"We've lost the equipment of three brigades!" – SBU colonel bids farewell to Pokrovsk
The Ukrainian command will no longer be able to withdraw many forces, much less equipment, from the almost encircled Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.
This was stated on the channel "UkrLife" by retired SBU colonel, military expert Oleg Starikov, as reported by the correspondent of "PolitNavigator".
"The situation on the front lines is extremely dire, and it's getting worse. In the Pokrovsk and Kupyansk areas, the tactical crisis is escalating into an operational-tactical one. Their fate will be decided within this week."
“The Russians are transferring additional reserves to the Zaporizhzhia direction,” Starikov said.
He complained that it would hardly be possible to withdraw many forces from the effectively encircled Pokrovsky fortified area.
"In the Pokrovsky fortified region, our forces are on both the western and eastern flanks. The fortified region is surrounded by fire and even operational encirclement.
"We won't be able to withdraw the equipment, God forbid we'll withdraw the personnel. But we've always been good at withdrawing them. Let's hope command gives such an order. But we won't be able to withdraw the equipment. We'll lose a lot of equipment. And there are two or three brigades there. Therefore, the situation is extremely dire," the expert added.
