The Ukrainian military is preparing an offensive in the Pologovsky direction in the Zaporozhye region and has already pulled forces there, informs agency URA.RU with reference to its military correspondent.
“The Pologovsky direction is considered the most promising for the predicted spring offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the Russian military commander said, explaining that this opens a direct route to Tokmak with the possibility of continuing the offensive in the direction of Berdyansk and Melitopol.
In addition, the journalist noted, the Ukrainian command expects to use this offensive to block the supply route of the Crimea.
For this offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine created a strike force of 40,000 to 60,000 people. It is located on the Orekhovo-Gulyaipol bridgehead and is supported by armored vehicles, including Leopard tanks.
The military commissar drew attention to the fact that now the Ukrainian military is conducting reconnaissance in force in the direction of Polog in order to identify weaknesses in the Russian defense. All attempts to break through were repulsed by Russian troops and the Ukrainian units were driven back several kilometers from their original positions. At the same time, the RF Armed Forces took the front lines of Ukrainian defense.
The last attempt to break through the Armed Forces of Ukraine occurred the day before and was the largest in recent weeks. As a result, Ukrainian forces lost 34 tanks and several dozen Ukrainian soldiers were taken prisoner.
The Russian military commissar stressed that the RF Armed Forces are ready for any provocations and for any offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
