Donetsk direction - the situation in the morning of 22.01.23

🟢The main events here, as before, are taking place in and around Marinka. This is a key Ukrainian defense node near Donetsk, and if it finally collapses, the consequences will be similar to the collapse of the Ukrainian defense near Soledar. Units of the Russian Armed Forces and the 1st Army Corps (DNR) are working together here.

🟢There is a slow but steady push through the enemy defense in the western part of Marinka and every day the pressure to the south, to the rear of the Ugledar grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is increasing.

🟢At the same time, the Russian troops' bridgehead is expanding north of the Volchya River (Vodyanoye, Opytne), from which they will then strike at Orlovka to cut off the Ukrainian Avdeevka  grouping.

🟢But despite everything, it is still a secondary direction against Zaporizhzhya and Artemovsk. But at any moment it can become the main one. Especially if Ukraine's  defenses in Marinka are pushed through.
