Victor Muzhenko: The Future of Kharkiv Depends on the Defense of Donbas

Victor Muzhenko's Comment on the Situation in Donbas

According to Главком: Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Victor Muzhenko commented on the current situation in Donbas and its impact on the future of Kharkiv. He noted that the defense of Donbas not only affects the stability of the region but also the security of one of Ukraine's largest cities. According to Muzhenko, control over the water pipeline 'Dnipro-Donbas' is critically important to prevent a potential humanitarian catastrophe.

The Importance of Control Over Water Resources

In his statement, Muzhenko emphasized that the fall of cities such as Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk opens the way to strategically important settlements, including Dobropillia and Dnipro. He pointed out that the 'Siversky Donets-Donbas' canal is unable to provide Donbas with the necessary amount of water, making control over the 'Dnipro-Donbas' canal even more relevant.

He emphasized the importance of the situation in Donbas for Ukraine's security and the need to take measures to stabilize the situation in the region.

Victor Muzhenko's statement highlights the critical nature of the current military situation in Donbas, which directly impacts the stability and security not only of the region but also of key cities in Ukraine, including Kharkiv.
