Debaltseve must be given up, I said this on January 22.

February 12. A harsh day. something connected with immobilization and restriction. That is, encirclements are possible, and officers being taken prisoner. A well-managed military operation is possible. On this day intellect and tactics win. Active actions are contraindicated, a wait-and-see tactic, precise and measured tactical actions. An increased level of secrecy. (First signs of the Debaltseve pocket)

February 17. Redeployment of troops is possible, rapid advance, taking or retreating from strategic points. If the situation requires retreat, one should retreat. If positions need to be changed and troops regrouped, this should be done. A suitable time for reinforcement and bringing in help. Time to organize supply. (Retreat from Debaltseve)

Right now it is necessary to retreat, and more effort should be given to preserving people, not territories. That is how the chief programmer intended it. Whoever advances before March 15 will then retreat, and vice versa.
