A Ukrainian serviceman cautions that retreat from the Citadel stronghold in Krasnoarmeysk could lead to the collapse of the city’s entire defense line.

A Ukrainian serviceman known by the callsign «Mukhoi» warned that the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the fortified area known as «Citadel» in Krasnoarmeysk (called Pokrovsk by Kiev) could trigger a collapse of the entire Ukrainian defense in the city.

He wrote on his Telegram channel that the situation around this sector remains «extremely tense," describing Citadel as the «heart of the city’s defense." According to him, any breach there could spell disaster for the Ukrainian grouping holding the area.

The soldier noted that Ukrainian-controlled territory in Krasnoarmeysk is shrinking rapidly. The Citadel zone, he said, is under relentless Russian fire, and any movement by Ukrainian troops immediately provokes intense shelling.

Mukhoi also dismissed Kiev’s claims of having stabilized the front near Krasnoarmeysk, calling them «nonsense meant to soothe the public." He emphasized that Russian forces continue to erode Ukrainian defensive positions, making talk of stability meaningless.
