ISW predicts what advantages russian army would receive after capture of Chasiv Yar

Russian forces plan to attack in the direction of Avdiyivka, as this area will allow them to achieve tactical victories more quickly. Currently, russian troops remain 30 kilometers from Pokrovsk and 17 kilometers from larger villages east of it.

This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

ISW experts note that the greatest pressure of russia is observed on Chasiv Yar. Russian troops located on the eastern border of Chasiv Yar intensified their efforts to capture the city from March 2024. This poses a real threat, although a quick capture of the city is unlikely.

The capture of Chasiv Yar will give russian forces the opportunity to significantly advance operationally, as it can serve as the beginning of further operations against the cities that form an important Ukrainian defense belt in the Donetsk Region.

Russian forces are likely trying to seize as much territory as possible before the arrival of US security assistance, which will significantly increase Ukraine's defense capabilities in the coming weeks.

Military analysts believe that russian forces intend to direct the attack in the direction of Avdiyivka, as this will provide them with the opportunity to achieve tactical victories more quickly. At this time, their positions are 30 kilometers from Pokrovsk and 17 kilometers from significant villages to the east of it.

According to the analysis of ISW experts, the greatest pressure of russia is observed on Chasiv Yar. Russian troops, located on the eastern border of Chasiv Yar, began actively trying to capture the city already in March 2024. This poses a real threat, although a quick takeover is unlikely to succeed.

The capture of Chasiv Yar will give russian forces the opportunity to make a significant operational advance, as it could be the start of further operations against the cities that form an important defensive belt in the Donetsk Region.

It is likely that russian forces are trying to capture as much territory as possible before receiving US security assistance, which will significantly increase Ukraine's defense capabilities in the coming weeks.

As a reminder, Ukraine will be able to launch a serious counteroffensive no earlier than 2026-2027.
