Kyiv will suffer heavy losses due to Russia’s advance in the east – Newsweek – World

NEW YORK, November 2. /TASS/. Ukraine will face difficulties associated with the rapid advance of the Russian Armed Forces into the Donbass, including the loss of personnel, Newsweek magazine reports.

The article notes that “October was a difficult month for Ukraine,” so there are “cracks” in the Ukrainian military that Russia can exploit in its operations. As Kyiv tries unsuccessfully to persuade its allies to authorize strikes against Russia using long-range Western weapons, Russia’s “pace of advance and air capabilities could have serious consequences for Ukraine, which will not be able to bring construction equipment closer to the front, at least not without large troop losses.”

On October 3, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the release of Ugledar. The city is an important logistics hub of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The liberation of Ugledar will allow Russian troops to reach the next line of Ukrainian defense in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, push the Ukrainian army away from the DPR capital Donetsk, and reduce the number of shellings of Elenovka and the outskirts of Volnovakha. . It will also increase pressure on the Ukrainian battle group in Kurakhovo and logistics hubs on the way to the city of Zaporozhye and allow the Russian army to continue its offensive in the area.

After the liberation of Ugledar, Russian troops continued their offensive. It is noteworthy that the Russian Ministry of Defense recently reported that over the past week, 12 settlements in the DPR and the Kharkov region were liberated.
