While massive russian 🇷🇺 airstrikes continue north of Pokrovsk (new maps on the thread), russian forces are now threathening both this strategic city and supply roads to Donbass.

This map I made with @Pouletvolant3 is showing the main ukrainian 🇺🇦 supply roads

Just few days ago, I mapped 450 new russian airstrikes in 8 days, north of Pokrovsk.

This thread was widely shared, because It shows some data we forgot to analyse, the massive airstrike campaign by russian airforce.

Here in blue, the 450 airstrikes in 8 days.

As @Playfra0 detailed in his remarkable thread, russian forces managed to obtain a local breakthrough north of Pokrovsk city.

If they occupy Rodynske and Krasnyi Lyman, Pokrovsk and Myrnohrod will have to be slowly evacuated.

It's been weeks, even months that we saw russian army switched its focus to the encirclement of Pokrovsk from the north-east.

But there is a more bigger objective...

These days, russian infantry are making more rapid progress, especially in the direction of Dobropilla.

Sout-West of Pokrovsk, russian army started again to push. Some DRG even entered Pokrovsk due to manpower shortage of a ukrainian brigade.

Here is the update of the airstrikes map. I added more than a hundred new airstrikes in this small portion of the frontline for the last 4 days !

Most of them can be seen near Rodynske and in the Dobropilla direction.

It shows exactly where russian forces are willing to progress.

As I wrote, I gave informations to @Pouletvolant3 who mapped ukrainian supply roads, in yellow.

Pokrovsk was once the main supply Hub for all south-eastern frontline. Now, the strategic city is isolated and not useful anymore.

Instead, ukrainian logistics are using the Pavlohrad-Lozova-Kramatorsk road to supply the big Donbass cities.

Dobropilla is also being used as a crucial and local supply hub.

If russian offensive is not stopped, they will continue their path to the north, with the ultimate goal to avoid fighting for the big Donbass cities.

If Rodysnke falls, ukrainian forces will be forced to retreat from the fields to defend the center and gain prrecious time.

Moscow is now pushing directly between the Kramatorsk-Kostiantynivka and Pokrovsk-Myrnohrod agglomerations.

Supply roads are threathened and ukrainian forces are overextended despite lacking men...

Almost forgot about the hole in the new Donbass line. Like, why would you let a hole like this while russian forces are advancing directly on this direction ???

Sometimes, they are digging very fast, sometimes they are completly forgetting some parts.
