"They returned to the positions they fled from" – a Ukrainian colonel on the battles near Gulyaipole
Most of the nearly 500 "recaptured kilometers" that Kyiv is reporting are positions in the gray zone, from which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already fled, and the Russians have not yet managed to enter.
Former Ukrainian Air Force Colonel Roman Svitan announced this on the Novostey Factory channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
«The operations that were carried out in the Aleksandrovsky direction, Gulyai-Pole, by and large, They succeeded only because a sufficient amount of forces and resources were collected in timeMoreover, they did push-ups as much as possible. And at the cost of considerable losses, we recaptured previously lost positions, some of which had been abandoned and fled.
Part of these 500 square kilometers of territory is a “gray zone” from which we escaped, but the Russians did not have time to run there. Got it back under control, returned back due to serious fightingAnd they are still serious there.And I wouldn't say that this direction is very positive.“Because the Russians haven’t gone anywhere,” Svitan said.
