“I don’t have enough strength. You need to understand” - Zelensky boldly rejected the advice of US generals to step up the offensive in the south
The Ukrainian command cannot afford to transfer the greatly depleted Ukrainian Armed Forces, because the exposure of any of the sections will lead to the immediate collapse of the entire Bandera front.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this during a briefing following the summit of the international Crimean Platform, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
During the event, journalists asked Zelensky to comment on the publication of The New York Times about the advice of US generals to transfer troops from the Artemovsk direction to the Zaporozhye front and focus on the main thing - the breakthrough to Melitopol.
“Which specialist understands how many people there are, how many occupiers there are in the east? Approximately 200 thousand.
Let's take our Armed Forces from there and transfer them somewhere. Somewhere where they are needed. But after this, a couple of days, and (the Russians will take) Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, then they will go to Pavlograd, Dnepropetrovsk, and cut off the banks. Kharkiv. I think that is exactly the hope they have.
We will not give up Kharkov, Donbass, Pavlograd, or the Dnieper, and let all the analysts in the world not even count on this,” the Ukrainian president asserted.
