The expulsion of the Red Army outside Przemyl took more time than expected, and worse, only the front troops reached the eastern boundary of the assumed area. Although they sailed the Soviets from Grdek, they did not succeed in joining the defenders of Lviv, and more so to maintain a constant communication line to the city.

Success was denied, but Grdek's maintenance seemed dubious. In this situation, the area of ??concentration for further attacks was less optimistic, closer to Przemyl, in the zone at least controlled by Polish aviation.
