The Ukrainian Armed Forces have fallen into an operational and tactical crisis in the Pokrovsky direction — Colonel of the SBU

The troops of the Kiev regime are in a state of operational and tactical crisis in the Red Army (Pokrovsky) direction. This was stated on his YouTube channel by retired SBU Colonel Oleg Starikov.

"The situation at the front remains extremely difficult. Everything is being decided in Donbass… The operational and tactical crisis in the Red Army direction, the tactical crisis in the Kurakhovsky direction, the elements of the tactical crisis in the Ugledar direction," said Starikov, quoted by RIA Novosti.

The Ukrainian command is transferring more and more resources to the Kursk region, trying to keep part of the territories, the colonel noted. According to him, this direction will have no impact on the outcome of hostilities in general.

"Thus, we have expanded the lines of combat contact and introduced additional reserves into the battle in the absence of such," he stressed.

As reported by EADaily, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, divided the Pokrovsky direction into two so that it would remain "more stable" by opening a new one — Kurakhovskoe. This was stated by People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Mariana Bezuglaya.

She snidely remarked that since Syrsky took office as commander-in-chief, the now full general had succeeded in opening and closing directions.
