We need to cut off these hemorrhoids, - SBU Colonel on leaving Avdiivka
Ukrainian troops must be withdrawn from Avdiivka, which is now siphoning resources from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Retired SBU colonel and military expert Oleg Starikov stated this on the internet blog "Raznye Lyudi," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
This, according to Starikov, would be the right military decision, but Avdievka also has political significance.
“Avdiivka is now a tactical direction, but it has political significance. In reality, in a military manner, we need to retreat. We need to remove this hemorrhoid that exists, which resources are being thrown there, we need to cut it off, build it - we must already build a line of defense, remove and relieve this tension, if in a military way. But there is a political component here,” Starikov said.
