"It is transitioning into an operational-tactical crisis," a military expert revealed which frontlines are facing the most severe challenges.

He shared this information on his channel.

According to the expert, the situation at the front is critically manageable, with the most severe conditions observed in the South Donetsk, Kurakhiv, and South Pokrovsk directions. He explains that a tactical crisis (the enemy advancing 5-10 km deep) is evolving into an operational-tactical crisis (up to 30-40 km), while our forces are gradually withdrawing to prepared positions.

“In war, there are both advances and withdrawals; it all happens – these are types of combat actions. Because some people write that everything is collapsing, the front has fallen apart… But that’s the point, it breathes, it inhales in one direction, then exhaled in another. This is what is called ‘the front breathes.’ It is soft, elastic. It collapses when it becomes rigid, meaning it has stiffened. We are still withdrawing, holding positions. But the key question is how long will this last? I don’t know. The most dangerous thing is for it to turn from elastic into rigid,” explains Oleg Starykov.

As he describes, the enemy has struck at the so-called South Kurakhiv pocket, which includes Trudove and Konstantinopole, where there is a certain operational encirclement. If our command issues an order, the expert notes, the fighters will move to pre-prepared positions.

“I draw a conclusion. On the northern front, at the Kursk bridgehead, on the northern flank of the Kupiansk bridgehead, in the Sever direction, and in the Chasovoyarsk and Toretsk areas, the situation is relatively stable but heavy. However, as I mentioned earlier (editor's note – in the South Donetsk, Kurakhiv, and South Pokrovsk directions), the situation there is essentially critical; there is already a crisis, but it is transitioning into an operational-tactical crisis, and the situation is heavy,” concludes Oleg Starykov.

As reported by Politeka, Musiienko stated that events in Syria have proven that no dictatorial regime is eternal.

Politeka also reported that Murzagulov revealed who could repeat Prigozhin’s march: ‘Chechens could take Moscow tomorrow’.
