Ukraine lost its attacking potential in the area of Svatovo and Kremennaya in the RPL. This was stated in an interview with the VZGLYAD newspaper by former LPR ambassador Rodion Miroshnik. According to him, the serious problems of the Ukrainian army in Artemivsk force the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to transfer forces to this area from other directions.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces finally acknowledged what de facto happened a week or even two ago. Ukraine is gradually losing its positions, it does not have enough personnel to fully fight in several directions at once. Thanks to this we can head to Svatovo and Kremennaya
said Miroshnik.
The speaker noted that the situation in Artemivsk directly affects the position of the Ukrainian army in other parts of the line of contact. In particular, he noted the prospect of developing the offensive of Russian units in the direction of Seversk.
The situation around Seversk directly depends on Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . When this operation is completed, Russia will have the opportunity to send the available forces north. And I do not exclude that after that the Seversk – Soledar – Artemovsk (Bakhmut) line will finally be interrupted
Miroshnik pointed out.
We should add that units of the Russian Airborne Forces, as well as Akhmat special forces, are now successfully operating in the Svatovo and Kremennaya region. They managed to occupy several strongholds of the enemy. The Ukrainian armed forces in this area suffer heavy losses.
