- In recent days, Russian forces have likely reinforced their defences around the occupied town of Tokmak in southern Ukraine, which is approximately 16 km behind the current front line.
- Russia is likely deploying additional checkpoints, ‘hedgehog’ anti-tank defences and digging new trenches in the area, which is held by its 58th Combined Arms Army.
- Tokmak is preparing to become a lynchpin of Russian’s second main line of defences. Improvements to the town’s defences likely indicates Russia’s growing concern about Ukrainian tactical penetrations of the first main defensive line to the north.

UAF should target the Russian trench-digging equipment with simple armed drones! They are probably not well protected with air defense assets.
Let the Ruskies reinforce Tokmak all they want. Absolutely surround the city, choking it off. Take all taste for war from the ruskies making them beg! Other forces/groups continue south, reach the sea and cut the hi-way.
Russian leaders never tell the truth why does any country or any of the world listen to or publish their lies ! Russia is not a country , it is a criminal enterprise ,
Surprise them with diversified approaches or tactics that sounds unexpected in different areas unprepared . Keep it up and God be with righteousness ...
Love and blessings from Lebanon to the world...
@Wael, keep making a difference surprising all with quantum leaps ...
A difference is being made step by step and with time it would make a greater momentum forward in leaps and bounds .
Steps forward ...strike at the train supply chains in Southern Ukrain ...
