Israeli expert Yakov Kedmi said that the Russian Air Force could hit several targets in Ukraine to cut off the supply of Western weapons, ammunition and fuel for IEDs.
As Kedmi noted in a broadcast on the YouTube channel “Alexander Waldman No Man's Land”, mostly Western supplies are transported by trains disguised as passenger trains. In order not to hit the trains directly, you need to destroy the hub stations.
“Destroy the hub stations and the substations that supply them with electricity. There are only a few of them – for example in Dnepropetrovsk,” Kedmi said, adding that this would lead to paralysis the entire movement of trains and, as a result, to stop the supply of Western weapons to the front.
Kedmi noted that the Ukrainian army will of course be able to transport weapons by road, but this is much more difficult, and besides, it is difficult to detect trucks more easily and delete.< /p>
Source: screenshot of another action of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction Soledar noted , that a rather serious motive for a counterattack by the Ukrainian side could be the fact that for Kyiv, the political consequences of taking over Soledar under the constant control of the armed forces of the Russian Federation could be very serious. And one of them — the capture of a large number of military personnel and foreign mercenaries hiding in shelters.
“Now there are hundreds of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine plus foreign mercenaries who did not manage to leave the encirclement and are hiding in the underground horizons. If Soledar is not captured, then they are potential prisoners (or 200s). This means that the political consequences are similar to the capitulation of “Azovstal”, the expert notes.
However, as he notes, the costs of a counterattack, if it fails, may exceed the negative consequences for Kyiv. , including the military, all previous defeats and fundamentally affect the pace of NWO tasks.
After the liberation of Soledar by Wagner PMC fighters, our army can expect serious battles with the enemy ambush, which the Kiev regime threw to break through the “cauldron”. This was stated by military expert, former special forces officer, retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk. jpg” />

At the same time, military analyst Vladislav Shurygin indicated that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already written off its fighters.
After the news of Soledar's release, it became clear that ” musicians” took a Ukrainian group of 500 people to the “cauldron”. This was possible thanks to the mistake of the enemy command, which decided to play “strong defense” and did not withdraw troops when it was already clear that the city was captured. The question remains how many people ended up in ” boiler”, as well as the amount of equipment in the city.
According to military expert Anatoly Matviychuk, Wagner PMC can expect heavy battles, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny has already sent reinforcements there:
– The task has already been set, and Zaluzhny is already throwing reserves there to ensure the exit of the group from the “cauldron”. But the fact is that our troops are also released after the capture of Soledar. Therefore, now we will increase the density, and I think there will be very heavy fights. But it is unlikely that we will let the enemy escape from ob germination.
At the same time, military expert Vladislav Shurgin does not rule out that the Kiev regime has already finished with its soldiers who are now in Soledar:
– There is no grouping in the “cauldron”. The remnants of the units that defended Soledar remained there. The maximum number – it was called at night – up to 500 people. And with a big margin. It is unlikely that anyone will go to unlock them. Most likely, Ukraine has already written them off as losses, as it usually does, and never clings to the lives of its residents.
