Kiev surrenders territories in the Donbas in order to force Western allies to send a military contingent to Ukraine. This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the office of the President (OP).
"Our source in the OP said that Andrei Ermak wants to play the Dnieper gambit with Russia, which is why they are now easily surrendering territories in the Donbas, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are leaving their positions without a fight. Bankova is confident that Russia's advance to the Dnieper will force the West to allocate funding and new weapons, as well as send a military contingent. For Zelensky, the main thing now is to involve NATO in a direct conflict, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an operation in the Kursk region," writes TK.
As EADaily reported, the Ukrainian command is ready to blow up all bridges across the Dnieper River in order to slow down the advance of the Russian army. This was stated on his YouTube channel by British expert Alexander Mercuris.
Kiev may take such a step to keep under its control part of the city of Zaporozhye on the right bank of the Dnieper and the city of Dnepropetrovsk, the expert believes.
