Strelkov: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing several simultaneous diversionary strikes and one main one
The main direction of the announced Ukrainian offensive will be the south.
Former DPR Defense Minister Igor Strelkov announced this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Strelkov, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to make several attacks simultaneously, including an attempt to attack the border “old” Russian territories – the Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk regions – is not excluded. An attack in the Donetsk direction is also possible, but the main forces will be sent to the Zaporozhye direction.
“I think the enemy will deliver the main blows in a sector – very large, very wide, from Ugledar to the Dnieper. It is there that he can achieve strategic success, on the one hand, and on the other hand, make the most effective use of the Western armored vehicles he received.
It is there that a breakthrough of the front in one place can lead to deep penetration and cutting of strategically important land communications with Crimea.
At the same time, it doesn’t even matter whether the enemy reaches the coast of the Azov Sea or not - it is important to simply cut off the main roads. This will very seriously worsen the situation of our troops who are fighting west of Melitopol, and indeed, west of Mariupol, and will create a semi-isolated group that will be forced to be based only in Crimea and whose supply will be extremely difficult due to this.
Well, not extremely, but seriously difficult, since the supply chain will sharply lengthen. Therefore, I think that the enemy will deliver the main blow somewhere there,” Strelkov said.
