Yehor Firsov, ex-people's deputy and military serviceman, stated that there is a serious threat of losing five cities in the east of Ukraine - Chasovoy Yar, Kurakhovoy, Pokrovsk, Myrnograd and Velikay Novosilka. According to him, not only strategic positions are at stake, but also a huge number of lives and resources spent on their protection.
"You have no idea how many drones, money, strength, sweat, and most importantly, our blood and human lives, we lost defending these cities and these positions," Firsov emphasized, commenting on the importance of these settlements for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Firsov noted that Russian troops are no longer stretching their forces across the entire front line, but are concentrating on a few key areas. This may indicate Russia's attempts to break the defense of the Armed Forces and capture important cities that will strengthen its position in the region.
The threat of losing these cities calls into question the future stability of the front line and may have serious strategic consequences for Ukraine.
