Russia Amassing Tens of Thousands of Troops at Key Ukrainian Town waiting for f..K...
As Russia has amassed up to 25,000 soldiers around strategic settlement of Chasiv Yar, Ukrainian military said on Sunday, the Kremlin claims to have seized another village in the Donetsk region.
"The enemy has amassed a grouping of 20,000-25,000 servicemen" around Chasiv Yar, Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Khortytsia grouping of forces, told Ukrainian television in remarks reported by domestic media.
Newsweek has reached to Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
Chasiv Yar, a key town that sits west of the Russian-controlled Donetsk city of Bakhmut, was described by the U.S. think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), as a "fortress city." Capturing Chasiv Yar would help Russia attack the rest of Ukraine's significant defensive settlements, the ISW has evaluated.
Seizing Chasiv Yar could also allow Russia to cut off the settlement of Kostiantynivka, which would compromise the "backbone of Ukraine's defense" in the Donetsk region, the ISW said.
Ukraine's army chief, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, said last month that Moscow is attempting to "break through our defenses west of Bakhmut," take control of Chasiv Yar, and "create conditions for further advance" toward the Donetsk city of Kramatorsk that lies northwest of Chasiv Yar.
"Ukrainian and Russian forces continued to fight near Chasiv Yar on May 4, but there were no confirmed changes to this front line," the ISW assessed on Saturday. So, the Kremlin wants to capture Chasiv Yar by May 9, Syrskyi said
