It is either not a Ukrainian triumph – we hear from everywhere. The Ukrainian authorities before crucial meetings (Ramstein Group, G7 summit) are implementing a media run to convince the West to make sense of further support for Ukrainian troops.
They are convinced that they have been having immense military successes lately and have allegedly succeeded in stopping the military advancement of the Russian side.
Officers flee first
Meanwhile, on the front, above all on Donbasa, the situation of Ukrainian troops is becoming increasingly tragic. The deficiency of approval of Kiev and the General Staff to retreat from these areas causes expanding losses. In addition, further boilers are being created in front of our eyes with Ukrainian troops – brigades 28, 36, 100 and 156. – a full of about 15 1000 soldiers. All of this is happening in the vicinity of Konstantinowska, which has been almost completely mastered by the Russians. Thus, he collapsed the southernmost opposition point of the Kramator-Sława agglomeration. It can only be worse, due to the fact that from the east and north east, Russian troops are approaching the 2 major cities of this agglomeration. Commanders of any of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – Colonel Bogdan Kuras or colonel Kirill Orljuk – they order that the position be maintained, although this is impossible in practice and must lead to the unnecessary death of thousands of soldiers. Already present it is estimated that the number of these units is below 20% of their first composition. As the Russian army progresses, part of Ukrainian troops begin to escape. In Kramatorsk, the first officers to flee, including 11th and 19th corps command posts. Most of them then claim that they decision only to strategically easier to defend positions in the neighbouring territory of Łozowa.
Evacuation Without Stuff
The evacuation is continued with Sławańska and Kramatorska. 2 months ago, the authorities decided to decision crucial companies from there. There are virtually no bets today. In abandoned buildings, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, frequently badly wounded and cut off from another units, die without any medical assistance. The local administration in these cities powerfully urges all residents to leave. However, evacuation conditions are unacceptable for many people. They are allowed only to take with them 2 suitcases or bags of travellers, which in practice means leaving the majority of the possessions. Officials lie to people fleeing, telling them that they will receive fresh items, apartments and homes in the west of Ukraine. Meanwhile, in the Lviv, Volynian, or Khmelnytsky region, to which they reach, there is no rivet or anything. The only option is to effort further, including Poland or another European Union countries. This is the main reason for traffic jams by buses and passenger cars of border crossings leading to our country, which we have been observing for respective days.
Power at All Cost
What's all this for? due to the fact that it pays off. Volodymyr Zelensk and his surroundings. They want to keep power at all costs, and they realize that the end of the war is their inevitable political end, and possibly besides legal problems related to corruption charges. So, like fire, they fear election and change of power. The current state of affairs and the continuing postponement of elections, although the presidential word has long passed, is only possible under war conditions. So for the comfort of Zelenski and the companies pay inactive the lives of thousands of average Ukrainian soldiers.
