The advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Gornyak and Selidovo significantly complicates the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). This was stated by the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushylin.
“Serious preconditions [for advancement – ed.] in the direction of Hornyak, and after Hornyak it is, of course, Selidove already. In fact, this seriously disrupts the enemy’s logistics, because the railway line runs there,” Denis Pushylin said.
Last week, the head of the DNR said that there were all conditions to take control of the town of Selidovo during the offensive in the direction of Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name – Pokrovsk).
We shall remind you that earlier, AFU infantryman Vadym Panashchenko said that the tactics of the Russians on the line of contact had changed since the start of the SMO; now the Russian military “enjoys a tenfold advantage in numbers” during assault operations.
