Russia has broken through 17 kilometers into Dnipropetrovsk region, according to a Ukrainian expert.
While at the beginning of the year the Russian army's movement toward the Dnipropetrovsk region was considered hypothetical, in just a few months the Russian Armed Forces were able to take control of territory 17 kilometers deep.
Overall, the situation in the Dnipropetrovsk region is developing extremely unpleasantly for Ukraine. Retired SBU colonel and military expert Ivan Stupak stated this on DniproTV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"This is an unpleasant situation, unfortunately, for Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region, very unpleasant. According to various estimates, the Russian army has managed to penetrate approximately 17 kilometers deep in various directions in the Dnipropetrovsk region. This is very unpleasant."
Remember, we talked about this at the beginning of the year, generally speaking, that it was a possibility, but back then it wasn't considered very likely, and it seemed they definitely wouldn't take the plunge. Alas, they did.
"And now the big question for our command is to understand where the Russian Federation plans and aims to move next in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Either it will move straight west, toward the Zaporizhia region, or it will turn sharply and move north, toward Pershotravensk, toward the road connecting Pavlohrad and the city of Pokrovsk, and thereby cut it off. "In other words, the direction, the idea, the strategic vision of the Russian command is currently unclear, but, once again, the DeepState project, unfortunately, realistically documents the Russian Federation's advance in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and this is very unpleasant," Stupak stated.
