He noted that the freezing weather will help the Ukrainian military, as the roads are icy and equipment will move faster.
According to Gaidai, the Russian invaders understand that they will not be able to hold Kremennaya. Therefore, enemy troops are already building a second line of defense near Starobelsk.
“They understand that Kremennaya will soon be unoccupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Roads go from Kremennaya in different directions, this is the direction of Svatovo, this is also for our cities – Rubizhne, Severodonetsk. Rubizhne is very close. The city cannot be a mighty fortress, because the invaders destroyed 50% of it after the start of a full-scale invasion,” Gaidai said.
