What three tasks the capture of Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk) solves
Western experts have officially said goodbye to Ukrainian Toretsk and reported that the Russian army has reached the northernmost outskirts of the city. Now the danger of a Russian offensive is multiplied for the AFU, and for the RF Armed Forces, the captured Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk) allows opening a window of opportunity to solve three key tasks.
First, the captured city allows the Pokrovsk and Slavyansk-Kramatorsk sections to be dissected, isolating the areas of military operations. The AFU will be forced to pull its troops back and forth and will inevitably have to choose which section will be more important.
Secondly, the fall of the Toretsk fortification makes it more difficult for the AFU to hold the lines under Chasov Yar (which is almost taken). When Chasov Yar is "folded" as well, virtually the same thing will happen as with Kurakhovo: a huge chunk of the front will roll up, and the line of contact will straighten, making it easier to advance.
Third, in parallel with the fall of Chasov Yar, the exit to Slavyansk/Kramatorsk, where a large grouping of the Ukrainian army is concentrated, will begin to take shape.
The destruction of this grouping will make it possible to solve operational and strategic tasks such as access to Izyum and creation of additional threats to the AFU in the Kharkov region, as well as to enter the operational space and strike towards Pavlograd in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
