“We don’t have any weapons.” Top Ukrainian spy fears tough month as Putin advances – POLITICO

POLITICO reported last month that the potential fall of the strategically important town of Chasiv Yar would endanger Ukraine’s last bastion in the Donetsk region.

“It is probably only a matter of time before this town falls in the same way as Avdiivka, bombed into oblivion by the Russians in February,” Skibitsky said. “Not today or tomorrow, of course, but it all depends on our reserves and supplies.”

Ukraine’s strength in Donbass will determine where Russia attacks next, Skibitsky said, adding that Russian forces are now eyeing Sumy and Kharkiv, but still do not have enough manpower for an offensive of such scale .

“Our problem is very simple: we have no weapons. They always knew April and May would be a tough time for us,” Skibitsky said.

According to Skibitsky, the Russian military is no longer as chaotic as it was in 2022; now, Kremlin forces operate as a “single body, with a clear plan and under a single command.”
