The Russian military leadership continues to deploy more and more units to the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, but it is not yet clear whether this is done for an offensive or to hold the occupied territories in the event of a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now in the southern regions there is about a third of all Russian troops in Ukraine. Military expert Sergei Zgurets said this in a commentary to UNN..

According to him, over the past weeks, the occupiers have transferred to the southern direction a certain number of personnel from the Eastern Military District, airborne units and other directions, in particular from Izyumsky and Donbass.. In total, there are about 30 enemy BTGs there, which is about a third of all Russian troops in Ukraine.

Zgurets emphasizes that it is difficult to guess the future plans of the enemy right now. Such a number of military and equipment may indicate both the intention of the offensive and the intention to preserve the occupied territories.. According to the expert, if the Russians still decide to attack, then the main directions will be Zaporozhye, Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog.

“These are only theoretical estimates of the possible actions of the Russian troops, and to a large extent they are implemented difficult. In particular, because of the interrupted communication in the Kakhovka zone, which was the supply site for the Russians. I think that the Ukrainian side will be able to implement more than one such event, even before the complete cutting off of logistics on the right bank of the Dnieper. Then the enemy will have a question what to do with this grouping, and it is unlikely that we will talk about an offensive. In the coming weeks, the question of what the enemy will do, attack or look for options to exit the right bank zone, will be decided. But the Ukrainian army has the ability to block all the actions of the Russians,” Zgurets said..

Earlier, Oleg Zhdanov said that Russia has serious problems with the production of new missiles due to Western sanctions..

Why the aggressor failed the first stage of the invasion and failed to succeed in the second?

What tasks should our army solve at the third stage in order to oust the Russians from Ukraine? What are the consequences of a truce to which Putin will persuade Ukraine? The answers to these questions and the forecast for the coming months can be found in the article by Major General, Head of the Center for the Study and Counteraction of Hybrid Threats Sergey Savchenko “Expecting powerful fire training and counteroffensive? It will not happen. Everything has already begun"
