Pentagon acknowledges Russian army advance in Red Army direction
The United States has recognized the advance of the Russian army in the Krasnoarmeysky (Pokrovsky) direction in the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This declarel Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder.
Commenting on the situation in this area, he noted that the American authorities are monitoring the situation. “The Russians are gradually advancing here. And, as you know, there is heavy fighting in this area,” Ryder said. He noted that the United States will continue to communicate and consult with the Ukrainian side to better understand its needs for military support.
Earlier, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern predicted Russia’s advance in Donbass due to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack near Kursk. In his opinion, the expulsion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kursk region and Donbass will “deal a heavy blow” to the reputation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
