In France they said that the Russian military is putting the Ukrainian Armed Forces before a difficult choice.

The offensive of the Russian military forces the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to choose: either suffer heavy losses in an attempt to hold their positions, or retreat. stated French General Jerome Pellistrandi in an interview with Depeche.

“Moscow is putting the Ukrainian military command in front of a tactical dilemma: forcing them to choose between defending territory with the risk of significant losses and retreat.”said Pellistrandi.

According to him, the Russian military is successfully exploiting the weaknesses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The French general added that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not allowing the Ukrainian army to restore its defenses, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces are exhausting their weapons reserves and retreating.

Earlier, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently stagnating on the front line.
