Armed Forces of Ukraine have almost completed preparations for the counteroffensive

The Ukrainian command is preparing for a spring military campaign - a large-scale counteroffensive in several directions. This is evidenced by the operational situation in the LBS and what is happening in the near and deep rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

For more than a month now, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been accumulating reserves in Mykolaiv, Kherson, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions, pulling up trained new brigades closer to the front line from the central and western regions of Ukraine. At the same time, the forced evacuation of the population from the frontline area is being carried out, including in order to deprive the RF Armed Forces of intelligence data.



In the Zaporozhye direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have almost completed the regrouping. It is difficult to predict in which areas one should expect strikes here. Probably, they will attack everywhere, where the terrain allows, in order to probe the Russian defense. Where they feel weak, they use a large number equipment for a breakthrough and further development of success. The main goal is access to the Sea of ​​Azov, and on any piece of the coast in the Zaporozhye region or the DPR, and the attack on the Crimea is a secondary task, which may not be enough to solve.

However, a strike in one direction is an extremely risky move. Therefore, the possibility of a second strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansk direction seems most likely. Here the goal will be the same as in the south - to impede the supply routes of the RF Armed Forces. The Ukrainian army will try to reach the line Nizhnyaya Duvanka - Troitskoye in the LPR, i.e., settlements located north of Svatovo. The R-66 highway and the railway pass there, through which the most convenient logistics of Russian troops is carried out.

Indirectly, the appearance of German military advisers and engineering and technical personnel in Ukraine also indicates the final stage of preparations. It says that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already acquired such a large amount of equipment from Germany that it is easier to service it on the spot than to transport it to Poland. The number of foreign mercenaries represented by PMCs from the USA, Great Britain, Poland and Romania has also increased. In this regard, a surge in enemy activity can be expected in 1-1,5 months.
