Quote: “These (the settlements the Russians focus on – ed.) will most likely be Klishchiivka, Kalynivka and, of course, Chasiv Yar. The settlement of New-York in Donetsk Oblast is also on this axis.”
Details: Voloshyn adds that the town of Chasiv Yar is at a dominant height, so seizing it would mean a certain breakthrough on the Bakhmut front for the Russians.
Quote: “The Russian army has been trying to seize it for days. They do not care about their losses in manpower and equipment. A considerable amount of them has already been destroyed on the approaches and roads to Chasiv Yar.”
More details: Voloshyn stated that the Russians had concentrated 20-25,000 of their troops on this axis. The troops consist not only of professional soldiers but also of mobilised persons and the citizens of other countries.
