Russians Devastated! Lose Months of Progress! ]
Today [ Mar 28, 8 pm ], there are a lot of interesting updates from the Toretsk direction.
Here, with Russian forces weakened and stretched thin, Ukraine is pressing forward in Toretsk with a coordinated and relentless assault. Using precision airstrikes, artillery, and elite ground units, they are systematically dismantling Russian defenses, paving the way for the next phase of their offensive. This would disrupt Russian plans, forcing them to prematurely commit reserves that are being gathered for a summer offensive on Kostyantynivka. By drawing Russian forces into another costly battle for Toretsk, similar to their previous failed attempts, Ukraine could drain Russian manpower and resources, effectively resetting their progress. If successful, this would indefinitely delay Russian offensive plans for Kostyantynivka, keeping them locked in a stalemate while Ukraine maintains momentum in other sectors of the front. To keep Russian forces at bay in the Toretsk area, Ukraine is deploying some of its most elite assault units, including the Azov Brigade, in a coordinated combined arms warfare strategy.
This means Ukrainian forces are not only conducting infantry assaults but also integrating air support, artillery, and drone strikes to maximize their battlefield effectiveness. By using guided bombs to demolish fortified Russian positions, Ukraine has managed to inflict heavy casualties and disrupt enemy assault plans. Even when some Russian troops survive these strikes, they are left scattered and disorganized, and their defensive positions are rendered useless, making it significantly harder for them to launch counterattacks.
Overall, the Ukrainian forces managed to suppress the Russian forces in the Toretsk area through aggressive and well-coordinated combined arms warfare, using aviation and artillery combined with ground raids by stormtroopers and demolition squads. These actions are disrupting Russian preparations for their planned summer offensive on Kostiantynivka, as complete control of Toretsk is necessary for them to consolidate forces and equipment. Instead, Russian commanders are being forced to divert more reserves into the ongoing battle for Toretsk, risking a complete loss of the city under increasing Ukrainian pressure.
