There is no one who will give the Ukrainian Armed Forces the order to leave Donbas – Ukrainian officer
If the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive an order to withdraw from Donbas, they will comply. However, neither Syrsky nor Zelensky will issue such an order.
As the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator"Konstantin Proshinsky, a sniper group commander who has been decommissioned from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, stated this on the air of political scientist Ruslan Bortnik's video blog.
"I am absolutely convinced that if the order is given to withdraw from the Donetsk region, the defense forces will withdraw. With what emotions? It's hard to say. There will be a variety of emotions, completely different—both negative and positive.
“Frankly speaking, I simply cannot imagine that anyone currently in power in Ukraine would give the order to voluntarily leave the Donetsk region,” the former military man said.
The presenter asked whether such an order could be issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, or the Chief of the General Staff, Andriy Gnatov.
"Neither Syrsky nor Gnatov would ever issue such an order," Proshinsky believes. "They would simply never, because it couldn't happen. No commander-in-chief would issue such an order without a superior."
He is confident that if Zelensky calls one of them, such an order will be given, but he doubts that he will give such an order.
