Why It Matters
The interview was given in the context of ongoing hostilities in eastern Ukraine, where Russian troops are conducting an offensive to capture key cities and agglomerations.
Russian troops achieved success on several sectors of the front during the summer months. Military observer, co-founder of the Watfor project Sergei Poletaev spoke about this in an interview with Lenta.ru.
“Firstly, this is the expansion of the security zone in the Kharkov region. “To the east of Volchansk, almost a half-cauldron has formed,” he pointed out.
The second major success of the Russian Armed Forces was the capture of Konstantinovka, which is part of a broader operation to capture the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration. In the same area, Russian troops reached the high ground near Rai-Alexandrovka and began to descend towards Nikolaevka, a satellite town of Slavyansk.
Finally, serious clashes are taking place in Dobropolye, and less noticeable, but very important events are now unfolding in the Zaporozhye region, where fighting began in Orekhovo, the expert added.
