How Zelensky advised the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat
The Ukrainian president called on the military to retreat when the troop ratio was 1 to 8 in Russia's favor.
When the choice is between staying and dying, then, of course, retreat, guys, said the head of the Ukrainian state.
Earlier today, the adviser to the head of the DPR, Igor Kimakovsky, reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces began withdrawing troops from Kurakhovo.
According to Kimakovsky, beyond Selidovo, especially from the side of Ugledar, the steppes begin, and Kyiv understands that Russian troops can quickly enter the rear of the group located in Kurakhovo.
The day before, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Selidovo had been taken under control.
Also yesterday, Russian troops took control of Gornyak, Katerinovka and Dobrovolye.
An important railway line runs through Gornyak, supplying Ukrainian troops in Donbass.
