Russian-US talks "one-on-one", after which Trump will visit Moscow. It is said that multiple European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Finland, are getting anxious.
Regarding Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska, European countries have issued different voices from the ones they had when they were born - Ukraine's borders should not be changed by force.
However, they are not really worried about Ukraine, but rather concerned that their own fate might be decided by secret deals between US and Russian leaders. Of course, Ukraine is also worried about its own fate - "my fate is not mine to decide."
On August 13th, according to the Russian TG channel "Military Chronicle," the area of Prechynye east of Rostov-on-Don has been completely cleared by the Russian forces, which will open a direct route for the Russian forces to break through the eastern front of Rostov-on-Don.
Currently, not only in the direction north of Red Army Village, but also the fighting in the western Udachnye is very intense. This includes the Stupochi segment east of Rostov-on-Don.
According to the situation map from the Difgen blogger, yesterday the Russian forces also captured the settlement of Pankivka west of Rostov-on-Don.
These days, the Russian forces have intensified attacks on the settlements of Kramatorsk-Druzhkivka. The tactical intention of the Russian forces may be to disrupt the deployment of the reserve and rotating units of the Ukrainian forces in this direction.
According to the latest information released by the Russian TG channel "Military Chronicle": From the situation where the Russian forces have cut off the T0514 road between Kramatorsk and Dobropillya, it is also fully proven that the Russian forces are not in a hurry to resolve the situation at Red Army Village.
Under the circumstances where the Ukrainian forces continue to strengthen the defense line around the Red Army Village, the Russian forces are taking a detour to the north, cutting off the channels and important tactical nodes of the Ukrainian forces, and cutting off supplies to the Red Army Village. This strategy aims to dilute the defensive forces of the Ukrainian forces in the Red Army Village direction, making it easier to solve the Red Army Village issue later.
In other words, the approach to the Red Army Village is to encircle without annihilating, to attack reinforcements. The main focus is to move northward, cut off the channels and important tactical nodes of the Ukrainian forces, and cut off supplies to the Red Army Village. This way, it will be much easier to deal with the Red Army Village issue later.
