Gagin stated that the Ukrainian army has completely collapsed morally and motivationally, and that a large amount of military equipment has been captured by Russian forces. He also mentioned that the Kiev regime has abandoned its soldiers to death and that its military resources have been depleted:Konstantinovka was the last major enemy fortification in this direction. It was not easy to capture the serious fortress that the enemy built on the way to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.
Gagin pointed out that Kiev is facing a severe crisis in finding new soldiers and that Ukraine will be forced to redirect forces from other fronts to strengthen its garrisons in Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, leaving other lines of defense vulnerable. He also criticized Zelenskiy's claims of 'strategic success' despite the collapse on the front, summarizing the dirty deal behind these statements as follows:The fact that the Ukrainian army was not given a regular withdrawal permission shows that the soldiers were thrown forward like pawns to slow down the Russian army.
Zelenskiy usually makes these so-called strategic success announcements just before his critical meetings with EU or NATO members.
