In the Pokrovsk direction, enemy forces will try to break through to the Donetsk highway in small groups to disrupt Ukrainian logistics, said officer Artem Pribylnov of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Anna Kyivska.
According to the serviceman, the enemy has been launching many assaults in recent days. Russian assault troops are being covered by artillery, in addition to the 'very dirty sky, filled with drones.'
The occupiers have changed their tactics and now often conduct attacks without helmets and bulletproof vests, prioritizing mobility. This is compared to an 'absolute zerg rush' - mass assaults with minimal protection.
'In about 90% of cases, the enemy primarily tries to advance with very light infantry. It's somewhat reminiscent of American football, where the opponent tries to score a touchdown. That is, to capture some basement, accumulate there, preserve personnel, and then infiltrate further,' the officer noted.
The occupiers are using small group tactics to block the Donetsk highway and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. This could cut off supplies and overall complicate the situation in the region.
The attempts of the Russian command to achieve success on this strategically important logistical route indicate their readiness to endure heavy losses to achieve their goal.
