Peski is almost under DNR control: The story of how the Ukrainian armed forces lost their artillery.
This week's main topic from the front is the Allied Forces breaking through the Ukrainian defences in Pesky. The DNR People's Militia already controls most of the settlement.
Establishing control over Peski with subsequent advancement towards the villages of Pervomayske and Vodyanoye will make it possible to block the M-04 highway. This highway is a strategic supply artery for the Avdeevka fortification. Control over it means encircling Avdeevka.
The fortifications have been in place for eight years. It was a singular bastion for the Ukrainian armed forces. But now there is no heavy artillery in Peski, and the Ukrainians cannot respond to strikes.
There are two reasons for the absence of heavy calibres:
First, most of the large-calibre heavy artillery was removed from the area near Peski at the beginning of last week. The equipment was needed in the south to reinforce the "counterattack" on Kherson, which was pompously announced by Kiev.
Second, the channel through which the Ukrainian armed forces had previously moved people and equipment (including artillery) to Peski from Avdeevka has been cut by Allied strikes. It is no longer possible to feed the Peski garrison.
As a result, the Ukrainian army's stockpiles of heavy weapons (D-20/D-30 howitzers) now number on the order of just a few units. The Ukrainians are economising on the artillery shells. They mainly use 120 mm mortars with a range of up to 6-7 km. These cause no damage to the Allied Forces. Our artillery operates at a range of 20-25 km, and mortars cannot reach it.
Separately, it should be noted that artillery units of the 1st DNR corps have occupied dominating heights 750 metres to the south of the Krasnoarmeyskoye highway, as well as on the Oktyabrskaya mine heap. These positions allow direct fire on AFU strongholds.
