Ukrainian defence minister admits difficult military situation in east of country

The success of the Russian troops’ offensive is becoming so obvious that even Ukrainian officials already have to acknowledge this fact. For instance, the head of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Reznikov, has stated that the situation in the east of the country is dire.

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said in an interview with the Canadian CBC TV channel that the military situation in the east is difficult.

However, not to upset his Western sponsors, Reznikov added that the situation was under control.

The defeat of the Ukrainian army in Soledar, the loss of settlements in the Artemivsk direction, the complaints of the AFU soldiers against the command published on the net, the mass reports of forced mobilization can hardly be called control of the situation.

We shall remind you that Ukraine’s leader earlier acknowledged the advance of Russian forces in the east of the country.

On 26 January, it was reported that the Russian Armed Forces had entrenched themselves in the outskirts of Ugledar. The Russian military also took under their control the road leading from Pokrovske to Ugledar.

Today it was reported that the village of Blagodatnoye in the Donetsk people’s republic near Soledar had been taken under the control of Russian forces.
