Intelligence reports that the Russians have been trying to develop their offensive since the beginning of January. But the invaders dispersed their forces along the entire front line. Experts suggest that the Russians are afraid of the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
This Channel 24 said military expert, instructor pilot and colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the reserve Roman Svitan . He jokes that if Russia is as big as its offensive, then it doesn't have long to live.
According to him, the Russians have nothing to attack.
“The number of troops that they now have is calculated, with weapons, too, everything is clear.About 300,000 Russians are now scattered over thousands of kilometers of the front line to a depth of 100 kilometers,” Svitan explained.
The occupiers are afraid of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The expert noted that the occupiers have to hold the entire front line because they are afraid of our offensive towards the Azov embankment.
“They understand that such a movement will cut off and transfer the Crimean, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya group of invaders into the operational encirclement.. Therefore, they have to hold the entire depth of the front, and for an offensive in them a maximum of about 100 thousand collected in Russia and delivered to Ukraine,” Svitan explained.
In his opinion, these mobilized people are being thrown into the Donetsk and Luhansk directions. “We see them, therefore, pressure is growing on those 200 kilometers of the front in the East because of the “west” of these 100 thousand Russians,” the colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine added.
They will fully enter by the end of February, so by this time there will be a peak of pressure that Russia can organize in Ukraine. We are definitely not talking about any large-scale offensive,” Svitan said.
The military expert added that the offensive actions that the Russians are now conducting are logical – the invaders are trying to push our troops out of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
According to him, the invaders will also try to oust the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region from Kupyansk.

The offensive of the occupiers is in our favor – we are destroying them
Svitan emphasized that the leaders involved in the Eastern direction, see it too. According to him, there are certain engineering structures there, additional measures have been taken to strengthen the second and third lines of defense.
We expect an increase in the movement of invaders. On the one hand, this is beneficial to us, since our task is to destroy the enemy, and such pressure from the Russians leads to their heavy losses, – said the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
By the way, for the past day Ukrainian soldiers liquidated 1030 Russian invaders. In general, since the beginning of a full-scale war, the Russian army has lost 133,190 of its soldiers.
