“The surrender of the Hours of Yar will be the fall of another Ukrainian “fortress” and a serious blow for Kyiv,” the article says.

According to the journalist, previous experience of fighting in Donbass showed that Ukraine will sooner or later give up any fortified position, no matter what resources it uses for defense.
