Details: According to Mykula, in order to hold the city, it is necessary to “cut the claws” created by the Russian army, pressing on the city from the flanks. Given the resources, reserves and means on the entire front, it will be unrealistic to do so, the analyst believes.
Direct speech: “Given the general situation that we have on the entire front, the resources, reserves and means that we have, it will be practically impossible to keep Ugledar. That is, its loss is a matter of several days to, perhaps, several weeks. This due to the fact that the enemy is pressing from the flanks. Accordingly, it is a very bad idea. Although, of course, it is possible that they will not give the command to withdraw in time. In order to hold those claws , which the enemy launches from the flanks. And we don’t have the strength to cut off these claws.”
Details: The co-founder of Deep State calls the threat of the encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Ugledar high, but there is currently no command to leave the city.
“The fighters are trying to hold on, even flying combat orders to restore positions, which is absolutely impossible under the current conditions. Those who send them to the boys, I don’t know what they are thinking,” Mykula added.
In turn, the 72nd separate mechanized brigade released a video on Thursday, September 26 and assured that its fighters continue to be in Ugledar despite heavy enemy assaults.
Direct speech: “I want to dispel all doubts and the opinion of pseudo-experts that the 72nd Brigade left the city of Vugledar. Currently, despite heavy assaults and difficult circumstances, we are in place.”
