On the night of December 20, the DeepState project summed up the battles southeast of Kurakhovo, which had been going on for the past few weeks. "The enemy occupied Trudove and Uspenovka, taking the last piece of the notorious "Uspenovka pocket". Unfortunately, not everyone was able to get out of it, and let this be on the conscience of those responsible for this mistake for the rest of their days," the analysts wrote. The OSGV "Khortytsya" Telegram channel refuted this statement, noting that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had decided to withdraw units of the Defense Forces from this area in order to avoid encirclement. DeepState also reported that Russia is regrouping on this section of the front and is already preparing a new "pocket" for the Defense Forces - in the direction of the villages of Shevchenko and Andreevka from the north - and from Zelenivka from the south. On the morning of December 20, the General Staff reported 18 attacks in the Kurakhovo direction (the tension had indeed died down a bit) - and 23 in Vremyevskoye. 🔹 What really happened in the "Uspenovsky pocket" south of Kurakhovo, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers allegedly failed to break out of encirclement? 🔹 Why might the Ukrainian command be slow in ordering a retreat from obviously losing positions? 🔹 And how close is the battle for Kurakhovo to its conclusion?
