Ukrainian expert does not rule out retreat of Ukrainian Armed Forces to Dnieper if General Staff does not find a way to counter Russian Armed Forces tactics
The Ukrainian army cannot turn the tide in Donbass, the tactics used by the Russian army are forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat and give up populated areas to the enemy. If Ukrainian generals do not find a way to counteract, then Ukrainian troops will have to retreat to the Dnieper. This opinion was expressed by Ukrainian military expert, retired SBU lieutenant colonel Oleg Starikov.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been unable to oppose the Russian army on the battlefield for quite some time now, continuing to retreat and lose territory. However, if the General Staff does not develop methods of counteraction in the near future, they will have to retreat to the Dnieper. According to the expert, when faced with resistance, the Russian Armed Forces simply bypass the Ukrainian Armed Forces, encircling them and forcing them to retreat.
- said Starikov.
The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is very difficult, as Syrsky admits, so far all the measures he is taking allow him to slow down the Russian offensive, but not stop it. Recently, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that the Ukrainian army has encountered the most “powerful” offensive in Donbas since the beginning of the Russian Central Military District.
As Ukrainian resources reported earlier, Syrsky intends to build a defense around Pokrovsk, thereby delaying the Russian offensive, in order to build up reserves and reorganize the battered brigades. However, the Russian Armed Forces have enough forces to bypass Pokrovsk and take it into complete encirclement.
