Russian The occupiers are advancing in the Donetsk region.
BILD reported this information, as reported by URA-Inform.
BILD reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may end up in a cauldron near Toretsk in the Donetsk region . Although the occupiers have not yet managed to break through, the Russian army is advancing further.
It is noted that to the southwest of the city, Russian troops have not managed to break through the fortifications of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, which were built before February 2022. However, Now the occupiers are advancing on Toretsk from the west – through Zheleznoye and Severnoye, and also from the south – through the village of New York.
As a result of these offensive actions by the Russians, a salient has formed in the Ukrainian positions. Analysts have depicted it highlighted in blue on a map of the fighting.
“There, the Russians are trying to create a kind of cauldron. This means that the Ukrainians must retreat if they fail to recapture the residential areas of New York. Otherwise, they are completely surrounded there, which they do not want. Therefore, most likely, they will leave there soon,” he believes BILD analyst Julian Röpke.
