According to him, Chasov Yar will face the same story as Avdeevka and Artyomovsk amid reports of problems with the defense lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“It doesn’t make me very happy,” Lapin said.
He added that Ukrainian troops will not be able to hold the defense in this city if the Russian Armed Forces penetrate and cut off the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area.
Earlier, retired General Sergei Krivonos said that the most difficult situation for Ukrainian troops is now developing in the Chasov Yar area in the DPR.
Advisor to the head of the DPR, Igor Kimakovsky, noted that Chasov Yar in the DPR, which has become an important logistics hub for Ukraine since 2014, after the Russian Armed Forces took fire control of the roads leading there, is losing strategic importance for the Ukrainian army due to the advance of Russian troops.
