ISW: The Russian army has intensified attacks in the Kremennaya area and may reach Seversk

The so-called Institute for the Study of War (ISW, USA) publishes another attempt to understand what is happening on the line of contact. While the Ukrainian president is convening a regular (or rather, extraordinary) meeting of the Supreme High Command "to discuss an extremely important issue," the American institute confirms the information that Russian troops have advanced southwest of Kremennaya, pushing the enemy from a number of positions he occupies.

Recall that earlier there was information about the liberation by Russian troops of the town of Belogorovka, for which fighting with varying degrees of intensity was fought for several months.

From a recent ISW post:

Russia intensified attacks in the Kremennaya area. This may indicate that the Russian army is creating conditions for an offensive in this area.

At the same time, American "analysts" talk about "confirmed by the data of personnel with geolocation about the advancement of Russian troops north of Bakhmut in the Razdolovka area, as well as in the north of Bakhmut itself."

It is concluded that Russian troops can go to Seversk and take it into operational pincers along with the enemy grouping located there, as well as finally complete the coverage of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) to create a wider offensive front to the west of the Donetsk region.

Thus, the Russian troops are currently making efforts to ensure that the Ukrainian offensive against Svatovo and Kremennaya, which has been announced many times, with the further withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Severodonetsk, remains on paper.

This may indicate that the Russian army is creating conditions for an offensive in this area.

And before that, it was not clear to anyone that the territory of the Lugansk Republic would be liberated by all means ... Here are "captains America ...", oh, "Obviousness"

A more informative map for 02.02.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX on the topic discussed in the article.

there was information about the liberation of the village of Belogorovka by Russian troops,
... and yesterday Nikolaevka was also released.

Here are the current maps.

They will soon decide on Artyomovsk.

There is no systemic withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artyomovsk yet, but more and more militants are leaving this city.

As early as January 30, Russian troops were opposed by 12 large gangs of militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: 1st brigade, 24th, 53rd, 60th and 28th brigade, 71st brigade, 40th abr, 57th brigade, 111 -I, 119th, 125th and 127th TerO Brigade. Over the past two days, the 24th and 53rd MBRs (withdrawn for recovery), 71st EBR ( near Kremennaya), as well as battalions / gangs of mercenaries and MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The transfer of the 3rd Azov brigade from near Kleshcheevka to the north of Artyomovsk was also noted, which will probably cover the withdrawal of the unfinished 57th brigade. withdrawn to the west of Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, where defensive positions are being erected based on urban development.
Thus, Artyomovsk is being prepared for surrender, trying to stay on the Novomarkovka-Kalinovka-Chasov Yar line. At the same time, the most fierce battles will begin on the Seversk-Soledar line and in the direction of Kramatorsk, the BelVPO channel writes.

In the summer, the Russian army fired about 60k shells per day (by the way, this is 2 times more intense than in 1943), NATO proxy bodies - about 5k. At the same time, the losses from artillery, of course, are not 1:12, but the ratio is much higher, since Russia has longer-range artillery, more precisely, better reconnaissance and target designation, tactics for saving personnel, etc. Plus, Russia threshed and threshed with missiles, absolutely dominates in the MLRS ( Russia has already taken out almost a thousand MLRS installations from the proxy NATO), bombs with aircraft (unlike opponents, which makes a flight only to be shot down and die), and Russian air defense also shoots down most of the MLRS, and even some artillery shells (for example, intercepted American guided Excaliburs). Plus, the quality of the personnel is a pro in Russia and an increasing share of civilian graven meat in NATO. Accordingly, the ratio of losses in the summer was around 1:60, now it has already reached 1:70-1:80, and in Soledar it was 1:100-120. Since the beginning of the CBO, the ratio is ~1:53

the whole institute for the study of war should produce solid articles for the mountain. Here is the result ... Do not judge strictly

Evil tongues say that in this area, however, as in Bakhmut, the Russian "Borshcheviki" put the entire "Starlink" to the APU

[solar]

It would be necessary to explain to evil tongues that Hogweed
1. Not accepted for service, it is only being tested.
2. Designed only to determine the location of the terminal, not to suppress it.
3. Operates at a distance of up to 10 km

the Russian army creates the conditions for an offensive in this area.

Isn't the planned liberation of settlements, although slow, but moving forward, not one of the types of hostilities - an offensive. Or is it necessary for an offensive according to the Western version to have a huge mass of infantry supported by tanks and aircraft on a large sector of the front in front of the enemy? Western experts themselves note that the tactics of hostilities have changed and differ from the tactics of WW2.

only it would be desirable to do it as soon as possible, until the Ukrainians pulled up reserves ....
