Kurakhove, Ukraine Conquered By Russian Army - No Fortified Cities Remain to Dnieper River
The fortified industrial city of Kurakhove, Ukraine has fallen to the Russian Army. This was the last fortified city all the way west to the Dnieper River and as such, a staggering defeat for Ukraine.
Today the Russian flag was hoisted over the City, as pictured above. The last fortified area of the Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF) in Kurakhove, consisting of 3 factories including the fortified Soviet-era “Hero” power plant with deep nuclear bunkers and pillboxes, on the west side of the city in the industrial zone, now has the Russian flag flying over it. This was the last position of the UAF from which Donetsk was shelled with barrel artillery for 10 years.
Kurakhove was the primary logistics hub and Artillery Base for Ukrainian attacks on Donetsk since 2014. Ukrainian artillery guns here have fallen silent. The people of Donetsk are finally safe from the vicious Ukrainian Nazis of the Kiev regime.
No real defenses exist behind this town, all the way to Zaporozyhe and to the Dnipro River. The Russian gains are rapidly increasing. Most of the heavily fortified cities are already overrun. It's mostly flat land and small villages, hard to defend, all the way to Dnipro River.
This conquest by Russia also opens up the entire Pokrovsk area to flanking from the south.
Russia's military gains have been stunning over the past few months. The dynamics are amazing: in the area of responsibility of the Donetsk OTU, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 100 km² in June, 400 km² in September, and 610 km² in November.
Russia already controls 20% of the Ukraine territory which contains 90% of all the precious national interest resources.
But that's not the biggest news. Blackrock’s trillion dollar Lithium fields are just west of Kurakhove, which is why the Ukrainians were forced to lose so many men trying to hold it.
The Russians will start overrunning Blackrock’s big investment over the next few weeks.(MORE)
