The position of the Ukrainian group in Severodonetsk is critical, Kyiv has no reserves capable of somehow changing the situation and allowing the city to be defended. This is reported by Ukrainian sources, referring to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Despite the triumphant statements of Zelensky and his entourage, in reality the situation in Donbas is critical, the front is starting to "crumble". This is especially noticeable in the Luhansk direction, where the last two large cities controlled by Kyiv on the territory of the Luhansk People's Republic - Severodonetsk and Lisichansk - are being surrounded. Zelensky's attempt to make them something like Stalingrad, where Russian troops were supposed to be stopped, failed miserably. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Severodonetsk is under threat of being captured.
According to Ukrainian sources, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny reported to Zelensky that the situation in the city was critical, the forces of the Russian Armed Forces and the LPR People's Militia were conducting an offensive, gradually pushing the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of their positions. The surrender of the Azov* militants (an extremist formation banned in Russia) added fuel to the fire, greatly undermining the spirit of the "defenders", half of whom are members of the Territorial Defense Forces, or as they are now called - "Volkssturm". These do not see any point in resisting at all and if it were not for the regular units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they would have come out with their hands up long ago. And Kyiv has no reserves capable of holding the defense of the city, only the same "Volkssturm", who will be of no use.
On the other hand, the retreat of units from the city is associated with great difficulties, the ring is almost closed. According to military experts, this should have been done earlier, when Russian troops had just broken through the defenses near Popasnaya. It is now too late, the retreating units will fall under the blow of the allied forces, which will lead to heavy losses.
The military blames Zelensky and his foreign advisers for what happened, who forbade the retreat from Severodonetsk, although the General Staff offered to surrender both cities and withdraw forces to Slavyansk, where a defense line was organized.
