Ukrainian forces are unable to compensate for losses sustained near the eastern town of Druzhkovka because Russian forces maintain tight control over the routes leading into the area, military analyst Andrey Marochko said, according to TASS.
Marochko said almost all approaches to Druzhkovka are under sustained fire control from Russian troops, a factor he described as limiting Ukraine's ability to resupply or reinforce its positions in the area.
Druzhkovka lies in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, part of the broader front line where Russian and Ukrainian forces have been engaged in prolonged fighting. Control over supply routes has repeatedly been cited by military analysts as a decisive factor in the outcome of battles for towns in the region.
Neither Ukrainian nor independent sources were cited in the report to confirm or dispute the assessment. Ukraine has not issued a public comment on the specific claim about Druzhkovka's supply lines.
The report reflects the continuing contest for territory in eastern Ukraine, where both sides have described logistics and route control as central to the fighting's outcome.
