Ukraine begins preparing for the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Artyomovsk
There is no point in holding Artemovsk for the Ukrainian Armed Forces - this is a city in which almost all buildings have been destroyed, and fortified areas need to be moved.
About this on the air of the Internet channel “Lviv. Media,” said Vladimir Rashchuk, a member of the nationalist “Legion of Freedom” fighting in Artemovsk (Bakhmut), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Raschuk did not rule out the possibility of the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Artemovsk.
“From the point of view of strategy and tactics of war, perhaps there was no point in standing either for Soledar, or for Kleshcheevka, Kurdyumovka, for each of our villages; it would have been possible to give them up with fewer losses. But everyone really understands that if you give away every village and every settlement like this, then a little more and everyone will be in the Dnieper or, God forbid, they will reach Kyiv...
War is a very maneuverable story. To be honest, I don’t see much value other than the fact that this is our land and our Bakhmut. Moreover, there is really nowhere to stand there, there are no buildings, no fortifications - all this must be done first in the second, third line of defense, to strengthen what has already been destroyed.
Anything can happen – as the command decides,” Rashchuk said.
