In recent months, there have been warnings from everywhere about a new “great offensive” by the Russians. However, fierce battles on the front line did not stop.
Today, the Russians fired on the Armed Forces of Ukraine more than 100 times in different sectors of the front. So, the offensive of the Russians has already begun. About this Channel 24 said a military expert, a major in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war Oleksiy Getman.
Is there an opportunity
According to Hetman, the Russians have already begun the announced offensive actions, but miscalculated. Last year they planned “to take Kyiv in three days” and “to reach Lvov in two weeks.” Like, they are the “second army of the world”, which will defeat everyone. However, the occupiers did not take into account the power of our Armed Forces.
There is some progress, because there are a lot of people and heavy fighting. But not as much as they would like, – said the major of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The military expert adds that the Russians wanted Liman and Izyum back. There were plans through Kharkov, Poltava, Zaporozhye to reach the city of Dnepr and encircle our large group. There was also an intention to go from Belarus through the west of Ukraine to Transnistria.
There were Napoleonic plans there, but so far nothing has come of it. It seems that they began to be afraid to attack with large forces. The Russians have concentrated 97% of the Russian army on the front line, says Hetman.
Enemy troops are trying to attack and advance. However, according to Hetman, they are beginning to be afraid to use all the forces concentrated there.
They see what losses they will suffer: at least a battalion of infantry killed and a battalion wounded every day. They lose about a platoon to a tank company every day. These are big losses even for the Russian army, which has a large mobilization resource, says a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Most likely, the invaders will not dare to throw all their forces into battle. If we neutralize them, they will have no military left at all. “They will build up and press this offensive. However, they will not abandon all their forces, because Russia will simply be left without an army,” summed up Alexei Getman.
