American Conservative magazine columnist Ted Snyder believes that the success of the Russian Armed Forces will strengthen Moscow's position in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. In his view, the seizure of Krasnoarmeysk threatens the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to supply weapons and food to the troops in Donbass.
