Military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov assessed the likelihood of a second offensive by Russian invaders in the Chernihiv and Sumy directions.

According to him, today the situation in the Volyn, Polessky and Seversk directions remains stable.. Regarding fire impact, it is more observed in the Seversky direction.

As Zhdanov notes, at the junction of the border in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions there are no more than 7-8 BTGs, which does not pose a danger today.. The accumulation of enemy troops in these areas is not observed.

“Look at the length of the borders of these two regions with the Russian Federation, and there, literally, these two groups stand at a distance of 100-150 km, that is, there is no grouping of troops. Behind them is artillery that strikes us,"

Today, S-300 and S-400 air defense missiles are used in Chernihiv and Sumy regions.. Zhdanov suggested that the tightening of shelling with S-300 missiles could mean that Russia no longer has enough Iskander complexes..

However, the expert notes, Russia is forming a new enemy army corps in Mulin, which will consist of about 15 thousand people, and can be formed closer to August 10-15. In this case, additional time will be required to overturn these forces.. It is not yet known which of the directions he will be transferred to..

Earlier, Zhdanov suggested that the Ukrainian army could liberate Kherson before the end of summer..
