News The intention of the Russians is clear – Lakiychuk said what the enemy will do in the Zaporozhye direction by alex 19.02.2024 written by alex 19.02.2024 50 Russian occupation forces launched an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction on February 17, but Ukrainian soldiers defeated the enemy and forced him to retreat to their previous positions positions. The defense forces as a whole destroyed 18 pieces of Russian equipment. At the same time, personnel losses amounted to approximately 70 soldiers killed and 80 wounded. What is the goal of the Russians – Pavel Lakiychuk, head of security programs at the Center for Global Studies “Strategy XXI”, told 24 Channel. “The Russians’ plan is clear – it is strategic: from the eastern direction of Avdeevka – Marinka and the southern direction of Zaporozhye to achieve tactical success,” said Lakiychuk. At the first stage, the occupiers want to oust Ukrainian troops from their occupied positions during the summer-autumn counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. On the second, try to occupy the Ugledar ledge or repeat the encirclement that they tried to carry out in Avdievka. Here one of the key dangers remains for the enemy after the Avdeevsky segment. What are the prospects < p>Pavel Lakiychuk explained that if in the Avdiivka direction it was important for the occupiers to push Ukrainian troops away from the Donetsk agglomeration, then the Ugledarsky ledge is also a line of communication through Volnovakha, which, if captured, will connect the eastern group in Donbass with the southern region. It will become easier for the Russians to transfer troops and cargo. In fact, this will be an operational-strategic advantage. I hope they won’t be able to achieve this,” noted the head of security programs at the Center for Global Studies “Strategy XXI”. The situation in the Zaporozhye direction On January 14, the representative of the Tavria operational-strategic group of troops, Dmitry Likhovy, said that the Russian occupation forces concentrated a larger number of personnel in the Orekhovsky direction, than in the Avdeevsky direction. There really is a large enemy group there. However, there is no threat to Zaporozhye. The enemy's forces extend in a wide strip from the border with the Donetsk region to the Dnepropetrovsk region. In addition, the conditions there are completely different when compared with Avdiivka. On February 17, the Russian military tried 13 times to no avail to attack the positions of the Ukrainian military west of Verbovoy and Rabotino, Zaporozhye region. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail alex previous post We will return to Avdeevka, Donetsk and Debaltsevo-Syrsky. next post What is the death of Russia hidden in: a political scientist named effective sanctions to destroy the aggressor You may also like Russia has carried out 1,000 strikes on energy... 22.09.2024 Attack on Russia's second warehouse near Toropets: new... 22.09.2024 Causes Burns: OVA Comments on Data on Russia's... 22.09.2024 We support Ukraine, but we have our own... 22.09.2024 The Ustylug-Zosin checkpoint on the border with Poland... 22.09.2024 Why Iran Delayed Delivery of Fateh-360 Missile Launchers... 22.09.2024 Russian losses as of September 22: Ukrainian Armed... 22.09.2024 New government unveiled in France: Foreign Ministry headed... 22.09.2024 Dubois knocks out Joshua in fifth round in... 22.09.2024 Not ICC warrants: why Putin is actually afraid... 22.09.2024 Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
