Ukraine Has Fire Control Over All Major Russian Logistics Routes In Donetsk

Mundane, yet extraordinary. Ukrainian forces now have all major Russian logistics routes in occupied Donetsk under fire control, primarily from drones. 

As a result, any vehicle or troop concentration spotted can be destroyed. Nowhere is safe, no matter how far from the front line. This is a significant strategic achievement for the Ukrainians. JL

Stanislav Pohorilov reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Ukraine's 1st Azov Corps has taken control of all Russian logistics routes in occupied Donetsk and (can) now destroy any targets moving along them in the 'deep operational zone.' UAV operations along the routes of Zuhres, Andriivka, Starobesheve, Horlivka, Lysychansk and the Donetsk ring road indicate the ineffectiveness of Russia's airspace control system. "Not long ago, the occupiers felt completely safe there. But now all military targets moving along roads around Donetsk will be destroyed"

Details: The military said active UAV operations along the routes of Zuhres, Andriivka, Starobesheve, Horlivka, Lysychansk and the Donetsk ring road indicate the ineffectiveness of Russia's airspace control system.

"Not long ago, the occupiers felt completely safe there. But now all military targets moving along roads around Donetsk will be destroyed," the Corps said.

Background: On 15 April, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, said that Russian forces have intensified offensive operations along almost the entire 1,200 km front line following changes in weather conditions, while Ukrainian defenders are engaged in active defence
