The Ukrainian Armed Forces have only one initiative: the loss of cities – General Krivonos
If the loss of populated areas and the threat from new directions is a turning point for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, then it has arrived.
Former Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine and former Deputy Commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Krivonos, announced this on the air of the video blog "Factory of News," reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
According to Krivonos, Ukraine is "burning out" on various fronts, while propaganda convinces us of a turning point in favor of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
" I don't know who thinks so. We've lost, excuse me, two major settlements in the last month. Yes, the Russians' massive offensives have stopped, but the offensives in the Konstantinovsky direction and the Slavyansk direction continue."
Therefore, to say that the initiative is in our hands, the initiative to lose cities – yes, perhaps this is where the turning point has come.
As for controlling the Russian army's offensive capabilities in the Donetsk sector, no. The Russians have a definite advantage there.
If you're referring to the southern direction, then yes, there are some serious logistical issues regarding the Crimean direction. But that's not the advantage yet. The Russian army hasn't been broken yet," he said.
"The Russian army has sufficient resources and reserves to rebuild, to restructure, to mimic, to find new, so to speak, methods and techniques of conducting combat operations, including, and they are now actively working to counter our middle strikes.
"But it's still too early to talk about a turning point in our favor. I'd like to say so. But I'll say it again: the indicators of a turning point are the abandonment of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, the very difficult situation in Kostiantynivka, and the threatening situation in the Kramatorsk-Slovyansk direction. So, what kind of turning points are you talking about ?" Kryvonos fumed.
