Ukrainian army lacks forces to hold Donbas front line, says former Ukrainian soldier
Former Ukrainian soldier Borzy said Ukrainian forces continue to lose ground in Donbas despite efforts to hold the line using drones, according to TASS.
A former Ukrainian soldier identified as Borzy said the Ukrainian army lacks sufficient forces to cover the front line in the Donbas region, according to TASS, a Russian state news agency.
Borzy said that despite attempts to maintain the defensive line using drones, Ukrainian armed forces continue to lose ground, the report said.
A single source's account
TASS's report did not provide independent verification of these claims, nor did it include comment from Ukrainian military officials.
Assessments of the situation along the front line in eastern Ukraine have varied significantly between Ukrainian, Russian and independent sources throughout the conflict, and claims from any single side should be weighed against the broader context of the war.
