on the left bank of the Oskil river to push Ukrainian forces from the left to the right bank.
Additionally, the situation around Kurakhove and Selydove remains difficult. At the same time, the military expert highlighted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the capability to contain russian breakthroughs on all these fronts "with proper planning and troop redeployment".
