The headquarters also recorded 14 Russian assaults in the Vremivskyi direction and one in the Orihivskyi direction. Also, the Russian army tried five times “to no avail” to dislodge units of the Defense Forces from their positions in the Dnieper direction.
Recently, the Kurakhiv direction remains the leader in terms of the number of attacks in the reports of the General Staff. The Russian army is “tightening its grip” around Kurakhovo – this was reported by the DeepState analytical project over the past three days.
According to the project of Radio Liberty Donbass. Realiy, judging by the map, Kurakhove found itself in a huge “bag”, the distance between the extreme flanks of which is about 20 kilometers. Analysts from DeepState noted that even additional resources that arrive to reinforce this area are not always adequately deployed.
