After occupying Soloviwe west of Novobakhmut Ivka, Russian troops advanced on the red nod country road below towards the town of Sokir in the direction of the village of the Red Army.
According to the Russian TG channel, on May 2 the Russian army made new advances in the Olechedine direction, the Russian armed forces drove Ukraine out of the villages of Kramik and Novokalinov and continued to expand the zone of control near Arkhangelsk.
At the same time, Russian troops pose a great threat to the Ukrainian forces in Sokir, Arkhangelsk, Novobokrovsky and Novooleksandrivka on the dominant heights.
Russian assault forces have already marched towards the town of Sokir from the direction of Soloviove. It is speculated that the Russian army will take the Sokir line, which will directly form an encirclement posture on the outer line of Umansk, that is, Avadiivka, forcing the Ukrainian army to shrink the front line backwards, which can greatly alleviate the offensive pressure of the frontal Russian army.
The American media (Financial Times) said today that the strategy of the Russian army after the breakthrough in Ochredine is obvious, that is, to encircle Constantinovka on the Don River in the north and south, so as to start an offensive on the three fortresses of Donbass.
After capturing Ochletino and Nova Karinovo, the Russian army captured Kramik, forcing the Ukrainian army to withdraw to the Arkhangelsk region.
At the same time, the Russian army shifted its front and had the intention of encircling Umansk in the northern rear. Moreover, with the occupation of important settlements such as Berdech and Semenovka by the Russian army, a large number of Ukrainian troops are hovering between Uman and Semenovka, and may retreat to Umansk at any time.
If Umansk cannot be defended, the Ukrainian army will be able to retreat to the first line of defense system composed of river and natural hazards in the long run. #头条创作挑战赛#
