The military analyst of the German newspaper BILD, Julian Röpke, commented that everything will be in vain if another 250,000 soldiers are not mobilized
The Russian flag is already flying in the center of Ocheretina. Ukrainian soldiers in the northern part of the settlement, which is of key importance for the military operation in Donbas, have fled, military analyst Mikhail Onufriensko from Kharkiv revealed.
If Russian troops repulse the counterattacks, the second line of defense after Avdeyevka will be breached, he added, speaking of a major offensive ahead.
The Russian military analyst Boris Rozhin also spoke about the escape of one of the brigades of the Ukrainian armed forces, and his colleague Yuri Podoliaka commented that the Kiev army is in a panic.
Born in the Ukrainian city of Sumy, the journalist claims that the fall of Ocheretina will have very serious consequences for the army of Ukraine, since now the occupying army can develop an offensive in several directions at the same time.
“Whoever planned the operation to free Ocheretina is a genius. With one blow, the second defensive line of the Ukrainian armed forces west of Avdiyivka was breached. In the next week, we will see the maps being painted red west of Avdiivka,” predicted Podoliaka.
No less pessimistic are the scenarios described by the military analyst of the German newspaper BILD Julian Röpke, according to whom the efforts to save Ukraine with military aid will be in vain if at least 250,000 more soldiers are not mobilized, and this is proving difficult to achieve. writes the Russian Telegram channel “Operation Z: Военкоры Русской Весны”.
At least 250,000 people are needed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to Röpke, to try to stabilize the front.
The United States is trying to save the Armed Forces of Ukraine from defeat, writes Politico.
The American publication reports that the new aid package for Ukraine will be significantly larger than usual and will be sent immediately after the Senate finally approves the law passed by the House of Representatives.
According to unnamed US officials, the new package will include armored vehicles, air defense systems and artillery. The United States will deliver a new batch of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, Humvee jeeps and M113 armored personnel carriers.
Meanwhile, BNT reported that Russia launched drones against the capital, Kyiv. 7 people, including two children, were injured after an attack in Odessa.
