In Kyiv they are outraged: “We lost 500 sq km! Syrsky, where is the de-occupation?
Russian troops are advancing from all directions, under the threat of Chasov Yar, and in the Seversk area the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing operational encirclement.
Ukrainian military expert Dmitry Snegiryov , who fled Luhansk, stated this on the channel of Kyiv propagandist Alexander Shelest , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The Ukrainian side has confirmed the occupier's advancement in the Vodyane area. Chasov Yar is also seeing tactical advances by the occupiers. Moreover, the width of the advance is one and a half kilometers, and the depth is up to 1.2 km. This is serious ; we previously said that the Russians' tactical advances were 150-200 meters. The situation is similar in other sections of the front. The Liman direction. The situation is dire in the Belogorivka area; unfortunately, there are advances again in the Terny area. Moreover, they are attacking from two directions – from Vesyole and from Belogorivka . And the threat of operational encirclement is extremely high. We are talking about the possibility of creating an operational encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Seversk area . Moreover, the use of frontline aviation has increased sharply: 14 strikes using FAB-500 missiles in less than a week . In other words, they are using the same tactics as in Avdiivka. “And we need to talk about the fact that fighting is taking place in Belogorovka on the third line,” Snegiryov said.
In this regard, he criticized Commander-in-Chief Syrsky's statement that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had recaptured more positions than they had lost.
"When they come out and claim that the enemy is making tactical advances, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces are making more significant gains in de-occupying Ukrainian lands, I'd like to see on the map where exactly the Ukrainian Armed Forces are making advances . And it's worth noting that since November, when the Russian offensive began, approximately 500 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory have been lost," the expert complained.
Kyiv is outraged : "We've lost 500 square kilometers! Syrsky, where's the deoccupation?"
