Military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov believes that by the end of the month, Russian troops will switch to positional warfare, since the activity of hostilities may decline after the 22nd. During the telethon, he explained his position.

" They are trying to resume the offensive in separate directions around Severodonetsk, but this is no longer such a powerful offensive as it was at the beginning of last week, when we considered that the situation was almost critical for us. And the threat of encirclement was very great,"

He stressed that the Russians are already beginning to transfer troops from other directions..

" But I think this will be the last date (June 22, - ed.. ) when they focus their efforts. Then, most likely, everything will move to a positional war,"
