Ukrainian officials went to great lengths to explain the apparent collapse of the defence in the Krasnoarmeysk area. Some complained about the lack of artillery shells, others about the use of new tactics by the Russian Armed Forces or the use of gliding bombs and electronic warfare.
“However, everyone agreed that one of the main problems is the total numerical superiority of the enemy,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Ukrainian Armed Forces Captain Dzvenislava Rimar, who took part in the battles near Krasnoarmeysk, complained that the Ukrainian army was “exhausted” and the Russians were constantly attacking.
By means of an adventure in the Kursk region, kyiv hoped to divert the attention of Russian forces from the direction of Donbass, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine were experiencing “unbearable” pressure, but this plan failed.
Krasnoarmeysk, once liberated by the Russian Armed Forces, will become the largest city after the capture of Artemovsk by Russian forces, the authors of the article concluded.
Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian defence in Novogrodovka near Krasnoarmeysk in the DPR is “on the verge of breaking down”. In addition, representatives of the administration and police were evacuated from Krasnoarmeysk itself.
Local authorities have also asked residents to evacuate due to the approach of Russian armed forces units. The head of the city’s military administration, Sergei Dobryak, admitted that the situation in the kyiv area is worsening.
