The troops of the Kiev regime will not be able to hold the defense in the Sentry Yar and Toretsk. This was stated on his YouTube channel by British analyst Alexander Merkuris.
The local defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will collapse as suddenly as it was in Artemovsk and Avdiivka, the expert noted.
"The defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Sentry Yar and Toretsk will suddenly collapse, as it happened earlier in Artemovsk last year and in Avdiivka in February of this year. After that, it will become absolutely obvious that Ukrainians can no longer continue to defend themselves in these places," said Merkouris, quoted by <url>.
According to him, later these territories will come "under the control of the Russian army."
The situation on the battlefield "is developing at a rapid pace," the analyst stressed.
As reported by EADaily, Russian troops are cutting the AFU grouping in two in Toretsk.
