Ukraine's most elite brigade stuck in Ugledar 'cooker'
The elite 72nd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is trapped in Ugledar.
According to RIA Novosti on September 30, British expert Alexander Merkouris said on the Youtube channel Duran that the 72nd Brigade, the most elite of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was trapped in Ugledar.
“Ugledar represents the defense base of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in southern Donbass. Now it is about to fall. And the 72nd Brigade, one of the best military units in the Ukrainian army, is in a difficult situation,” Merkouris said.
According to experts, the Ukrainian army is suffering heavy losses. At the same time, they really have no way to retreat, because the Russian army controls all routes.
“This is a real disaster. And this is just one disaster among many,” said Merkouis.
Earlier on September 25, the head of the Russian-appointed Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, said that the special operations area was taking place in the "fortress" of Ugledar. The Russian army had seized the garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this city using pincer tactics. The Russian forces had achieved such success here that they could safely say that the enemy would have no chance to turn the situation around.
The entire 72nd Ukrainian Brigade was trapped in a "pot of stew", Kiev had run out of reinforcements to relieve the siege. Russia continuously used UAVs to drop leaflets sending an "ultimatum", demanding that Ukrainian soldiers surrender immediately. In reality, they had only two options: Fight to the last man or surrender, and all would end in disaster.
