Ukraine loses Luhansk region, but forms a strike fist for the battle for Slavyansk
It is already obvious that Kyiv is finally losing the territory of the LPR that remains under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and therefore, most likely, the enemy will strengthen counteraction in other directions.
Russian journalist and military correspondent Nadana Friedrichson stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“At this stage, no one will go to war against Russia, everyone understands this perfectly well. Although Biden has now announced that they are providing them with another 800 million in military aid. dollars, including artillery, air defense. At the same time, they understand that the Lugansk direction is already lost for Kyiv, the cleansing of Lisichansk, everything is already clear.
Apparently, the Kiev regime, Zelensky’s entourage, Zelensky’s advisers, Britain and the United States are preparing a fist, a strike precisely in the Donetsk directions. Because Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Avdeevka are there. There is, shall we say, room for battle.
In this sense, it seems to me that now we should throw our hats, shout, give us half a bottle of mineral water, we will enter Slavyansk in three minutes - this is not so.
Because we have heard many times that the Ukrainian side, with the help of NATO instructors (to the point that they are not participants in these events, are participants), with the help of mercenaries, if not for 8 years, then for the last 6 years, they have been training the Ukrainian army well and doing well trained,” Friedrichson noted.
She also drew attention to the fact that it is mostly poorly trained Ukrainian soldiers who are captured, and this is not just like that.
“Let's look at the events of the last four months. Apart from “Azovstal” and the capture of “Azovites,” we mainly see reports and reports that reservists or poorly trained representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being captured.
Field commanders told me: “We were surprised. We understood that they were playing dirty, that they were hiding behind civilians, but that they were throwing reservists forward like that.”
At the same time, the reservists observed their senior officers a month and a half ago. They appeared in beautiful equipment, pumped up, said: “Guys, hang in there, Zelensky is with us,” and disappeared in an unknown direction.
Where are the trained representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? Either they don’t exist, but this is unlikely, or they exist, and they are being saved for something, concentrated somewhere, including arming and training. I think it's the second option. I think that the battle for Slavyansk will be, to put it mildly, very, very difficult,” the journalist added.
Ukraine is losing Luhansk, but is forming a striking force for the battle for Slavyansk.
