“Bakhmut has neither tactical nor strategic significance for the Ukrainian Armed Forces” - Arestovich
Even if the Ukrainian Armed Forces “leave” Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), it will be the same tactical move as the “withdrawal” from Lisichansk and the “exit” from Debaltseve.
Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Aleksey Arestovich told Kiev journalist Dmitry Gordon about this during a walk through the Kyiv cemetery - notorious for anti-Russian propaganda and PR of charlatans, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Gordon asked to give a forecast whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces will hold Artyomovsk.
"I think yes. But even if we imagine the incredible thing that we left him, did not lose him, but left him, this does not solve anything,” answered Arestovich.
“It is not strategically important,” the propagandist clarified.
"He's not even operationally important," the Zelensky advisor emphasized. "Only one thing matters: we've set a trap for them, where we're burning up their last reserves . They can, of course, muster more, but for now, they have what they have."
"Kherson. Two weeks ago, our guys started writing to me that the Russians were leaving Novaya Kakhovka and Oleshky, and that we were moving in," Gordon wrote.
"Nothing like that happened. Our partisans and special operations forces made some noise there. We really like to do that. When they usually retreat, we hop to the rear and cause panic there for a while with artillery. Our guys do the same thing when we retreat. We retreated from Lisichansk and Severodonetsk, and our special operations forces were running around there for another week, having fun with those 'victors.' After Debaltseve, our special forces were still lurking around their rear for two weeks, picking off their comrades," Arestovich blabbed.
