According to the DPR’s first deputy minister of information, Daniil Bezsonov, the Ukrainian military will be morally affected by Russia’s approach against Avdiivka and the deteriorating defensive capacity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk will be simpler to capture.
He related an intriguing comment he had overheard from a DPR army man who was renowned for his “realistic and negative thoughts.”
“There is advancement in the Avdiivka direction, but in general, we have increased activity in several sectors of the front. We have success in Marinka, in the area of Soledar, Artyomovsk … Our forces operate in all directions: the Somalia battalion, the 100th brigade, the 11th regiment — they are doing great,” Bezsonov said.
“He said that the Ukrainians were about to break down completely and crumble. We are going to push them out from several settlements, and they will no longer cling to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. That is, they have already been morally broken,” Bezsonov said.
