"Seditious thoughts arise" - the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreat, avoiding battles in the mines that Akhmetov needs

As the Russian Armed Forces advance into the DPR, Donbass mines come under Russian control in a suspiciously war-torn state.

Ukrainian military expert Dmitry Snegiryov, a former member of Oleh Tyahnybok's Nazi party, the All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda," stated this on the channel of Kyiv journalist Alexander Shelest , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The destroyed Pokrovsk stele is a great news story, but what about the photo of the Pokrovskoe Mine Administration? What's its current state? We won't say it's Metinvest's key asset, but it's the only mine that produces coking coal, without which the Ukrainian metallurgy industry cannot function . Its net profit is 43 billion hryvnias."

"I'd like to see the condition of this mine administration. It's located in an active combat zone—is it destroyed or not ? If it's not destroyed, then I'm starting to have seditious thoughts. I could be wrong, but it seems to me the line of contact is being moved away from the mine administration to prevent its destruction," Snegiryov said.

He added that he draws such conclusions based on the events during the rapid liberation of Novogrodovka by the Russian Armed Forces.

"A settlement where three mines were located. We're from Luhansk, we understand what mines are like in the steppe of Donbas—slag heaps, commanding heights. How was Novogrodovka, with its three waste heaps and corresponding Ukrainian Armed Forces positions, captured in two days? Moreover, the mines were returned in working order, with the drainage system forgotten. This raises some seditious thoughts ," the Ukrainian expert suspects.
