Defense Express: Chasiv Yar will become the third "jump" of the RF Armed Forces on Avdiivka-Bakhmut line

The town Chasiv Yar could become the third "jump" for the Russian army along the Avdiivka-Bakhmut line. It is unlikely that the enemy will move its forces to the south.

This was stated by Defense Express analyst Sergiy Zgurets, emphasizing that the distance from Bakhmut to Avdiivka was also not very long, UNIAN reports.

“The distance from Avdiivka to Bakhmut is not very long. Therefore, I think that the enemy’s attempts to advance to Chasiv Yar will be the third component in this section of the front. I don’t think that the Russians will now push back the accumulated forces from the Avdiivka direction to the south. Because this looks irrational ", he said on Espresso .

In his opinion, in the near future Russia intends to finally stabilize and restore its forces in Avdiivka. But it is possible that the enemy will at the same time try to put pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the front line from Stepove to Severne, Zgurets said.

Also, Ukrainians may soon see an intensification of fighting near Novomykhailivka. All of the mentioned settlements are near Avdiivka, so Russia will probably try to level the front line by taking control of these areas as well, the analyst emphasized.
