At the same time, the reinforcement of Ukrainian troops, urban areas and Ukrainian defense structures probably contributed to the slowdown of Russia’s advance in this direction over the past week, the review said.
Meanwhile, in the northeastern part of the Kharkiv region, Russian troops advanced west of the village of Pishchane. Now they occupy a small ledge 3.5 km from the Oskil River.
It is likely that Russian troops aim to reach the eastern bank of the Oskil River in order to use it as a natural defensive barrier and create conditions for future operations.
Even at the beginning of September, British intelligence wrote about the acceleration of the Russian advance to Pokrovsk.
Also, British intelligence claimed that the increase in the number of victims among the Russian military in August was connected, among other things, to the constant pressure on the Pokrovska arc.
