Literally: “According to ISW, Russian troops are likely to use the capture of Toretsk to move further west and along the T-05-16 route Toretsk-Konstantinovka in the direction of the southernmost point of the Ukrainian fortification zone in Konstantinovka.
Details: According to analysts, the promotion of Russian troops in the Toretsky direction was slow because the invaders moved through the built -up urban areas, but they can begin to move relatively faster as they break from Toretsk to open areas of the area from this settlement.
Literally: “Russian troops can also try to use tactical benefits within and near Toretsk and east of Pokrovsk to destroy Ukrainian positions southwest of Toretsk, and some Russian bloggers have recently suggested that Russian troops can activate offensive operations southwest of Toretsk for this purpose. ”
Details: According to experts, Russian troops may seek to destroy Ukrainian positions southwest from Toretsk to strengthen their southern flank before the offensive on Konstantinovka.
The Russian military command can relocate elements of units to strengthen offensive operations in the Toretsky direction, if it has a priority intention to press on the Ukrainian fortification belt in Donetsk region in the spring and in the summer of 2025.
The capture of Pokrovsk is the main operational purpose of the Russian military command in Donetsk region since February 2024.
Literally: “Thus, the redeployment of Russian units in the Toretsky or time-Yar directions-as opposed to the preservation of units in the west of Donetsk region, relocation to the Zaporozhye direction or relocation to the Pokrovsky direction-will testify to the change of Russian operational priorities.”
