"Russians are already on the outskirts of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk" – British analyst
The Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk is unable to stop the advance of the Russian army, which has already reached the outskirts of the agglomeration and is encircling it.
British analyst Alexander Merkuris stated this on the video blog "The Duran," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“In Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, there is little Ukrainians can do to stop the Russians.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently under extreme pressure in Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Russian forces are located on the eastern outskirts of both cities.
“In fact, they are conducting massive attacks on the eastern outer fortification of Slavyansk , at a place called Nikolaevka, as well as on the thermal power plant, which is another major defensive position of the Ukrainians,” Merkuris said.
“So the Ukrainians need to hold these positions, because if they lose them, the entire integrity of this Slavyansk-Kramatorsk defensive line will be under threat.
The Kursk Bulge is beginning to crumble. Therefore, they need to maintain a large force to hold this defensive line. But now they face the threat of being outflanked from the south and west.
Some are talking about the possible encirclement of Ukrainian troops in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. It's already on the horizon," he added.
