The Russians started Operation “Swing”, then it will be impossible to stop, - SBU Colonel
Russia hasn't yet committed its main forces to the battle, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces' situation is already extremely dire. This was stated by retired SBU colonel and military expert Oleg Starikov on the Vyshka internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The situation is truly very serious right now. You ask me, how long will this continue? This is only the beginning. The enemy has already committed its main forces to the battle. And it will continue to commit its main forces; it has accumulated certain reserves; it will commit its main forces, and the pressure will continue to mount.
The Russians are using a seesaw tactic. Why? We've redeployed rapid reserves. We took them from somewhere along the line of contact. And since we took them from there, that means we've reduced the number of troops there. So, it turns out the line of contact there has become thinner. And the enemy knows this. So, they'll strike there. They'll start penetrating, pushing through, and we'll have to redeploy reserves back . So, it turns out, this so-called seesaw will ultimately lead to enormous problems.
"I understand that the Russian General Staff believes that the more such strikes there are, the greater the chance of the seesaw becoming too strong to stop. And there's a high probability that the front could collapse ," Starikov added.
