On the Russian side, another psychological
operation is being distributed. Allegedly,

the Ukrainian liberation forces have begun
to liberate Horlivka and the AFU have made

progress on the western outskirts of the city,
which has been under enemy control since 2016.

I am of course with both hands "in favor",
but the theses spread by enemy propagandists

have nothing to do with reality at all.
The aim of these Info-Psy Ops is to offer

hope and later induce disappointment
when those hopes are not realized.

The occupiers are trying to pass off local
tactical battles on the outskirts of the city,

which have been going on there for almost 10
years, as a combined-arms offensive operation.

Do you have any idea what kind of effort
it takes to liberate this huge city?

After all, Horlivka is the 4th largest
city in Ukraine by area - 422 square

kilometers! This is 20% more than the Gaza Strip.

Several important highways pass through
or near the city. Including the M-03 as

the main supply arm for the
occupiers from the Russia.

Yes, the AFU are close, but this direction is
reliably covered by a network of terricons.

And this means that it is necessary to
storm head-on, and no one will do that.

To accomplish this task it is necessary to
free everything from Kreminna to Debaltseve.

Including Bakhmut, Svitlodarsk, Vuhlehirsk. This
is a front several hundred kilometers wide, 15

to 70 kilometers deep. This operation will be at
the level of the potential liberation of Crimea.

In order to liberate the city, it is necessary
to conduct a strategic offensive operation and

involve at least 150 thousand military personnel
along with thousands of pieces of equipment.

Therefore, it is very funny to read from
the occupiers or an article on Time,

which talked about the liberation of
Horlivka by the forces of one brigade.

Liberation will happen, but one must understand
the details in order to distinguish enemy

disinformation from reality. The reality is
somewhat different, and it is described above.

Briefly on Avdiivka.

Russian troops are preparing for
the third wave of the offensive,

now there is a process of accumulation
of mechanized component. This is clearly

evidenced by the redeployment of
the tank regiment and division.

Predictably, the enemy will try within the
framework of this wave of the offensive to

reach the right side of the railroad, gain
a foothold and develop the offensive in the

direction and subsequent occupation of
the village of Stepove. This will allow

them to take fire control of highway 0542 and
start moving in its direction and Berdychi.

They will also try to break into
the Coke Plant industrial zone.

Obviously, from the south the enemy will
attack from Vodiane to Sieverne in order

to capture it and establish fire control over
Route 0542, followed by a move to Tonenke.

I think that the Russian command more adequately
perceives its capabilities now, and therefore,

physically cut 0542 and encircle Avdiivka
plan for the 4th wave of the offensive,

which can be organized in early December.

Two important points.

The third wave of the offensive will not
come as a surprise to the Ukrainian command.

Everything said earlier should have been
implemented by the enemy a week ago,

during their first offensive by two echelons.
But, the encirclement of Avdiivka in a few days,

turned into a battle of foreheads against
the Coke Plant fence for the second month.

Therefore, no matter how gloomy the
scenario described above is perceived,

it is not yet a fact that the enemy
will be able to fully realize it.
