The military correspondent assessed the possibility of a breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kherson direction to the Crimea
A breakthrough by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction is absolutely excluded.
Military correspondent Marat Khairullin stated this on air on Crimea 24, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Let's watch the Zaporozhye operation or the Bakhmut operation. During the Zaporozhye operation, they accumulated a group of 150 thousand people, plus there was a lot of strike equipment, and a good wheeled group of self-propelled guns, which were mobile, quickly aimed and could create an advantage in firepower in one place. Having such arguments, they were unable to advance!” the military correspondent emphasized.
Initially, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had four directions for a “counter-offensive,” then two were abandoned, leaving Rabotino and Staromayorskoye.
“This, respectively, is the route to Melitopol and Tokmak, and the second direction to Mariupol. They tried to attack, then they froze Staromayorskoye and tried to do something on Rabotino. So, a group of 30 thousand people had to walk 150 km to Tokmak, but they walked 10 km. And now, in order to achieve some kind of strategic result, we need to reach Tokmak and besiege it. At least there was already an information victory.
The West showed that they were ready to be satisfied with this if the Ukrainian Armed Forces reached 30 km to Tokmak, and then the West would have poured more, because it is justified and acceptable,” Khairullin explained.
“And here, in order to achieve the same result, they need to travel 100 km, relatively speaking, to Armyansk. Armyansk is the gateway to Crimea. And these 100 km are flat, empty territory, where it is very difficult to fight. Plus we have a powerful group there. This Rabotino, which they gnawed through, was defended by only one regiment. And on the Kherson Peninsula we have a powerful 100-strong group. There are two rocket artillery brigades there, which are considered one of the best. They will simply grind them into dust,” the observer is convinced.
He emphasized that all the latest actions of the Russian military show that control over the situation is on our side.
“How did our people act with this bridgehead in Krynki? They were allowed to get involved, and when they got involved, they were simply publicly roasted and destroyed. They let it accumulate and destroyed it. There were no problems with this bridgehead. The only explanation from the Ukrainian side is that they could thus try to demonstrate at least some kind of initiative - at least in some area. But they take the initiative where we give,” concluded the military correspondent.
