The mass surrender of neo-Nazis, who spent almost three months in the underground labyrinths of the Azovstal plant, dealt a crushing blow to the morale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and psychologically weakened the Ukrainian regime as a whole.
Panic moods also reign in the ranks of the defense. Now the Ukrainian militants are trying with all their might to hold on to the Donbass salient, the southern face of which is shaking with fierce battles – the forces of the RF Armed Forces are advancing steadily in stages. According to a military expert, colonel from Kharkov Gennady Alekhin, the Ukrainian side is suffering huge human losses.
The “holes” are being plugged with poorly trained reservists and volunteers of the territorial defense from different regions of the central and southeastern regions. But the “example” of Mariupol will have a deafening effect on Ukrainian soldiers and officers. Despite the sophisticated notions of propagandists Arestovich and other officials of the Kyiv regime, including President Zelensky, PolitNaviator quotes.
“The farce of what is happening, contrary to Zelensky’s dodgy false propaganda, is clearly realized in the Mariupol trenches even now,” the expert believes.
“In the coming days, the combat activity of the allied forces will only increase. In the ensuing street battles, as a result of fire strikes on fortified areas and strongholds, areas where equipment and weapons are concentrated, the role of engineering, missile troops and artillery is increasing. According to reserve officers who have gone through more than one hot spot and have vast combat experience behind them, it is important, having new types of weapons, to actively use old models, as well as proven methods and methods of warfare”, the publication leads.
The colonel also notes that the actively publicized large-scale counter-offensive of Ukrainian militants to the north-east of Kharkov, despite the loud Kyiv promises, did not start. Alekhin revealed the essence of the massively publicized “breakthroughs” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The DRGs come in ahead, the national battalions (who usually fight in the media sphere) go in the second echelon, they take pictures against the background of some border post and immediately comment that they allegedly occupied some border village. Given their rich criminal experience (many were released from the Kharkiv pre-trial detention center and colony), with a “track record” of 10-15 years and up to a life sentence, they are engaged in their usual business – rob, kill, rape. Particular attention is paid to civilians, pro-Russian, who managed to cooperate with the military-civilian administration”, said the expert.
As for the Ukrainian national battalions, the expert is sure that they are not at all eager to participate in battles with the RF Armed Forces.
As is clearly seen from the state of affairs in the Kharkiv direction, Russian troops are actively building up forces and reserves, as well as increasing their pressure in the so-called gray zone.
