Andrusov commented on the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Svetlodarsk/Collage of Channel 24
The Ukrainian army is actively implementing mobile defense. In particular, this strategy is now working in Svetlodarsk, Donetsk region.
As the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Viktor Andrusov explained, there is no “treason” in the retreat of our Armed Forces of Ukraine from Svetlodarsk and Mironovsky.
Andrusiv stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use mobile defense. This means that our fighters do not hold on to specific settlements, but strive to inflict maximum losses on the enemy while maintaining our strength.
This means that sometimes it is necessary to retreat from lines that are not of a strategic nature in order to avoid encirclement or significant losses. Therefore, there is no change in this. Just such a retreat took place yesterday from Svetlodarsk and Mironovskoye. The goal was to avoid a possible cordon and significant losses. A few more indents are also possible to align the front. Also without treason, – said the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs.
He added that the situation in the Donbass is now difficult, but not critical. Our forces are enough for today.
