>It looks like the Russian Armed Forces are sending everything they have left to the Donbas. The 70th Motorized Rifle Division (the four regiments mentioned) is a large unit that was only formed in 2023 and will likely have, in addition to the T-90/T-72B regiments in 2022, some of the tanks that have been in storage for months.

>The "modern" armored personnel carriers (BMP-3, BTR-82) retained in reserve are well equipped, but as far as is known, largely lacking combat experience. However, they are likely better trained than many of the large units at the front, which are replenished with barely trained recruits.

>The UA expects a massive breakthrough attempt by Russian mechanized units in the Pokrovsk-Kostyantinivka area soon. If this is true, it is likely an attempt to force a quick decision because they are in danger of losing a long war of attrition.

>Perhaps the attempt doesn't have to be given greater chances of success than previous offensives of this kind – there will be initial successes, only to soon return to a war of attrition, as happened at Avdiivka in the fall of 2023
