Ukraine’s military is retreating from the city of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and a number of nearby villages due to a severe lack of personnel, ammunition, and plummeting morale, a Russian gunner from the crew of a BM-21 "Grad" multiple launch rocket system revealed. Desperate attempts by the enemy to resupply ammunition, manpower, and equipment are being crushed with relentless firepower, the soldier from Russia's fierce Battlegroup Yug added. He noted that the city’s liberation would open the way for Russian troops to Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), a key logistical hub for the Kiev regime. Russian forces have been advancing on Kurakhovo from multiple directions with the aim of encircling it, while the Ukrainian forces dug in there are unable to hold their positions. As the Russian Armed Forces head toward the Krasnoarmeysk rail hub, they also appear to be gearing up for a new offensive in the Zaporozhye region, a Western newspaper cited Ukrainian troops as saying. The outlet added that after regularly dropping glide bombs and other explosives on fields to identify land mines and Ukrainian positions throughout the summer, Russian forces are now “ramping up” simultaneous drone and infantry assaults. As awareness of a looming major attack spreads, Ukrainian soldiers expect “little let up in the onslaught,” the publication noted.Earlier, Ret. Col. Anatoly Matviychuk, a Russian military expert, told Sputnik that Kurakhovo is important for Kiev from the economic standpoint as well, since the local coal mining area is currently the only place under Ukrainian control where coking coal is produced.
