Russia is preparing for the final stage of the SVO – SBU Colonel
The Russian Federation is preparing to conduct the final stage of the special operation in Ukraine. Reserves have been formed in each direction and preparations are underway for a strategic operation.
Retired SBU colonel and military expert Oleg Starikov stated this on air during journalist Vasily Golovanov's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

" We're currently in the third stage, but naturally there will be a fourth, final stage. Because our forces and resources have accumulated. The enemy has amassed between 50 and 60 troops in each sector . That's roughly two or three corps or one army; that's the operational component."
"But troops can't just stand there—they must either retreat to their permanent bases or continue fighting. So, all the tactics and strategy I'm currently observing on the line of contact have two modes of execution. The first is slowly carving out territory, occupying it, capturing it. And the second is preparing for a strategic operation ," Starikov stated.
