Dmytro Kucharczuk argues that the situation for Ukrainians on the front is becoming increasingly difficult despite momentary stabilization. "We are losing territories; we are losing the best people," says the commander of the Ukrainian II Battalion of the 3rd Assault Brigade.
According to the military, this is the "most critical stage" of the war for the Ukrainian army.
"People observed the events in Avdiivka. After Avdiivka, the enemy almost broke through the front. The situation remains critical, but people like to update the DeepState map and draw their own conclusions. It seems to them that it is stabilized. And then they relax again," Dmytro Kucharczuk explains.
"We are losing this war"
Kucharczuk has no doubt that the Russians have taken the initiative, and the situation for Ukraine is becoming dire. "Yes, we are losing this war now. It's obvious. We are losing territories, we are losing the best people," he said.
The commander also emphasizes the drastic change in public sentiment. He pointed out that more and more Ukrainians are beginning to accept the necessity of reaching an agreement with Russia, even if the price is the loss of some territories.
"I don't separate the military world from the civilian world. I divide it into the world of Ukrainians and the world of 'Khakhly,'" he stated. 'Khakhly' is a derogatory term for Ukrainians.
"Unfortunately, there are far more 'Khakhly' today. The 'Khakhly' in Dnipro will agree to give away the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The 'Khakhly' in Kyiv will agree to give away left-bank Ukraine, and the 'Khakhly' in Lviv will agree to give away Ukraine along the Zbruch River," the military man said.
