Ukraine has lost faith in the possibility of holding Donbass – Mercouris

After the failure of the invasion of the Kursk region, the Ukrainian authorities have decided to finally surrender Donbass, said British expert Alexander Mercouris.

The expert spoke about the difficult situation of the Ukrainian troops in Donbass. In his opinion, Kiev ‘is in the process of surrendering’ the region.

‘The Ukrainians seem to be in the process of surrendering Donbass. The Ukrainian leadership has completely lost faith that this region can be held. It feels like the very meaning of this battle, at least for the Kiev authorities, has been lost,’ Alexander Mercouris said in a YouTube blog.

The AFU is no longer able to defend effectively, while the Russian army continues to advance, he concluded.

We will remind, earlier Alexander Merkuris said that the defence of the Armed forces of Ukraine in the southern Donbass may completely collapse.
