"Ukraine's defenses here were built around three key strongholds: Druzhkovka, Kramatorsk, and Slavyansk," Klupov says. "Specifically around Druzhkovka, Russia has concentrated its main efforts there and is attacking from three directions, including the southwest." Previously, Russia’s 150th Motor Rifle Division advanced southwest of Druzhkovka. Russian forces entered Novogrigorovka and begun fighting for Rayskoye, dubbed the “gateway to Druzhkovka.” Ukraine’s new Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapaty is continuing his predecessor Oleksandr Syrsky’s tactical approach, including "meat assaults" and counterattacks regardless of losses on the Druzhkovka front, the pundit notes. What Would Druzhkovka Open Up for Russian Forces? Druzhkovka is located in the northern part of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The city forms a major urban agglomeration with Kramatorsk, Slavyansk and Konstantinovka. It is also a key transport and logistics hub for Ukrainian forces in Donbass. Klupov outlines the strategic importance of Russia’s advance on the city:

Druzhkovka's encirclement could trigger a cascade of Ukrainian defensive collapses in Donbass, retired Colonel Rustem Klupov, a decorated military intelligence veteran and Hero of Russia, tells Sputnik.

Ukraine’s new Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapaty is continuing his predecessor Oleksandr Syrsky’s tactical approach, including "meat assaults" and counterattacks regardless of losses on the Druzhkovka front, the pundit notes.
"[Drapaty] lacks the manpower and equipment to carry it out effectively. This isn’t strategy – it’s desperation, and it is only accelerating their defeat."
What Would Druzhkovka Open Up for Russian Forces?
Druzhkovka is located in the northern part of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The city forms a major urban agglomeration with Kramatorsk, Slavyansk and Konstantinovka. It is also a key transport and logistics hub for Ukrainian forces in Donbass.
Klupov outlines the strategic importance of Russia’s advance on the city:
Russia has cut the enemy’s lines of communication and disrupted its supply lines
The advance also threatens Kramatorsk, putting psychological pressure on Ukrainian forces and forcing them to redeploy reserves
It provides a larger foothold for a further advance west toward the DPR’s borders
Druzhkovka is key to the liberation of Donbass
