This changed after the Kharkiv offensive, now almost the entire railway connection between Valuyki and Luhansk is in GMLRS/M31 range, which mean the Russians only have two railroad connections and Luhansk is the only major settlement along the front line which is not in range.

And if we take a quick look in the south, we can see how the RU logistic alternatives are getting more and more squeezer. They are heavily reliant on that one safe route from Crimea, but even that is compromised by the limited functionality of the Kerch bridge.

The Russians know this and that is the reason they are trying to create more options by possibly building a new road from Crimea.

@DefMon3:
The Russians are planning to widen and improve the road over Arabat Spit to improve logistics to the southern area of operations. The route via Armiansk is now in HIMARS range and too dangerous for the Russians to use. https://t.co/pMMfTOl036

I also believe this is why RuAF keep attaching with huge losses in the Pavlivka area.
-----------
@DefMon3:
One reason the Russians are trying so hard in the Pavlivka area might be the damage on the Kerch bridge. They might be trying to create buffer and establish a Melitopol <-> Donetsk railway connection. https://t.co/DS1MUrA3eG

What is needed for the AFU to be able to disrupt the RU logistical network at this point?

Ukraine need longer range standoff weapons to be able to strike Russian logistics on Ukrainian territory and preferably on Russian territory.

The Russian army is extremely reliant on the railway to function properly and while the options for RU are reduced every time Ukraine gains territory, UA options to strike the RU logistics are also reduced since HIMARS are not allowed to attack targets inside Russia.

This is how you can help Ukraine by influencing politicians in your country.
-----------
@DefMon3:
Politicians control the rate of weapon deliveries to Ukraine. The one thing politicians want more than anything else is to get re-elected, they will do almost anything to make sure this happens. This is why your voice matters, you need to make your self heard.

RT @DefMon3: This is Yuvileine, on the outskirts of Luhansk. About half of the town consists of an industrial area with a large coal mine. This area functions as a logistics hub for the Russian Armed Forces.

RT @DefMon3: 🧵A dive in to the importance of Luhansk as a logistics hub for the Russians.

I will provide some though on why Luhansk city is a key location for the Russian logistics apparatus with the help of some very high resolution satellite images and a few maps. https://twitter.com/DefMon3/status/1596872759950594048/photo/1
