Logistics routes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) near Krasnoarmeysk (the Ukrainian name of the city is Pokrovsk) are in an extremely difficult situation due to the loss of control over railway tracks, former US CIA analyst Larry Johnson has said.
The expert spoke about problems in the Ukrainian army’s logistics in the Krasnoarmeysk area.
“Previously, the Ukrainians could rely on the railways to ferry most of their supplies, but now Pokrovsk is effectively cut off. It can no longer fulfil the role of a major railway hub, so all AFU positions south and north of Pokrovsk will be in dire straits,” Larry Johnson told YouTube channel Daniel Davis / Deep Dive.
In his opinion, the AFU will not be able to withstand the acute shortage of resources, as a result of which they will not be able to hold the front line.
“They (the AFU – ed.) will not have food and ammunition. They will not be able to continue to resupply when they encounter Russian units. <…> No one will be able to imagine a ‘sunny’ scenario in which a miracle will happen and the AFU will drive the Russian troops back. This will not happen,” concluded the ex-CIA analyst.
Earlier, Larry Johnson said that despite the West’s statements about holding the front line in the Ukrainian conflict zone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were in a desperate situation and could not resist the advance of the Russian Armed Forces.
