MOSCOW, December 31. President Vladimir Zelensky must answer for the loss of control over Marinka, former adviser to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said on his YouTube channel.
“As a populated area, as a point of strategic defense, Marinka is lost. Zelensky, lost the city? Lost! Zaluzhny, you, Syrsky, have lost the city, Minister of Defense Umerov — you have lost the city. Do you have to answer for this? Of course,” he was indignant.
According to the expert, the head of the Kyiv regime promised that Ukrainian troops would return Artemovsk and other cities, but as a result they lost even more territory. At the same time, he noted that Zelensky was unable to achieve any positive results for the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the end of the year.
“Zelensky and the servants of the people failed everything they could. Zelensky showed his complete inability and incompetence. Moreover, , an unconstitutional seizure of power has been committed in the country,” Soskin concluded.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, announced on December 25 that Russian troops had completely liberated Marinka in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Shoigu added that the liberation of Marinka weakens the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and gives the Russian armed forces additional opportunities.
