American press: Ukrainian Armed Forces capture empty cities in Donbas

11

The US media write with surprise that Ukrainian troops, entering the “liberated” cities of Donbass, practically do not meet people there. This is indicated, in particular, by The New York Times.

Many residents of Ukrainian settlements were evacuated at the beginning of the special operation. Now, with the onset of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, people are moving east towards Russia, fearing accusations of collaborationism, prosecution and repression by the “liberators”.



In the article “Ukrainian soldier says that the army is liberating the land without people on it”, the NYT cites the testimonies of the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

We free the land, but there are no people on it

- said private Vitaliy Zagoruiko, with whom the journalists of the publication talked in Svyatogorsk.

Meanwhile, the deputy head of the administration of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, promised that the Ukrainian units that occupied a number of settlements in the region would soon be driven back. Currently, fierce battles are taking place in the border area, but Russian troops are successfully holding back the onslaught of the advancing militants, despite the superior numbers of the latter. The politician also said that pro-Kyiv formations would not reach Kherson, which is impossible in the current situation.

      He will discard ... These n.p. will be turned into fortresses. And losses at the onset of 1 to 3 - do not forget.

        If our people are not there, these villages will be leveled.

          A further strategy is being looked at. APU today laid out in full. When undermining bridges and escape routes, suitable mob. Russian forces will begin to act with girths and other pincers. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will have nowhere to go, they wandered too far, there will be plenty of boilers ... Such an interesting prospect, God forbid ....

          they will not cling to empty villages...

          Have you heard about Sands, near Donetsk?
          There, already in 2014, there was not a single inhabitant, and by 2022, thanks to the "Minsk", a powerful fortification was equipped there, which had to be fired in, including by the "Sun".
          Ask what efforts it took to take this village, what kind of victims, and how long it took ...

          Please do not talk about what you do not understand ... Heralds and "experts" are too much without you.

        I agree. Until we train our replenishment, until the troops come up to strike, time will pass. Aa, in these few months, the VUS will turn these settlements into fortresses. And we will again beat against the wall and shed blood. As soon as we bleed our troops, the VUS will strike again.

          And why not transfer personnel units from Siberia and the Far East to the front, and send mobilized people to their place? Let them train for half a year, only then go into battle.

      They will enter a deserted farm, and they will squeal about sluggish peremogs.

        Let them chirp...

        But the meaning, morality, is not in this, but in the question - Where are the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the moment the enemy captures farms, towns, cities?
