After the successful counter-offensive actions of the Ukrainian military in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, the front line shifted directly to the Luhansk region, and in some places our units go to attack there as well.
occupiers cannot make up for losses
About this Channel 24said the head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko. According to him, the conclusion suggests itself that the Russian troops, after the defeat and flight from Liman, most likely could occupy the defense line along the Kremenna-Svatovo line.
However, the invaders suffered significant losses in several directions in the East. They do not have time to regroup and do not have the ability to maneuver when they can transfer units in large numbers, for example, from the South or other directions.
At the same time, reserves, in particular on the territory of the Belgorod region, have not been formed. Therefore, there is no one to strengthen after the 20th Army and other Russian units lose their combat capability.
I think that the Russians are waiting and hoping for this mobilization, that it will give them strength and, as they think, stabilize the situation, although this looks doubtful, the military expert believes.
Some are already running away
At the same time, resources continue to dry up, and the occupying “power”, traitors, collaborators are already starting to flee, destroy documents and cover their tracks. According to Musienko, they are always among the first to do this.
“They only verbally call to go to die, fight, produce hatred for Ukraine, but in reality, as a rule, they are always in the forefront of the fleeing,” he added.
Russians are looking for new frontiers
The military expert noted that now a situation has developed in the East that can develop in several directions, and it is very difficult to predict and say exactly where the next strike of Ukrainian forces will be. Consequently, the Russian troops need to keep the defense along the entire front line. And since they do not have enough reserves and forces, they are trying to look for new frontiers. Perhaps they will try to create them in Severodonetsk.
“We'll see where it will be, where they will be able to do it, but they will not be able to support them anyway. Plus, the initiative has passed to the Ukrainian forces, and, in addition, that the initiative has passed, we see that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are carrying out counter-offensive actions,” Musienko summed up. .
What is the difference between the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the East and the South
The Armed Forces of Ukraine carry out counteroffensive operations simultaneously in the East and in the south of our country, however, these regions have their own characteristics. So, military expert Pavel Narozhny explained that it is much more difficult to attack in the South than in the East.
The main difference is in the landscape of the territories. In the South there are huge fields and steppes, so there is no where to dig in, there are almost no hills and forests. There are such places in the Donbass, so it is easier for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to advance and gain a foothold.
