The occupation of the city of Kurakhove is the key goal of the Russians
Kurakhove is a strategic priority for the start of the offensive on Pokrovsk.
The occupation of the city of Kurakhove is the key goal of the Russian troops, because it makes it possible to quickly capture Pokrovsk.
Ivan Tymochko, the head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, stated this on the air of the “Espresso” TV channel.
The Russians can use the industrial potential of Pokrovsk for further operations in the direction of Sloviansk or Dnipropetrovsk region. Therefore, according to the chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the occupiers will not destroy the city.
“Capturing the destroyed city will greatly complicate the conduct of hostilities and the organization of troops, so the enemy hopes to occupy Pokrovsk in a relatively intact state in order to use its infrastructure,” he said.
