All right, Alexander, let's talk about the military situation in Ukraine and let's focus on the battle for Bakrowski.

What is going on in this very important logistics hub in Dombas?

Yeah, I think Bakrowski is not just a logistics hub.

I think it is also, to some extent,

now the big fortified position that the Ukrainians have, which the Russians are determined

to capture.

This is shaping up to be the big battle, certainly in the first half of 2025.

I mean, Bachmert was the big battle in 23.

Avdeyevka was the big battle in 2024.

Pachrovsk is the big battle now in 2025.

And if Pachrovsk is captured by the Russians, perhaps I should correct that when Pakrovsk is captured by the Russians.

A number of things will start to happen.

Firstly, going back to what you said about logistics, it will be much more difficult to keep the Ukrainian supplied with, to keep the

Ukrainian supplied in Dombas, in other parts of Dombas, because Pachrovsk used to be, I mean,

it obviously isn't any longer, but it used to be a major hub through which supplies were funneled to the Ukrainian

grouping in Dombas, which is defending Slaviansk, Kramatosk and Konstantinovka.

Now, the Ukrainians do have alternative supply routes that go through the north, through a town called EZium, which the Russians

briefly controlled in 2022, and which they might potentially recapture later this year.

But if they lose Krakosk, the Ukraine is Lusk- Pachrosk, obviously the other big supply route is irretrievably lost.

But that, in my opinion, is only one thing, because if the Russians control Pachrovsk,

Bakrowski lies on top of a whole network of roads and railwayways. It's a bit like Bachmert in that respect.

If the Russians capture it, they can advance in all sorts of different directions. They can advance
