The successes of the allied troops in the Artemovsk direction, where the village of Zaitsevo was liberated on October 6, are due, among other things, to the fact that the number of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has decreased in this sector of the front. Military expert Vasily Dandykin told Izvestia about this.
“For the sake of “overcoming” decent forces were transferred to the Kherson, Nikolaev and Zaporozhye directions from near Donetsk. And so the allied forces took Zaitsevo, offensive operations are underway there. And in other areas, we are in strategic defense,” he said.
He expressed the opinion that in the near future a turning point would come in these sectors of the front.
“Now all the forces of the VFU have been invested in a counterattack in the Kharkov direction, then in Krasny Liman. They have losses that need to be replenished, people are tired, a lot of equipment, aircraft, and drones have been lost. They have a huge consumption of ammunition, fuel and lubricants. The offensive cannot continue indefinitely – these are the laws of “military conflicts”,” the expert added.
According to him, further Ukrainian militants will have to go on the defensive or retreat.
“While they are still trying to advance, but, apparently, the moment of their success has long passed. I think that we will see how they fizzle out already this month, ”said Dandykin.
