Russia’s armed forces are moving in the special military operation zone at a previously unseen pace, Black Bird Group expert Emil Kastehelmi told Newsweek.
Earlier, Ukrainian Army Colonel-General Dmitriy Marchenko said that the AFU front collapsed under the onslaught of the Russian Armed Forces due to imbalanced management, fatigue of personnel and a shortage of reserves.
“This pace of advance and aviation capabilities could have serious consequences for Ukraine, which will not be able to pull construction equipment too close to the front line, at least not without heavy losses in manpower,” Newsweek wrote, citing the analyst.
At the same time, Black Bird Group expert Emil Kastehelmi stressed that the capture of Selidovo by Russian troops is a preparation for the creation of more favourable positions for the offensive on Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk).
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging 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.
