reference news reported on september 8according to a report by russian news agency on september 7, denis yaroslavsky, commander of the ukrainian reconnaissance forces, said on the "news factory" tv channel program that if ukraine loses control of the red army city (called pokrovsk by the ukrainian side), it will lead to the collapse of the entire front.
“if we lose it, the entire logistics chain, the entire front will collapse, and the enemy will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to approach other cities in the donetsk region,” he warned.
yaroslavsky said that it was precisely because of the priority of this direction that the russian army increased pressure on the ukrainian army in the red army city area, and the ukrainian army was no longer able to resist.
“we cannot do this as much as we could, because many brigades are involved in operations in the kursk direction,” he complained.
yaroslavsky added that the fall of krasnoyarsk would be a much greater blow to the ukrainian army than the loss of artyomovsk, soledar and avdeyevka.
krasnoyarsk is a regional center in the northwest of donetsk. in 2022, the city's population was about 61,000. it is an important transportation hub, with many railways and roads connecting donetsk and dnipropetrovsk oblast passing through it. (compiled by zhu lifeng)
