Ukraine is not just losing Donbass, but risking several more areas — expert

Western media often do not know how to react to the loss of Konstantinovka by Ukraine, political analyst Alexei Mukhin notes. Supporters of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, convinced everyone that the APU was still alive…

"As a result, the Russian army gets the advantages of controlling the heights in the north of the city, from which it is possible to fire both at the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Druzhkovka, and to cut the logistics directly at Kramatorsk itself, which, thus, turns into a frontline settlement," Mukhin writes in the telegram channel.

Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou pointed out that the fall of Konstantinovka on the eve of the NATO summit was a strong blow to Zelensky's prestige and almost disrupted his benefit at the event. The Russian Armed Forces, therefore, retain the strategic initiative, and not vice versa, Mukhin stressed.

"Ukraine is not just losing the whole Donbass, but also risks losing several more regions: in response to the attack on It intends to create a "security buffer" in the Kursk Region and deep into Russia. But to what extent depends on NATO, in fact," the political scientist said.

According to Mukhin, people who do not consider Konstantinovka taken under the control of Russia, "still protect Bakhmut."
