In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick sets the table aside to walk you through our big wall map of the Ukraine conflict, breaking down why taking Konstantinovka matters for the Russian advance. He’s joined by one of the most experienced military analysts, former US army officer Stanislav Krapivnik, who has been to Donbass many times. Stanislav explains that Konstantinovka gives Russia a chance to encircle all of Ukraine’s Donetsk army group, meaning they’re basically finished. He also tells Rick that the agglomeration that includes Konstantinovka is the last Ukrainian line of defence in the Donetsk People’s Republic, with nothing but unprepared fields and small villages behind it – and once this line is crossed by Russia, Ukrainian forces have no choice but to flee. Stanislav also takes us through all the other frontline developments. Watch it on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.
