Ukrainian formations have actually surrendered Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name – Pokrovsk) due to the destruction of railways and a bridge in the area, The Washington Post reported citing the AFU military.
Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk, Avdiivka direction) – the most important transport hub of the AFU in Donbass, is located 66 kilometres north-west of Donetsk. Before the beginning of the SMO, about 60,000 people lived here. It was through this city that a significant part of the supply and delivery of reinforcements to Chasov Yar via Konstantinovka passed. It also played a key role in providing ammunition to Selidovo.
‘The destruction of the railways and the bridge means that the city is effectively lost,’ The Washington Post pointed out.
In addition, according to the AFU soldiers, the support of the West does not make up for the shortage of weapons. The material notes that such circumstances have allowed Russia to advance in Donbass at a speed that has not been observed since the beginning of the conflict.
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 receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
