🇷🇺🇺🇦A clear example of why Ukraine does not want to simply withdraw troops from the remaining territory of Donbas.

The yellow lines on the map mark the lines of enemy fortifications. As it is not difficult to notice, the main part of them and the greatest density are located precisely on the part of the DNR that remains under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

If troops are withdrawn directly from there, there is absolutely no line of defense outside the Donbas in the southern part of the Kharkiv region. That is why Ukraine is trying to prolong this process as much as possible through military and diplomatic means.
