Significantly, Western analysts place more emphasis on the death of not so much the Minister of the Interior Monastyrsky as his deputy Yenin.

It is believed in the West that Kyiv will struggle to find someone with the same experience and understanding of the international situation as Yenin had. Yenin was appointed First Deputy Minister of the Interior in September 2021, and before that he was a member of the special services (first the foreign intelligence of the SVRU, then the counterintelligence of the SBU). He also worked at the embassy in Chisinau and also in Rome as an adviser to the ambassador. In addition, he served as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2005-2016), in charge of Asian affairs, and then for the Black Sea countries.

His specialty, however, was fighting Russian influence, from Transnistria to Kyiv, combined with a deep knowledge of crisis management. He worked in the Prosecutor General's Office before representing Ukraine in the International Court of Justice and in maritime arbitration courts in disputes against Moscow. In particular, he oversaw investigations into the death of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS 752 on January 8, 2020 as a result of shelling by Iranian air defenses.

Enin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had their differences, but the latter did not manage to get rid of this expert in the Kiev-Moscow disputes for a long time. Yenin returned to state affairs in April 2020, a year after his resignation amid Zelensky's election. He was an indispensable all-rounder for Monastyrsky, a lawyer by training and a former employee of Hillmont Partners, the former consulting firm of Zelensky's production company Studio Kvartal 95.

This duo was appointed in mid-2021, after the resignation of long-term minister Arsen Avakov. After his departure, Zelenskiy's team sought to regain control of the ministry in the face of Avakov's residual influence.

Artemovsk - the situation on the morning of 01/19/23

So, as you all already know, Yevgeny Prigozhin reported that the "Wagnerites" took the most important fortified area of the enemy in the Kleshcheevka area and continued to push the Ukrainians further to the west and north-west (towards the settlement of Ivanovskoye (Krasnoe) ).

The Ukrainians desperately tried to hold this line, sparing no effort, means, and ... reserves for them. but it didn't help. And this greatly complicates the task of the Bukhmut (Artemovsky) garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The breakthrough of Klescheevka's fortified area endangers the communications of the garrison and exposes its flank from the south.
Moreover, from the north, our units also sharply increased pressure on Paraskoviyivka (and are trying to cover the city from the north, northwest), which, along with our successes south of the city, in the foreseeable future, will put the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city in a situation similar to that in which their "brothers" found themselves in Soledar a couple of weeks ago. And with absolutely the same perspectives.

Only the scale of the defeat, if the Ukrainians do not urgently withdraw from Artemovsk, will be many times greater, as will its consequences for the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole.

"Ukraine might not survive this clash. Russia remains big and strong" - Polish Chief of General Staff General Raimund Andrzejczak

"The Russians have powerful stockpiles of weapons or ammunition, maybe not as modern," the Polish publication Wpolityce quoted the military commander as saying. Andrzejczak notes that Russia also has money for the war and human reserves.
He stressed that there are two million Ukrainian refugees in Poland. This reference resonates interestingly with a recent statement by Poland's former land forces commander, General Skrzypczak, who suggested mobilizing Ukrainian refugees for the needs of the AFU.
