Kyiv Post: After Debaltseve Defeat, What Next?: Out from Debaltseve hell and back to the trenches
ARTEMIVSK, Ukraine – Less than 24 hours after breaking out of the encirclement in Debaltseve on top of a tank, junior lieutenant Taras Savchuk was digging trenches at the new front line some 46 kilometers northwest, near Artemivsk, on. Feb. 19.
Savchuk, 25, who worked as agronomist in Khmelnytsky Oblast before being drafted to the 30th Mechanized Brigade, said his unit was lucky to survive during a dramatic escape under fire. He said he saw at least five Ukrainian soldiers killed while fleeing from Debaltseve on Feb. 18.
Now Savchuk thinks that Russian troops and their proxies will advance despite the Feb. 12 Minsk cease-fire agreement, which the Kremlin has already ignored. “Most probably they won’t stop and will try to capture Artemivsk and then Sloviansk,” Savchuk told the Kyiv Post, as he cleaned his Kalashnikov with a toothbrush.
WNU Editor: After the fall of Debaltseve I expected the fighting to die down significantly .... but it has not. The fighting is spreading, and attempts to implement the ceasefire on the ground continue to fail. There is now a growing fear on the Ukrainian side that the next attack will be on the coastal city of Mariupol (see above video).

WNU Editor,
They are selling a meme, to the "low information voter".
Other than 3 days during Christmas, there has always been shelling around Donetsk,
Around Mariupol, The Romulans have invaded the Neutral Zone, sorry, Azov has pushed units into the neutral zone, and they are being struck with Artillary and SRG's,
And in Debaltseve, there are between roughly 4,000 and 6,000 missing UAF, and they can't all be dead, so the " cleaning" will be noisy.
Other than that, it's pretty quiet.
Jay .... Someone I know in Ukraine just told me the same thing tonight .... and then he added the following .... "it is the lull before the storm".
WNU Editor,
It's the lull before the storm, but there is no predicting now where the storm will break out.
It might break out in the Rada, it might break out on Maiden, there might be a move by The Veterans of the ATO,
Azov could provoke the loss of Mariupol.
You are absolutely right. Putin's criminals will march on, disregarding all and any agreements and West will just watch.
Anonamous,
The Ukraine needs warm bodies, and they will take anybody. Azov and Aidar are also hiring.
Why don't you go?
