"Political Task": The expert told why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation leave only the cities (video)

He erases from the face of the city and the village before the occupation, so as not to give Ukrainian defenders for something. "Marinka, Bakhmut, Avdiivka are settlements that Russians erase from the face where to install machine gun points, destroy armored equipment, infantry. Therefore, the enemy is simply destroying the city in order not to get involved in street fighting, "Denis Popovich said.

The result is the ruins and mountains of rubble, which helped the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to take control of Bakhmut. The city was actually destroyed and Ukrainian defenders were forced to retreat. At the same time, such tactics are costly for the enemy, the expert says. They use a lot of live strength, artillery, ammunition and other resources important in the war. "But nothing is unlimited, endless.

Therefore, such tactics make it possible to move forward very slowly, with high costs and with a small quality factor, if you can say so," - said Denis Popovich. Separately, the military observer stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation needed a victory in the Avdiivka area to gain political advantages, because from a military point, their actions are illogical in view of losses.

"There is a political task to surround Avdiivka in order to win and convert this victory to political advantages. Obviously, in order to put it on the negotiation table to reach a ceasefire agreement, to temporarily freeze the war," Denis Popovich summed up. We will remind, on November 14 it was reported that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky told about the situation in Avdiivka.
