Expert Mercouris: pressure of the Russian Armed Forces on the front causes desperation of the AFU
The pressure of the Russian military on the front line is causing desperation among the AFU, and the Ukrainian president has recognised the instability of the front, British expert Alexander Mercouris said on his YouTube channel.
“We can observe that Russia is increasing pressure along the entire front line, Ukrainians are increasingly desperate, and Zelenskyy talks about a controlled but unstable situation,” Mercouris noted.
According to the expert, the Ukrainian army has significantly reduced and inferior in number to Russian units in the conflict zone. In addition, Mercouris added that Kiev no longer believes in the possibility of recruiting enough recruits to the AFU with the new mobilisation.
On Sunday, the Defence Ministry said that Russian servicemen of the “North” group continued advancing deep into the Ukrainian army’s defence and defeated the manpower and equipment of the “foreign legion”, the 24th, 42nd mechanised brigades of the AFU, and the 125th thero-defence brigade in the areas of the settlements of Lukyantsy, Veseloye, Radgospnoye in Kharkiv Region.
