So, the Ukrainian armed forces have
begun fighting to take over the first

positions of the enemy's main defense
line in the Tokmak-Melitopol direction.

The advance units of the AFU have already managed,
at least in one section, to penetrate to a depth

of up to 1 km into the first position
of the enemy's main line of defense.

Let's try to understand how the
enemy can act in this situation,

and what his reaction to
the recent events may be....

The first thing that catches the eye is the
rather nervous reaction of the enemy command.

That, in turn, resulted in an attempt to pull
to the Novoprokopivka area, as well as to the

flanks of this area, the maximum possible number
of more or less combat-ready forces and means,

which are still at the disposal of
the Russian command in this direction.

After the liberation of the village of Robotino by
the advanced units of the AFU, a gap was created

in the enemy's combat order in the direction of
the village of Kopani. Because after liberating

the village, the AFU overcame the local enemy
fortifications, which were just located between it

and the village of Kopani. Having found themselves
south of them, they got the opportunity to turn

their right flank in the western direction and
start an attack on the village of Kopani....

Precisely because of these circumstances,
the enemy began to move their battalions

from Vasylivka direction to the area of Kopani
village. And now, hastily, with their help,

is trying to organize the defense between
this village and already liberated Rabotino.

And even this is not the main threat for the
enemy now. The most unpleasant things for

him are happening somewhat to the east - between
Novoprokopivka and Verbove. Where, by coincidence,

not only the first positions of the enemy's
main defense line "turned out", but also the

main advance of the AFU advanced units in the
general southern direction is taking place.

Which the enemy, obviously, cannot stop yet.

The losses of the Russian forces in
this direction are very significant,

and they are forced to urgently transfer
reinforcements from other places,

while acting quite chaotically. The occupants
have also increased the number of air strikes,

as artillery means are not enough
to stop the advance of the AFU.

The enemy is faced with the problem: how and where
best to reinforce its main line of defense ? This

is mainly due to the fact that Ukrainian troops
are constantly expanding their territory by

wedging in, and it is difficult for the enemy to
decide how best to defend against this expansion.

Forces and means at the enemy,

in order to simply "stop" the advance of
the AFU towards Tokmak - not so much...

I think the main question now is another - how
he will use them.... And whether the Russian

command will find anything "substantial" to
hold the main defense line in the near future.

For, the "crackling" in the
Novoprokopivka and Verbove

area can already be heard quite clearly in
Tokmak, which is less than 30 km away...

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Attack
has canceled the "West 23" exercise.

The exercise in 2021 was the
largest since the Soviet era.

However, it has now become clear even to the
Russian leadership that they were held mainly for

show, and no practical effect was expected from
them. In addition, the Russian Armed Forces have

too few troops not involved in Ukraine to conduct
an exercise of this scale. And this is good news.
