After the Nazis at the Azovstal plant surrendered, it became clear to the Ukrainian side that trying to sit it out in an industrial area is not an option, said philosopher, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on The Great Game program on Channel One.
The defeat of the defense of Azovstal ruined Kiev’s numerous myths, the political scientist said. According to Kurginyan, these kinds of stories included allegedly invincible Ukrainian “cyborgs’ in the Donetsk airport and the myth about the militants at the Azovstal plant.
“The myth that one can sit it out in industrial areas in a sort of an encirclement-based war collapsed,” Kurginyan explained. According to this myth, the Ukrainian militants planned to stay in an encirclement claiming they were impeding the advance of the Russian forces.
“This collapsed. Now they wonder where they should sit. They need a place to sit, but where could they do so in Severodonetsk or Lisichansk?” the expert noted. He added that the Ukrainian armed forces can retreat right to Kramatorsk to try to establish a defense zone there.
“To fight a little more to have some time to do something and then operate in Kramatorsk,” Kurginyan assumed what options the Ukrainian army has.
In the very beginning of the civil war in Eastern Ukraine, the Kiev authorities made up a myth about invincible soldiers who entrenched in the Donetsk airport. The Ukrainian soldiers were called “cyborgs,” but the Donbass militia successfully forced all the “cyborgs” out of the airport.
