The colonel explained the importance of the breakthrough of the Russian Armed Forces in Dnepropetrovsk

Retired Colonel, military expert Anatoly Matviychuk explained the importance of breaking through the units of the Vostok group of forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation 4.5 kilometers deep into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Military expert Matviychuk in an interview with aif.ru On Wednesday, October 1, he noted that flanking maneuvers stretch the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and open up opportunities for attacks on the flank and rear, which demoralizes the enemy. According to him, Recruiting itself is of tactical, not strategic importance: its capture will improve the position of Russian troops.

The expert added that a deep breakthrough in the Dnipropetrovsk region contributes to the creation of a buffer zone of security. He stressed that the main purpose of the fighting is the formation of a sanitary frontier, not the annexation of the region. According to him, despite the remaining forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for counterattacks, the Ukrainian units continue to retreat.

The engine of war: what will the transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine lead to?
