What will the battle for Vugledar mean for the Russians and for us
Ugledar is of key importance for the Russian Federation, it is a strategically important point of communications in the south of Donbas, a border for the deployment of the future Ukrainian offensive on the Crimean Corridor.
The capture of Ugledar will significantly improve the strategic position of the Russian army in the Donbass, and will allow the defense to be deepened.
The goal of the Russian command in the 2023 campaign is to capture the entire Donbas, or push our army away from the Crimean corridor.
To capture Ugledar, the Russians concentrated their best forces — brigades of marines and airborne troops, ammunition stocks.
For us, the successful defense of Ugledar is a task of maximum losses to the Russian elite brigades.
We remember how the Russians tried to capture Vugledar for the first time in the fall, and stopped in the village of Pavlivka near the city. The Russian regular army is very sensitive to losses, and in the Russian media there was then a wave that the Russian marines were defeated.
Ugledar is a convenient line of defense, it is on the heights, the enemy is advancing from the lowlands, there are opportunities to inflict a new defeat on the enemy.
The battle for Vugledar will determine the entire course of the subsequent war in southern Ukraine in 2023.
