“There is a big threat (of encirclement – ed.) is already surrounded by 70%, maybe more I assume that the stay of our military there is measured in weeks. This is provided that the situation does not change radically on our side or the Russian side, ” – said Stupak.
According to him, the situation can change if, for example, the Russian side runs out of resources and can no longer advance, or Ukraine adds resources and is able to resist even more.
“But it seems to me that with the current situation we should leave the city within a few weeks,” the expert believes.
The situation in the Kurakhovo region
It should be noted that the situation in the Kurakhovo district of the Donetsk region has become seriously complicated in recent weeks. Now this direction is the hottest at the front.
Former military-political observer of the information resistance group Alexander Kovalenko for YouTube channel RBC-Ukraine has already expressed the opinion that the Ukrainian armed forces will still have to withdraw from Kurakhovo, but by that time the Russians’ strength will be greatly depleted.
Moreover, as military expert Ivan Stupak said, the capture of Kurakhovo may happen quite soon. In his opinion, Russian troops may capture Kurakhovo before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trumpor even earlier.
