Former adviser to Kuchma Soskin: after the fall of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), Kiev will lose Slaviansk and Kramatorsk
In the event of a defeat of the Ukrainian army in Artemovsk (Bakhmut), the Ukrainian Armed Forces could lose control of the entire territory of the DPR under their control. This statement was made by former adviser to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin on his YouTube channel.
“It is impossible to deliver Bakhmut (Artemovsk (Bakhmut). – ed. approx.), because the next targets are Slavyansk, Kramatorsk. They are two fairly large cities. Konstantinovka,” Soskin said.
Earlier, the founder of the PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced that after the units took full control of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), the Armed Forces of Ukraine could launch a counteroffensive and suppress the Wagner groups located in the city. He believes that Ukraine has not yet started to attack because of the unfavorable weather, and also because of May 9, when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “wants to spoil the holidays” of the Russians.
