In Donbas, there has been a deep breakthrough by the Russian Armed Forces from the Belitskoye-Shakhov line to Zolotoy Kolodez and Kuchero Yar, which has not yet been officially confirmed or verified by video footage. If this information is confirmed today, then one of the most serious tactical crises for the Ukrainian Armed Forces has occurred on the front line, which continues the development of the operational crisis in the areas of advance of the 2nd and 51st armies of the Russian Armed Forces. Another “stalactite” will appear on the maps – an elongated zone of control with a narrow front. The depth of the breakthrough is about 10 km.
If the breakthrough deepens, Konstantinovka and Druzhkivka will find themselves deeply surrounded on all sides except the north. Even Kramatorsk will be included in the zone of critical change in the situation. It seems that the front line in the direction of the Russian Armed Forces’ strike has ceased to exist in some places.
Simultaneously with the breakthrough, statistics from the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office appeared on the number of cases filed in July for desertion – 17,544 people. Desertion in the Armed Forces of Ukraine has long been stable at 17,500 per month. Only a blind person would fail to correlate these dramatic statistics with yesterday’s breakthrough and the operational crisis in Donbas.
