DeepState: The RF Armed Forces are attempting to advance in the Izyum area, villages are under threat
The enemy continues to develop its success in the area of the village of Pershotravneve in the Izyum district, report analysts from the DeepState project.
“For this maneuver, the enemy has redeployed additional resources, in particular, withdrawing them from other directions, and is attempting to improve its tactical position. Simultaneously, the enemy has been recorded in the northeastern outskirts of the village of Kopanky, where they suffered losses from FPV drones operated by the SOU fighters,” the analysts wrote.
They added: it is still unknown whether the enemy has managed to secure a foothold, but the Russians managed to film a video with their tricolor flag, once again lying about the “complete” capture of the village.
“It is expected that the enemy will continue its movement from Pershotravneve towards the settlement of Kopanky to fully occupy the village, especially given their previous successes in advancing. Intense pressure, despite losses, has unfortunately always been effective for the occupiers. In the future, the Russians are likely to continue their advance towards the settlements of Novosergeevka and Chernechyna,” DeepState notes.
