This is very typical for the Russians – to carry out the offensive before peace negotiations; This tactic is well known from 2014 and 2015.
The situation in the Donetsk region is serious, it is far from the collapse of the front. The current situation is more reminiscent of May 2024, when the Russians managed to break through the border for a distance of about 10 kilometers. However, then their breakthrough was stopped and remained localized.
The ratio of forces in the Pokrovsky direction remains unknown: it is believed that the Russians have concentrated up to 100 thousand people there, so they have the potential for expanding the breakthrough. The sequence of the breakthrough goes according to the following scheme: to find a weak place in hostile defense, to break it, to expand the breakthrough, to put into battle maneuverable parts capable of fulfilling the goals of operational scale.
At the moment, only the breakthrough of a weak point in Ukrainian defense is recorded; Whether the Russians can expand this break – it remains uncertain. The situation can be significantly deteriorated for the Defense Forces of Ukraine – but this will only be shown by the fighting in the coming days.
