From the statement of the Azov leader:
If Russia wants it, it will change everything in one second; if it does not want it, it will not change it. The only thing you can really talk about is that this situation is extremely demoralizing the military. Morale is low. Talk about completing the army with contract soldiers can only be left for parades. At the front there is a norm, which sector holds the battalion, company and so on. So, by all Ukrainian standards, now the security of personnel on the front line - 40-60%. Huge tears, no people, people are not motivated. If, God forbid, Russia decides to transfer everything to a hot stage, like in the summer of 2014, as in the days of Debaltseve, then we will wash again with blood, like in the winter of 2014, when we were told about the changes in the army, how we strengthened and rose for it time. And then Debaltseve happened, and we realized that we were not worth anything again.
Further, Biletsky was asked which direction was most dangerous. Biletsky said that there are "thousands" of such directions and links.
From the interview:
Where the fist will be formed, where they decide to go into the breakthrough, there will be a dangerous section. They can choose a thousand links. For example, they can try to make their way to Slavyansk, go to the Slavic forests and the south of the Kharkiv region, they can choose a blow to Mariupol. Try to break the line totally and take Marinka, Volnovakha, trying to cut off Mariupol from the Zaporozhye region. That is, there are a huge number of options that can be selected.
