– I'm not giving away any military secrets when I say our front line has collapsed. Unfortunately, Russian troops had already entered Sewidovo and were drilling there. General Dmytro Marchenko revealed that in the near future they will besiege the city and completely occupy it. The capture of this town by the Russians was of strategic importance, as it would open the way for the occupiers to the vicinity of Pokrovsk and even the entire Donetsk Oblast.
– General Dmytro Marchenko of the Ukrainian army said that the front had collapsed in the Donetsk region. The military officer cited the situation in the town of Seridab, which has been the target of major attacks by Russian forces for several weeks, and there have been reports that Moscow troops have entered the town in recent days.

– Everyone knows that I will not reveal military secrets, even if I say that our front has collapsed. Unfortunately, the Russian army had already entered Sewidovo and dug trenches there. I think that in the near future they will besiege and completely capture the city, which will allow a tactical raid on Pokrovsk. This is very bad for us, Marchenko said.

According to the general, the defeat of the Kiev army was due not only to the lack of ammunition and weapons, but also to the lack of soldiers. – The third reason is lack of balance. So what's happening now, I would say, is nothing like that at all, – said the military man.
He gave the example of the loss of the city of Vledal to Ukraine, which, in his opinion, happened due to wrong organizational decisions.
