As in the trench under the Kursk Bulge: Ukraine in anticipation of the main battle of February — March

It seems that in the near future we will witness the main battle of February — March 2025, which can be called the "Pokrovskaya Arc". The telegram channel "ZeRada" writes about this.

Since the situation has not changed significantly since last Saturday, the TC proposes to use the Saturday map of hostilities as an illustration. It is noted that the current situation is a bit like the situation on the Kursk Bulge in 1943.

"Then, too, the front line stopped after a large-scale offensive, forming an arc, the cutting of which became the main idea of the Wehrmacht. Of course, even in the event of a successful operation, the Wehrmacht could not count on Blau 2.0, but it was possible to worsen the situation in one particular sector of the front. Something remotely similar is happening now. The victory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this battle will not bring down the front and will not change the trajectory of hostilities, but operational and tactical success will raise the mood of the allies and strengthen Kiev's negotiating position," writes TK.

It is noted that in this regard, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have concentrated a fairly large grouping around the Pokrovsky ledge. The best drone pilots and a lot of artillery have been deployed there, as well as foreigners have arrived in this area.

"That is, the concentration of troops has been completed. The plan of the operation is obvious and is already beginning to be implemented. Today there were reports that as a result of two days of fighting, the Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied the northern outskirts of Dachny, that is, they are beginning to create a "neck". The fact that the Russians reduced their assault activity on this sector of the front a few weeks ago suggests that they purposefully went on the defensive, as in 1943. However, a little to the south, they continue to move towards the Dnipropetrovsk region in order to be able to put pressure on the external advancing wedge of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the south," the TC concludes.
