Analysis: Pokrovsk 'in real trouble' as Russian troops advance​


The eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk is in "real trouble" as Russian forces quickly close in, says our defence and security analyst Michael Clarke.


Moscow is focusing its efforts on the Donetsk region and a major push towards the key Ukrainian logistics hub of Pokrovsk is ramping up.

"That's where the Ukrainians are suffering. The Russians are still moving towards Pokrovsk," says Clarke.


"Pokrovsk is in real danger now, and I think the Russians are determined to try to take it
even before they take back territory [in Kursk] to prove that they're not going to be distracted from it."


 
Naomba kuuliza swali wataalam wa taarifa, hivi hawa mateka wa kivita wanajeshi wa Urusi walikamatwa hapo Kursk wanasafirishwa kupelekwa Ukraine au wanatunzwa hapo uwanja wa vita? Na kama wanasafirishwa kwenda Ukraine wanapitia njia gani wakati wadau wanasema hapa kuwa wanajeshi waliopo ndani ya Urusi wamazingirwa hakuna kutoka wala kuingia.
Maoni yangu nje ya Swali: Hivi unaweza kuzingira adui kwa urahisi hivyo yaani wanajeshi wote zaidi ya 10,000 ukawaweka mtu kati? hiyo ni vita au mchezo wa kubembea.
Ukraine wanaingia na kutoka Russia kama kwao vile. Hakuna mahali wazuiwa kwenye mpaka

Wa Ukraine walioko ndani ya Urusi watapotezwa,amini maneno yangu.
Ni suala la muda TU.
Kursk ni sehemu ndogo kati ya Urusi kubwa.
Watasumbuka ndio lakini hawatapelekea Urusi kushindwa vita.
Hata hivyo wanapoteza uwezo wao Kila siku.
Labda ukawapoteze wewe

Ukraine suffered heavy losses in failed parallel incursion attempt – WaPo

Kiev reportedly launched a botched attack in Belgorod Region, although the Russian Defense Ministry has not confirmed fighting in the area
Ukraine suffered heavy losses in failed parallel incursion attempt – WaPo


Ukrainian forces attempted to attack Russia’s Belgorod Region simultaneously with their incursion into Kursk Region, but were met with stern resistance and suffered heavy losses, the Washington Post has reported.

There is “fierce fighting underway” on the border in Belgorod Region, the newspaper claimed on Thursday, citing wounded Ukrainian troops who have been evacuated to Sumy Region in their home country.

The alleged Ukrainian attack on Belgorod Region started “four days ago” and involved a “fleet of armored vehicles [moving] in broad daylight,” one soldier was quoted as saying, describing the operation as “crazy.”

The Ukrainians reportedly tried to enter Russian territory near the Kolotilovka–Pokrovka border crossing. However, unlike in Kursk Region, where Kiev’s troops have made some gains, Russian forces in neighboring Belgorod were well-prepared to repel the incursion, the soldier claimed.

According to the Ukrainian serviceman, the area was fortified with dragon’s teeth anti-tank obstacles and was heavily mined. As soon as they approached the border, Kiev’s troops came under intense attack by Russian artillery, drones, and aerial bombs, he said.

“All our group was injured the day we arrived,” the soldier stated. Many Ukrainian fighters suffered heavy wounds, while others were killed and had to be left behind, he added.

Russia’s Defense Ministry has so far only reported on its actions and Ukrainian losses in Kursk Region, and has not confirmed any fighting in Belgorod Region

Kiev’s troops launched their incursion into Kursk on August 6, in what is their largest attack on Russian territory since the outbreak of the conflict in February 2022. Their advance has reportedly been halted by the Russian military, although Ukrainian forces remain in control of several settlements in Kursk Region.

The Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Friday that since the start of the incursion, Ukraine has lost up to 2,860 servicemen and several hundred units of military hardware, including 41 tanks, 40 APCs, and three US-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers.

Two US-made armored vehicles destroyed in Russia – MOD videos

Lancet drones were used to hit the Stryker infantry fighting vehicles in Kursk Region, the ministry has said
Source: The Russian Ministry of Defense

The Russian Defense Ministry has released more videos showing the destruction of Western-donated weapons used by Kiev during its incursion in Kursk Region.

Two US-made Stryker infantry fighting vehicles were hit by Lancet loitering munitions in the Russian border areas where fighting is taking place, according to the ministry.

One of the clips showed a military vehicle hidden in a small forest. A kamikaze drone is shown approaching it and blowing it up, with a cloud of smoke rising to the sky towards the reconnaissance drone filming the engagement.

The second video released hours later shows what appears to be several military vehicles on a rural dirt road. A Lancet then hits one of them, causing a massive explosion. Another vehicle, which was parked meters away, then accelerated away from the obliterated IFV.

The US has long claimed that it was supplying weapons to Ukraine on the condition that they would not be used inside what Washington and Kiev recognize as Russian territory, including Kursk Region.

Moscow has described the Ukraine conflict as a US-initiated proxy war against Russia, in which Ukrainian soldiers serve as ‘cannon fodder’. As of Wednesday, Ukrainian forces have suffered up to 2,300 casualties and have lost scores of armored vehicles and other heavy weapons in Kursk Region, according to Russian military estimates.

Kursk attack may get Ukrainian army in more trouble on eastern front — newspaper

The paper points out that in order to carry out the attack, Ukraine "transferred troops and weapons from its already-creaking front lines," which "risks making a bad situation worse"

NEW YORK, August 16. The Ukrainian army’s attack on Russia’s borderline Kursk Region may get Kiev in more trouble on the eastern front, the Wall Street Journal writes.

The newspaper points out that in order to carry out the attack, Ukraine "transferred troops and weapons from its already-creaking front lines," which "risks making a bad situation worse." Kiev "is also redeploying troops from the eastern front to Kursk, leaving units here even more stretched," the Wall Street Journal writes.

Ukrainian commanders admit that the Kursk attack did not make Russian forces "ease up." Despite the approval of US military aid packages, Ukraine remains "desperately low on artillery ammunition," the paper notes, adding, however, that "the biggest factor, officers say, is the lack of manpower."

On August 6, Russia’s borderline Kursk Region came under a massive attack from Ukraine. The majority of residents in the region’s border areas have been temporarily resettled and are safe now. A federal state of emergency was declared in the region.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukraine has lost up to 2,640 troops, 37 tanks and 32 armored personnel carriers since fighting began in the Kursk area. The Russian army continues its operation to eliminate the enemy.

Russian paratroopers destroy Ukrainian army’s Starlink satellite antennas in Kherson area

Russian forces carry out combat operations in the daytime and at night using thermal imagers installed on quadcopters

MOSCOW, August 15..Paratroopers from Russia’s Ulyanovsk Airborne Force formation destroyed the Ukrainian army’s Starlink satellite antennas by explosive quadcopters on the right bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson Region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Thursday.

"The paratroopers’ UAV units actively employ explosive quadcopters to destroy Ukrainian manpower and enemy satellite communications systems in the Kakhovka area," the ministry said in a statement.

After launching an explosive-carrying quadcopter, a UAV operator of the Russian paratroopers detected satellite antennas and relay systems for communication with the Ukrainian army’s units and UAVs in nearly destroyed buildings on the right bank of the Dnieper River. The operator determined targets for destruction - well-camouflaged communications equipment - and dropped grenade launcher rounds and hand grenades. Accurate hits knocked out the enemy’s communications, the ministry said.

Russian forces carry out combat operations in the daytime and at night using thermal imagers installed on quadcopters. In that frontline sector alone, the Russian paratroopers’ UAV units have wiped out hundreds of Ukrainian militants and dozens of various combat vehicles and satellite communications antennas, the ministry said.
