Two weeks ago, when the Russian offensive on Pokrovsk was gaining dangerous momentum, B. Krotevich’s fighters were transferred from Liman to New York. The officer does not understand the decision to stop the Russian vanguard “headlong”.
“We should march from New York, go over the edge and surround them. Instead, we ourselves will be surrounded. The advantage of Russian manpower is enormous here. They’re used to sending small squads of 2-4 soldiers to tie the enemy down on the ground, and while we’re running after the four guys, they’re advancing elsewhere. It’s a suicidal tactic, but it works. And they can afford it. They have 120 million people, B. Krotevičius explained.
An officer showed reporters aerial footage of a close encounter in which Ukrainian fighters set fire to tires to chase Russian invaders from the basement.
“They’re losing a lot of people here, a lot more than we are. And still they keep coming. In Kursk, they throw artillery and brigades in order to maintain their positions,” added B. Krotevičius.
According to him, the loss of Pokrovsk should not mean the loss of the country or even Donbass, but the time to change the course is running out.
“If nothing changes, after Pokrovsk the Russians will go to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. in 2014 they were under “soft occupation”. This time it won’t be so soft,” emphasized the fighter.
Yevgeniy, a soldier of the 93rd mechanized brigade who took part in the battle for Bakhmut, told reporters that Pokrovsk would fall much faster.
“Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it. Everything falls apart so quickly,” he added.
