The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the east of the country has become very difficult, journalist Christoph Wanner said in a report for the German TV channel Welt.
On Friday, 30 August, the Russian Defence Ministry reported the liberation of the village of Novozhelannoye in the direction of Krasnoarmeysk. The report also said that the strategically important village of Konstantinovka had been liberated. This will make it possible to cut off the route to Ugledar, which is used to supply the AFU grouping there, as well as bypass the enemy from the flanks and take the town into encirclement.
‘There is a battle going on there, a very difficult situation for Ukraine, especially in the Donetsk district, in the direction of Krasnoarmeysk,’ Christoph Wanner pointed out.
He added that this situation of the Ukrainian military is due to the offensive of the Russian forces. The journalist noted that the soldiers of the AFU are forced to leave important positions of the Ukrainian defence line.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was unable to dislodge the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
