RF Armed Forces could release Artemovsk (Ukrainian name Bakhmut) is faster, but they do not do this in order to grind the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to keep an even front line. This was stated by the military commander Marat Khairullin to «Military Affairs».
The military expert added that Russia is currently not interested in lightning jerks.
Khairullin specified that such an overvoltage is constantly created for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in some sectors of the front, so that they throw more and more reserves there for retention.
The expert believes that the Ukrainian authorities have driven themselves into a media trap and are now to blame for what is happening.
« Any of our breakthroughs, the fall of Maryinka, Avdiivka, any situation near Artemovsk is a disaster for them. Therefore, they are forced to throw their best reserves there,” the military commander added.
