there was a talk that Horlivka was a primary target for the counter offensive.
Хай Бог вам допомагає, воїни!
Slava Ukraini!
It's genius mate.....last thing the Russians expected....this is my thinking why they have gone at Horlivka.
Obviously,bear in mind the turn in weather and supply routes around Horlivka are covered.
If Ukraine take Horlivka,Donetsk will be split in 2...of that i am sure.The Russians can't afford for it to fall.
They need reinforcements,but where from?
The South?....nope,already been stripped of resources and are struggling on the left bank.
Zaporizhzhia Region?....nope,also struggling like fuck,especially Robotyne area.
Maybe far North?....nope,weather again,coupled with a huge amount of Ukrainian Mechanized Units,which i did mention a few week back.
So now,where can they get men and equipment from quickly?
Well,where does Horlivka sit?......Smack bang in the middle of Bakhmut and Avdiivka,about 30km from each.
So which one?.....Bakhmut,where they are slowly but surely being pushed back?
Avdiivka,where Ukraine have started to retake lost positions?
The Russians could be in serious trouble in the East with this.
It's a bold move by Ukrainian command,but genius,IMO.
Heroyam Slava.
