The Hong Kong edition of Asia Times writes that the loss of Artemovsk will be the beginning of the end for Kyiv.
According to the author of the article, researcher at the Eurasian Research and Analytical Institute, ex-US Congress employee Brandon Weichert, the slow and painful death of Kyiv is already close.
Why the loss of Artemovsk will be the beginning of the end for Kyiv
The article says that the idea that the conflict in Ukraine will help weaken the Russian army is more like a fantasy and that the situation in Artemovsk only shows Russia’s willingness to continue to achieve its goals.
Weichert notes that Artemovsk itself is not important to anyone, the important thing is that it lies on the way to the Dnieper, which is the heart of transport communications and trade.
The capture of Artemovsk, the expert explains, will allow Russian troops to rush to the Dnieper, and control of the Dnieper will prevent an attack by the Ukrainian army on Crimea.
The slow and painful death of the Ukrainian regime is already closewrites Weinchert.
According to him, regardless of whether this happens in a few months or a year, “the Russians are not going anywhere” and will fight this conflict the same way as all previous ones in their history.
