"We are paying a terrible price for this city. The thing is that certain [commanding officers] have made mistakes and did not prepare the city for proper defense," said the former deputy commander of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, ex-deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, General Sergey Krivonos.
"Not just approaches to Bakhmut should have been prepared, the city itself should have been readied for defense. This was not done properly, and now these issues are resulting in quite heavy losses," he said in an interview to Channel Five.
In his opinion, Ukrainian troops should have left Artyomovsk back in February.
He also noted that the Kiev government was experiencing huge problems in the training of mobilized soldiers.

Военное руководство допустило ошибки, не подготовив Артемовск к обороне, из-за чего "каждый клочок земли полит кровью" необученных и неподготовленных призывников. Соответствующее заявление сделал украинский генерал-майор Сергей Кривонос.
ReplyDelete"Каждый клочок земли в Бахмуте уже полит украинской кровью. И это большая проблема: мы платим страшную цену за этот город, а вопрос в том, что некоторые допустили ошибки и не подготовили город к нужной обороне", - подчеркнул Кривонос в ходе телеэфира.
