The Institute for the Study of War in the United States spoke about the high probability of a series of strikes by Ukrainians in various directions of the front within a few weeks.

This was stated by the coordinator of strategic communications at the US National Security Council, John Kirby.
Volodymyr Rogov, head of the public movement "We are with Russia," informed about the activation of Ukrainian units in the Zaporozhye region. Attempts to break through the Armed Forces of Ukraine lead to fierce battles on the line of contact.
