The reasons for the urgent replacement of the combrig are not yet disclosed. The UE interlocutors suggest that they lie in the complication of the situation in the area of the Pokrovsky direction, where they hold the defense of the 59th.
The 59th brigade has been standing for several months, where Russians have not stopped their assaults and have been successful in advance in recent weeks.
Oleksandr Sak, with a call sign “Staff” a few days ago, headed the 53rd mechanized brigade, which now holds defense in the Kremlin forests. Before that, he was a 47 brigade and a combination in the 93rd. According to estimates of the UE interlocutors in different units of defense forces, it has a good reputation.
Now, in an extremely short time, he needs to enter into the state of affairs in the 59 brigade and manage it in a new direction where the Russians are active.
