Counteroffensive Near Dobropillia: Russians Falter On Logistics, Reinforcements Fail To Help


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to a Ukrinform correspondent, this was reported on television by Viktor Trehubov, spokesman for the Dnipro operational-strategic group of troops, when answering questions about the details of the counteroffensive operation in the Dobropillia direction.

"They infiltrated in small groups through the first line of Ukrainian defense, and then combined these small groups with a larger group, occupied positions, and tried to break through. Then they tried to fortify what they had already captured and bring in reinforcements. At some point at this stage, they began to fail - thanks to effective countermeasures, we began to strike them, which began to destroy their logistics , and they began to gradually lose their positions. This continues to this day," he said.

Trehubov noted that the Russians“stretched their troops too thin on the front line.” They are also currently unable to provide sufficient supplies.

According to the spokesman, the Russians tried to send reinforcements, but these actions were unsuccessful.

"They actually have to push through a 'bottleneck,' which is not very convenient for them. This is where they failed: the passage they left for themselves turned out to be too narrow. And when they try to bring in some equipment or establish supplies, they are attacked from both sides," he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, over the past day, Ukrainian troops regained control of 1.3 km2 and conducted a search and destroy operation against the enemy on an area of 2.1 km2 in the Pokrovsk district of Donetsk region.
