Russian Armed Forces try to advance in the area northwest of Poltavka and northeast of Vladimirovka. Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War have announced the situation in the Dobropillya region. Thus, Z-channels wrote that Putin's army is trying to bypass Vladimirovka in the Sofiyivka area. They are also bypassing the Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the Shakhovo area. The Russian offensive and the nature of the attacks confirm an August 18 assessment by Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets, who said that units of the Russian 8th Combined Arms Army were advancing in the area east of Vladimirovka, threatening the flank of Ukrainian forces that were trying to cut off the base of the Russian breakthrough east and northeast of Dobropillya. The base of the breach is relatively narrow compared to its depth and runs along the line Dorozhnoe - Mayak - Vladimirovka. Mashovets estimated on August 18 that Russian forces attacking east of Vladimirovka were advancing more slowly than Ukrainian forces. Mashovets reported on August 19 that fighting had begun for Mayak. This indicates that Russian forces no longer control Mayak and other settlements that form the base of the breakthrough, and that Ukrainian forces are now threatening the very center of the breakthrough. Russian war correspondents claim that Russian troops have also advanced toward Veseloye and that fierce fighting continues in the Zolotoy Kolodets area. An officer in the Ukrainian brigade operating in the Dobropolye area reported on August 19 that Ukrainian troops had repelled a Russian attack in the Veseloye area and that Russian troops were trying to bring in reserves to reinforce the breakthrough. Russian breakthrough tactics and low manpower density along the Pokrovskoe front appear to have allowed Russian forces to regain limited tactical maneuver to the east and southeast of Dobropillya, at least temporarily. Both Russian and Ukrainian forces in the Pokrovskoe direction have low manpower density along the front, particularly in the Dobropillya area, and do not have permanent defensive positions, but rather intermittent outposts on the front lines. The terrain in the Dobropillya area features wide open fields and a low population density. All of these factors contribute to rapid tactical success even in a trench warfare environment, allowing Russian forces to attempt a flanking maneuver to support a tactically significant breakthrough. Russian forces do not appear to have established a continuous defensive line within their narrow penetration to the east and northeast of Dobropillya, likely in part due to the infiltration tactics used to achieve the breakthrough. The tactical breakthrough is also a reflection of this low manpower density, and the relatively sparse frontline positions combined with the favorable terrain in the area may allow some degree of tactical maneuver. Russian forces will likely be unable to regain operational maneuverability on the battlefield in the near term, largely due to the threat that Ukrainian drones pose to Russian armor. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism
