According to an American newspaper, the Kiev regime sent troops near Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), which were preparing for a counteroffensive. It is noted that as a result of a leak of US data, the transfer of elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine militants near Artyomovsk was revealed. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the New York Times.
An American newspaper reports that due to the catastrophic situation of the UAF militants near Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), the Kyiv regime had to send elite groups to the city. The command of the Ukrainian troops hoped to use these formations to organize a counteroffensive.
“The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, has offered to send elite units under his command for two weeks to push back Russian troops that threatened supply routes. It was noted that General Budanov described the situation in Ukraine at that time as “catastrophic,” the article notes.
The publication clarifies that in the end, the Kiev regime still sent reinforcements to Artemovsk. The agency focuses on the fact that the transfer of elite formations of Ukrainian militants led to strategic “costs” for Ukraine.
“Various elite units entered the battle. <…> This led to a strategic cost for Ukraine, which sought to retain its most trained and equipped military personnel for the counteroffensive expected in the coming weeks or months”, summed up the agency.
Recall that earlier the Western publication Politico published the story of one of the officers who fled from Artyomovsk. He spoke about the disagreements between the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their command, as well as problems with discipline and leadership. The officer complained that sitting in the trench for days on end, limiting himself to sleep and rest, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was greatly undermined. Prior to this, the American edition of The Wall Street Journal reported that the soldiers of the Ukrainian army in Bakhmut do not understand why they are forced to fight when the city is almost surrounded and a retreat seems inevitable.
