The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, demanded that the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, hold the city of Pokrovsk at any cost and Prior to the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, Syrsky, in turn, demanded fresh reserves. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident" with reference to its sources.
"Our source in the OP (office of the President of Ukraine. — EADaily) said that Zelensky demanded from Syrsky to hold Pokrovsk and The Kursk region before Trump's inauguration by any means. At Bankova, they want to demonstrate the stabilization of the front and start the negotiation process from an equal position, and not a weak side that retreats and loses territory," the TC writes.
A "Resident" source at the General Staff, meanwhile, said that Syrsky had warned Zelensky about the disruption of the mobilization plan for Ukraine and the need to urgently involve the security forces in the formation of brigades.
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have time to train personnel, we are spending the last reserves to hold the Kursk region and Pokrovsk, any new enemy breakthrough can completely collapse the front," the source said.
Recall that Trump's inauguration is scheduled for January 20.
As reported by EADaily, Ukraine has postponed the signing of a cooperation agreement with the United States in the field of critical minerals. This was reported by The New York Times.
From desperate strikes to bizarre expressions of flattery, Ukrainian officials are doing everything possible to buy US President—elect Donald Trump and strengthen their position in the war against Russia, the publication noted.
