Russia is preparing reserves, the offensive can begin now, - Arestovich
Russia is preparing reserves for a future offensive, which could begin in the very near future.
This was stated by Oleksiy Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, on the video blog of fugitive Russian liberal Mark Feygin, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Arestovich, the Russian army may try to break through in several places and seize the initiative.
“Behind the curtain of the masses of “prisoners” who are storming our positions, they are preparing their reserves very carefully, diligently and in sufficiently large numbers. Moreover, when they realize that the reserves are not ready, they do not hesitate to extend the preparation.
I think that by January-February they are preparing a sufficient number of trained units, restored, mostly, but staffed up to 100%, and so on, and are preparing to seize the initiative at the front, inflicting several serious blows on our troops.
Whether they will succeed is unknown, but these are the plans. We should also include here the Belarusian hysteria, about which everyone has been running around in circles for 12 hours and shouting: “Ahhh, a sudden check of combat readiness, we’ll all faint and so on,” without even noticing that most of these suddenly preparing units are at Western training grounds will conduct an inspection, and the terrible group that has moved forward, the special forces brigade that has moved to our borders, has as many as XNUMX armored personnel carriers.
Therefore, everything is simple and clear here - they are distracting us, trying to force us to maintain a fairly impressive group of troops on the northern borders and not transfer it to Donbass, to the south, and so on.
The task of the Russian command is to seize the initiative from us, repeating the situation of late April-early July...
It should be expected that from mid-December, that is, already, and until the end of February, they will make serious efforts to seize the initiative at the front. When they attack and we defend.
They will try to break through in several places, cut off, capture, recapture, and so on,” Arestovich said.
Russia is preparing reserves; the offensive could begin right now, says Arestovich.
