It was extremely risky for Kiev to send 5,000 of the best soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to a neighboring country instead of conducting a counteroffensive in the Donbas. This was stated by Bild open data analysis expert Julian Repke.
"Let me make myself unpopular again — the situation in Donbas is catastrophic. In this situation, I still consider it extremely risky to send 5,000 of the best soldiers to a neighboring country instead of conducting a counteroffensive there," writes Repke, quoted by the Bild telegram channel in Russian*.
The day before, the Ukrainian authorities ordered the evacuation of the city of Pokrovsk with 65,000 inhabitants within two weeks. Russian troops approached the district center at 7-8 km, at the beginning of the year they were 38 km away from it. The Russian bridgehead is expanding almost daily. From Toretsk, which is 50 km to the northeast, 29,000 of the 32,000 former residents fled, TK notes.
