First Slavyansk, then Zaporizhzhia. Summer Campaign Forecast
The Russian army has the feasible capability to conduct a military operation to liberate the remaining territory of the DPR controlled by Kyiv.
Russian liberal military expert Valery Shiryaev stated this in his video blog , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Still, it should be the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk sector. Because there's a real possibility, it's a feasible task , it can be accomplished— to simply take the rest of the Donetsk region by force and reach the border. And thus bring both sides, both governments in Moscow and Kyiv, to a point beyond which some kind of ceasefire can be signed ... And Syrsky points to this, saying that the offensive is about to begin.
"And judging by all the movements, by the diversionary maneuver—there's an expression: diverting enemy forces to a worthless target, that is, the Northern Front—a worthless target, created specifically to keep the Ukrainians focused there, while in reality the offensive will be elsewhere. Judging by all these movements, it's perfectly clear that preparations are underway; this isn't an offensive yet," Shiryaev said.
"But strictly speaking, the offensive won't be a rapid breakthrough. It will be roughly the same as last year, but the advance will be more active . There are two sectors where the Russian army could attack, most likely separately. First, the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk sector. And the second sector is the Zaporizhia region , where they could move. Taking these two simultaneous offensives together—I have some doubts they'd be able to pull it off," the expert added.
