The Russian military is exploiting gaps in the defense that have appeared in the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) in the Slavic-Kramatorsk sector. Military expert Andrei Marochko spoke about this in an interview with TASS.
“Our military personnel are literally seeping along the enemy’s defensive line in the Slavic-Kramatorsk direction: the enemy has gaps in the defensive line,” he said. Marochko added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have strategic heights there, but due to a lack of personnel, Kyiv cannot cover all the gaps in the defense.
He added that thanks to this, the Russian Armed Forces can attack both Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
