“According to the analytical monitoring project DeepState, the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to hold positions in a large part of Gulyaipol, Zaporizhzhia Region, but further defense of the city becomes extremely difficult due to the topography of the area.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua

Details: Analysts note that the city is completely in a gray zone, because the enemy, like the Ukrainian military, is present almost everywhere. There may be fighters of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in one basement, and the enemy in the next. In the open, only assault groups operate, of which the enemy has much more, so he can afford to shoot a video in the center of Gulyaipol with a flag, the message states.

According to the data DeepStatethe main difficulty for Ukrainian units is the terrain, because Gulyaipole is in the lowlands and getting people into the city becomes a difficult task. For the enemy, the situation is similar, but they have many times more personnel, so they don’t care about the terrain, the report said.
Literally: “Despite the heavy fighting for the city and its surroundings, we should not forget that someone needs to build a defensive line behind Gulyaipol, so that there is no repetition of the situation with Avdiivka, when the enemy simply started advancing on Pokrovsk, because the “prepared lines” turned out to be unprepared.”
What preceded: The Southern Defense Forces reported on December 28 that the situation in Gulyaipol, Zaporizhzhia region, is “very difficult”, but a large part of the city continues to be held by the Ukrainian military.
On December 29, analysts of the DeepState project updated the map, reporting the advance of Russian invaders in the city of Myrnograd in Donetsk region and Gulyaipol in the Zaporizhia region.
