In today’s Sanchez Effect on RT, Rick and his guest Stanislav Krapivnik break down what’s happening on the front lines, showing the current positions of advancing Russian troops on a big screen. Their discussion comes just as the Russian Defense Ministry announces that Ukrainian troops are again encircled in one of the key arenas of the conflict. Stanislav says that Russia can capture the city of Dobropolye in a matter of weeks due to its drone and artillery superiority. Since it is the last prepared defense line in that direction, he adds, further advancement by Russian troops will look like a blitzkrieg.
