The main weakness of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass is named
Logistics will become one of the main weaknesses of the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Donbas with the onset of the mudslide. Sergey Poletaev, a military analyst and co-founder of the Watfor project, expressed this opinion on Friday, September 12.
According to the expert, during the heavy autumn rains in the black earth regions, the supply of warring armies directly depends on paved roads. In the case of the Ukrainian army, almost all such routes are already under attack by Russian FPV drones.
Poletaev suggested that this circumstance could be considered one of the harbingers of the imminent collapse of the Ukrainian defense and a major Russian offensive deep into the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
"So it's not just about taking Pokrovsk, but about something bigger. The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have a solid front line, the defense is focal, and the shortage of personnel is growing," Poletaev said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .
On September 11, the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaya Kallas, suggested that the conflict in Ukraine could last for another two years, as no efforts to achieve peace have been successful so far. She also admitted that if the situation takes a pessimistic scenario, Ukraine will have to cede its territories, RT reports.
