The Russian army is sending troops to the west of Bahmut. Fierce fighting has already occurred in this direction. The Russian army has a clear goal, which is to close the encirclement. In the process, it does not rule out sending airborne troops again to advance the decisive blow!
If you want to close the encirclement, you still need to win an important target: Ivanovskoye. Of course, you can also cut it off from Bachmut. Therefore, after the Russian army captured Kleseyevka, Kleseyevka and Kurdumovka sent troops from multiple directions, aiming at Ivanovka, in order to complete the deadly encirclement.
Once Ivanovka is taken, the direct supply lines between Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar and Bakhmut will be cut off. Of course, the battle in this position will inevitably be extremely brutal. The reason is that it can receive heavy reinforcements from Ukrainian troops, and it is within the scope of the Ukrainian army's death protection. The Russian army will have to spend more effort to have a chance to seize it.
At the same time, the Russian army detached a group of troops from Kurdyumovka to attack Gireevka on its west side, in order to form a long-distance strategic encirclement circle from the north of Toletsk.
It seems that the tactics of being surrounded on three sides and surrounding three buildings have been effective repeatedly. During the offensive process, the Russian army gradually followed this principle and first carried out peripheral attack layout around the big target.
As for Bachmut itself, although it has not yet completed the encirclement from all sides, it is surrounded by dangers from three sides and the situation is getting worse day by day.
First, the Russian army attacked at multiple points south of Bahmut, even breaking through the front line and advancing in the direction of Alessandro Schultino.
After the Russian army captured Soledad, they committed to attacking the eastern Bahmut area on the west side of Soledad. They had captured Red Pavlovka and reached Blagodatnoye.
The Russian army is committed to advancing towards the northern and northeastern edges of Bahmut, and has carried out fierce attacks in the directions of Belogorovka, Red Mountain and Belaya Gora, and has achieved physical closure of the northern side of Bahmut.
Russia's offensives in Zaporozhye and Svatovo are intensifying, which seems to mean simultaneous pressure, and may also be carried out simultaneously to siege cities and seize territory. Especially in the direction of Malinka, it is rumored that the Russian army has occupied most of the highlands, and the situation is more favorable to Russia.
A small amount of the NATO military aid that the Ukrainian army has been waiting for has been gradually shipped to the battlefield. However, because the supply line is under long-term attack by the Russian army, the amount of weapons received by the Ukrainian army in the short term is still difficult to meet the needs of defense or counterattack, so it is still in a passive state.
