‼️US advises Ukraine to withdraw forces from Artemivsk, - AFP
▪️A senior US official told France Press that Kyiv's efforts to hold the city are hindering preparations for the expected spring offensive.
▪️According to the official, in the case of Artemovsk, time is on the side of Russia, which has more artillery and military resources. Training takes time, so the Ukrainians should consider "exchanging" Artemivsk for training.
▪️Kyiv may not have enough resources to both conduct military operations in the city and prepare for an offensive in the south of the country. Artyomovsk is located in the Kyiv-held part of the DPR north of the large city of Gorlovka, being an important transport hub for supplying the Ukrainian group of troops in the Donbass.
"The states are advising Kyiv to withdraw these forces in order to re-equip and join US programs aimed at building a well-armed force capable of launching an offensive in the south," AFP reports.
