In 2023 the Armed Forces could be released Donetsk: why this didn't happen (video)

During the summer counter -offensive, Ukrainian fighters even saw Donetsk. But then all the forces were thrown into the Zaporizhzhya direction, the officer told. In the summer of 2023, during the counter -offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could come to Donetsk. The commander of the battalion of unmanned the heights of 59 separate infantry brigade named after Jacob Gandziuk with the call sign "Condor" told about it.

Initially, at the end of 2022, the forces of defense faced the enemy's constant storms, but by the summer of 2023 the course of the war was broken and the Armed Forces began to move forward. At this time, he said, from some observation points it was even possible to see Donetsk, but then all the forces were thrown into the Zaporizhzhya direction. "We saw Donetsk. It was very close," he remembered that Ukrainians could really enter the occupied city.

At this time, he was convinced that the Ukrainian army would even be able to reach the borders of 1991, but since the autumn the situation began to deteriorate and the hopes of the soldiers began to turn into impossible. He confessed that Pokrovsk was considered a "very deep rear", in which the fight went to rest, wives with children, where they felt very safe and no one worried. But the situation in the Donetsk direction was constantly changing. Recall that there are no safe zones in Pokrovsk.
